    Utah May 2 - 13th

    Pretty much giving up on the shit weather here and heading to Utah to go bike from May 2 - 13th. First heading to SLC to spin the wheels. Then off to Moab then GJ.

    Any TGRtards going to be around especially Moab? Moab would be probably around May 5th timeframe. Would like to do the Whole Enchilada - we could hop on the shop shuttle but if there's anyone around to plan the shuttle Sharon and I would be into that too

    You may have to hold the sauce on that enchilada... I doubt that Burro Pass will be ready yet, but I hope it is for you!

    Lee, just saw your thread. Going to be in Moab May 4th through 6th then Grand Junction on the 7th. So far we have a shuttle reserved for Friday the 4th at 8:30 at poison spider if you're interested. If that doesn't work lets try and meet up, p.m. me.

    What are the chances of finding good camping if we roll into town around 6 on Thursday?

    We got to Slickrock early afternoon on a Thursday middle of last October and there wasn't squat. Ended up camping out at Ken's Lake. It turned out to be the busiest weekend in Moab any of us had ever seen, so YMMV.

    Honestly, the place is getting overrun with fair-weather Canucks.
    Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

    Lee

    Will be in Grand Mesa May 11- 15th. Plan on riding the Flowing Park you posted along with Fruita (18 rd and the Kokopelli trails).

    PM me and we'll try to hook up on a ride or two.

    We got one of the last 3 "legit" spots out in Kane Creek at 7:30 this past Thursday. Some friends had luck over around Klondike Bluffs...

    Just rode it 3 days ago. Shuttles are dropping off at Kokopelli. We rode to the top of Hazard. You can actually ride up a significant portion of Burro if you're up for it. There's still some white stuff on the top of the north facing peaks.

    Thx Lev - its warm now so we'd figured to let it sit for a half week more and let it dry out even more

    Nice pics Lee. I saw that you were riding with David and Sarah from Desert Rat Tours. I rode Ribbon with them, Noel Buckley, and other crew last week at the Fruita fest. Sounds like I was doing your trip a week early. Have fun down there! Awesome place, awesome peeps.

    Those shots are sick Lee and Sharon, nice teamwork. Glad we met up for a ride. We went out and did Horsetheif Bench after riding with you (thanks for the water) and then went and rode a bunch at 18 Road later that night and this morning. Great end to a great trip, thanks again for meeting up and steering us right.
