    Friday riding in Loma.
    Saturday probably do the whole slickrock trail loop since it’s been 10 years and I may camp in Sand Flats the night before.
    Sunday - amasa back area.
    Monday - maybe Moab brand trails before heading back home.

    You’ve got my number, let me know.

    Make sure you line all the dents back up when you weld it back together. :p You still have a KTM? Seems like Moab is hella fun with two wheels and a motor between your legs, wasn't sure if you ever rode it out there?

    If you never get used to a RTT you never have to feel the shame of going back to the ground. It's the strategy I have been using, totally by choice. :anonymous:

    OK smart ass. :brianr:

    You going to finally come wheeling again this year?

    It wasn't last year....



    ....only because it wasn't driven. :pout:

    Yeah, the passenger side is going to be a bit of a mess. We'll see how it turns out. At least I cut out most of one of the dents. :cookiemonster:


    Yes, still have the 150 XC-W, and I have ridden some singletrack out there. It's a good time

    Welding this back together is a pain. Have a bit more grinding to do still.

    I think what I need to do is smash that whole corner into a rock again, and get a new dent over the top of all the old dents. :D
