Yup. Wheeled out there about 5 years in a row... took my bike last year and had a blast and covered more ground in one trip than the previous 5 years

Ah, bronco safari... that would explain all the broncos We were a fairly big group of 11 bikes, I was on the blue bike with yellow backgrounds and black numbers... I kept waiting to see a miata on the trail since this weekend was also "miatas in moab..." which led to a sad bmw driver near pasta jays when we asked him when bmw started making miatas

and some more moab fun...

Nicely done on Hell's Gate. That's a scary bastard on an ATV, as the idea of 800lbs coming over on you is less than thrilling. But a bike still isn't that much different.

That's the best place I've ever rode. I love Moab and its ability to never be the same year after year. One of my favorite trails is the poison spider loop.

Looks good Scotty. Moab is so much fun on two wheels vs four.

NEXT TIME make sure to hit Green River, the SWELL, and Dick Brass Trail system....it will make you really appreciate that area even more.

Wow... You actually posted something nice and worthwhile... You feeling ok
Def want to hit green river and San raf swell...haven't heard of dick brass? Pushed hard to get the group to do 5moh, but we had a big group and some would not have liked it I'm sure. Maybe in the fall?

The Dick Brass Trail system includes 5MOH, Red, Green, Orange, and Purple trails(25 miles west of Green River). Another trail 8 miles away via bikes is The Waterfall Trail, which is also bitchen ST. These trails are all marked and there is maps at the trailheads.

I haven't personally ridden in Green River area but apparently you can ride out the hotel room door any direction and hit some amazing ST. Next time you go on ADVrider check out the Rockies forum thread titled; 'The Swell'. There is some good video showing the different trails and potential of the area. I plan to go back in October to hit that stuff.

Thanks, I've got a bunch more posted from the trip on my YouTube channel. Pretty much the whole sovereign trail system is there. I imagine some people ride there throughout the summer, it was already a bit warm when we were there though... Imagine late June-August would be hot.
Fuggy, lmk on the October trip... Sounds like fun!
