Christmas vacation in Moab, the best I have ever had!! (please dont tell my mom! :)
It was dreary as hell in Seattle and the forecast was that there would be a new record of 23 days of rain in a row... and we were going to stay home... fortunately Yumay could not take it and wanted to go away for Christmas so I just looked on the map and decided on Moab... man what a lucky punch.
After a loooong drive (20h in 2 days) we got there fresh and ready to rumble! Slickrock was on the menu and we were hungry and devoured the trails up there.. it was sunny and we were on vacation and got a sweet deal on a hotel and things were looking up... three days of riding and two days of running/hiking really made a difference on our tortured phyche... almost made us forget that when we return to Seattle we would once again have to deal with the rain... but Moab was one for the books.... check out the pics, they should say it all... Porcupine Rim was the best ride when we were down there, just blew us away, just a bit of snow at the top and the rest was in great condition... and since it was Christmas there were virtually no other bikers and hikers...
