Steve,
Had chance to catch up on DL recently and thought I would drop you a quick line of thanks and gratitude for providing such a positive contribution to our planet! Congratulations to you and Joy on the great news of pregnancy, my instincts tell me this will be one very lucky child!
In April I will be heading to Moab April 14th - 18th with my two sons for some mountain biking and hang time with the dad. Not sure if you are familiar with the area, if so, would you be open to offering some local knowledge? Not necessarily mountain biking, perhaps some off the bike activities in the area a guide book might not offer? Anything you might have to offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Brother!
Sammy
FROM COACH's RESPONSE IN TODAY's DL:
"...before Moab became known as the mountain biking mecca that it is today, i was climbing traditional and mind numbingly scary rock climbing routes on those amazing desert spires that you will see as you cross through Monument Valley. we would recover in Moab, then just a town with a Laundromat and a few curio shops. NOT NO MO!!! with such great rides as Poison Spider Mesa (do NOT attempt alone!), Behind The Rocks (can you say, GONZO!!?!), Hells Revenge (can you say, FRIGGIN' A DOUBLE GONZO!!!!!!!!!), and of course, the world's most popular MTB route; The Slickrock Trail (Note; the PRACTICE LOOP does NOT mean; Beginner Loop!), Moab has stolen the show from the climbers and is pumped full of bike rack toting MTB's from all parts of the country on any given day.
be sure to..."
LET COACH, an outdoor athlete veteran of Moab, steer you to secret places OFF the MAPS!
