Now see here, stro....you're gonna have to do better than that...LOL!

What locations did you guys ride? Did you camp or have accomodations? Was anyone killed? Did you go to any good topless bars in Moab? We want details!

hehe trying to slip under the radar tnc, sorri.Camped at monitor merrimack (courthouse rock) I think. rode 7 mile rim, m&m ..rode most of the trails on that side. Also soveriegn trail and area, white rim ( few slow mow sand lay downs), arches, lasalle mnt loop, slick rock, fins and things, pritchard canyon (crashed broke bars), moab rim trail (gave up eventually as ledges were inviting me to break more stuff.
Getting to hot for a northern canadain boy this time of year!! drank allot of beer!!
On the way back rode the crazy *** S Fork Salmon trail (worth doing once but high risk).
not me but gives the nutyness of it all, plus we were there in high water so if you fell youd be dead!!

No kidding on Pritchett Canyon difficulty. Somehow when I was younger I rode through the whole trail on an '85 KLR600 in 1986. I couldn't, wouldn't do it now. Plus, I think 4WD vehicles have "roughed up" that trail more over the years.

Oh man!...Moab Rim. I've ridden down it on a big, long travel MTB, but I've only gone up a few steps in past years on a motorcycle to see what it was like. Well...I saw that it was pretty darned tough. Can you believe they have, or did have, a 4WD race up and then down that spot every year at the Easter Safari?

How did you like Sovereign?

sovereign was great, a few tricky spots but not bad if you kept you line.Heard they are building some single track out by Lasalle mnts (sorta woods type riding) would be a great addition to the area to mix things up.

I love Moab. But I've always done it on quads. I'd do it on my KLX but none of the "tough" trails. And man would elbow and knee pads be mandatory!!!
