Day 7: Slickrock, Gemini Bridges & Long Canyon
Headed to the famous Slickrock Trail (with rental bike) and played on the practice loop. It is aerobically challenging, to say the least. Abandoned plans to do Fins & Things in part due to bike shop recommendation (sandy). Instead, did Gemini Bridges where the attraction is a place with two side-by-side arches you can walk on. Lots of great views. Then did a second shuttled ride down Long...

Day 6: Bartlett Wash & Hidden Canyon
We went out to the rock playground at Bartlett Wash, and rode around in the bowls and smooth rockforms. Then we went to a nearby trailhead to ride up to an overlook of Hidden Canyon. More great rock, some steep stuff, and some crazy offroaders. Everything was going great until I hit a crack funny and blew my front wheel out. Nothing broken but the rim and tube though. Tomorrow: Slickrock Trail and...
Day 5: Porcupine Rim, Moab
Today I rented a long-travel bike and got shuttled to the top of the ride (actually part of the Kokopelli Trail) at about 8300 feet. The downhill was great - Kokopelli Trail to the upper and lower singletrack sections of Porcupine along the rim itself, then some Jeep trails with lots of drops as it left the edge, and finally some rocky singletrack along the walls over the Colorado River. All told...
