Royal Jelly?
April 11th, 2010I just finished up three days of riding in Moab with my wife and am now heading to Vegas to instruct an AMGA Rock Guides’ Course: sunny, warm rock climbing and, perhaps a bit more riding on the Cowboy Trails near Red Rocks.
In Moab, I was able to ride the Slickrock, Porcupine Rim and Svereign trails, all considered area classics. Though I have yet to do Amasa Back, I have to say that what I’ve experienced of the mountain biking in Moab is way over-rated. The scenery, however, is not and that is the main reason to go duke it out amongst legions of other bikers, jokers, motorcyclists and jeepers on the (scenery withstanding) miles of mediocrity.
I’ll still put Gooseberry & Little Creek at the top of the list for high quality riding in the beehive state.
Totally agree with you on Moab. Not much single track at all. Went out and rode the West Rim in Rabbit Valley. Not bad, but still some atvr’s etc. Let me know what you find in Vegas. I will be out there all summer working on a helicopter so I will be biking and climbing a lot as well.

The Cowboy Trails near Red Rocks are rad! Bootleg Vanyon near Boulder City is full tilt boogie, too.
Vince – agree on the Moab thing – I hear they have some new trails up in the La Sals – i’m thinking Abajos for camping and riding next.
