Moab: Visual Aids

Written by  //  November 10, 2009  //  Bike, Moab, Photos  //  2 Comments

Although I may have sounded down on Moab in my previous post, I find it difficult to retain any sort of lingering melancholy that I (inexplicably) felt in the wake of what was by all accounts, a fantastic weekend. I think my larger point was that in spite of countless riding days in Moab, and despite having ridden everything I did over the weekend before, that Moab still delivered. Which is testament to not only how truly wonderful a place it is, but also a credit to the people I rode with. As I said before, riding with good friends and in a beautiful world is always worth the effort. And in case you need further evidence, let me present exhibits A-D:

Exhibit A: Sunset on Slickrock:

Exhibit B: Keith mid dab on a harder-than-it-looks ledge on Amasa Back:

Exhibit C: Dan and his socks on Porcupine Rim:

Exhibit D: K.C. cleans that climb on the Slickrock Trail (you know the one):

And, just for good measure I thought I’d present visual proof -indisputable and irrefutable – that Chris Holley is indeed mortal:
