So Betsy, Betsy's sister Jen, her friend Erika, and myself spent 3 days in Moab, UT mountain biking the week of Thanksgiving. It was a blast. Sometimes after being away from mountain biking we forget how much we love it. This was a good reminder of how much fun we have doing it. Betsy and I are also very lucky that we both enjoy it so much.
This is the beginning of the Porcupine rim trail. It apparently is a 15.6 mile trail the way we rode it. It is really one of the very best mountain biking trails. It was awesome. I should put a plug in for Jen. She did a great job, and got the most improved biker award of the trip.

Betsy riding a rough spot. Unfortunately pictures didn't really capture the degree of some of the stuff we were riding so you'll just have to take our word for it. Believe it or not, a couple of years ago we saw a 1 legged man (without a prosthetic) riding the trail. We have no idea how, but we never saw him again after he rode by us!!
Just one of the many fantastic views on the trail. In the background behind those red rocks is the Colorado river.
