Thanks, gents! My wife’s parents live off of Mountain Rd, I have been riding those trails on and off for 23 years or so. I have always had fun there, but this time was absolutely the most fun on an ebike. Absolutely flying up and down all those awesome chunky rocks on the ridge, and cleaning things that I never had. So, so fun. Even the meandering trails in the woods were fun on boost. I’ll ride the regular bike Saturday to compare, but it was total giggles for 24 miles.
FWIW, I didn’t see a single rider in 24 miles on the single track. Which is nutz for a beautiful fall day in a pretty major metropolitan region.Last edited by rideit; 11-23-2022 at 06:53 PM.

That was the year I got my first ‘real’ mtb (heh), one of these bad boys.
Rigid As Fuck.
Brakes? What are they?

Hard to follow that up, but not winter quite yet in PA.
Few rides while kiddos were off school this week
Got a break from our freeze thaw and before all afternoon of rain.good skinny that’s getting harder as it’s started leaning a bit
Old quarry with a trail along that ridge, with some steep sections dropping down, like last pic

To be honest, I wasn’t riding, because I’m injured. But I did shuttle some friends up Sand Flats and noticed this new sign on the way back down. Thanks Remy.

Damn, I had that on my tick list and now I can't get the send as I'm a law abiding citizen.

Go forth and ride, then bring back pics
Context: this line is in Sand Flats Recreation Area…arguably one of the most heavily used BLM areas in the country. Camping, MTB, hiking, BASE jumping and every kind of off-road motorized use you could possibly imagine occurs there. It’s also happens to be a fragile desert environment. 30 years ago it was an absolute free for all and the desert was getting trashed so the BLM partnered with Grand County to manage the area: establish trail and travel routes, close a shitload of social trails and routes, build campgrounds, dig shitters and put dumpsters in the Slickrock Lot. The quality of the experience up there increased significantly and the desert remains in incredibly good shape considering the traffic and usage.
Management of this area has always been a challenge. With the amount of use that the entire Moab zone gets,locals and land managers have figured out how to get along and have built a shitload of great singletrack in the last 15 years. Are there still unsanctioned trails and routes being ridden? Yep, but people are smart enough to keep them low key.
The drama about Remy is not so much that he rode it, as noted, lots of people have ridden it…(including Cody Kelly’s dad.)it’s that his job is literally to ride hard shit and broadcast it to his 561k IG followers. That video has over 2million likes. A bunch of followers now want to add this to the tick list on their next trip to Moab…and hey there’s about a million other slickrock fins out there that nobody has put on IG yet… maybe I’ll go viral and get spansered if I ride one, my bros got a sweet drone. It’s just a bunch of sand and rock. Multiply that by even a hundred riders and you’ve got a fucking mess out there.
The BLM is drawing a bright line on this one because of Remy’s reach and the obvious influence he has on what and where people ride.
Read the comments in Remy’s post..the replies to the MMBA’s comment make me embarrassed to be a Mtn biker. Buncha entitled dumbfuck mouth breathers.
It’s just plain disrespectful of the work that’s been done by trail builders, shop folks, guides, shuttle drivers - essentially the whole bike community in Moab and the relationship they’ve built with the BLM. Go out to Bartlett Wash for a slickrock free for all, there’s bigger, scarier lines out there anyhow.
