Mountain Biking at Moab

”Moab is home to the greatest mountain biking on the planet”. So says the web site. Encouraged by son Mark I picked a route that did not look too challenging and transported my mountain bike (it has front shock absorbers and a seat shock absorber) on the back of the Honda Fit tow car. I managed to get on the trail by 0900 hrs but even so it was a clear summer day and by the time I had finished the ride of 3 1/2 hrs it was very hot (likely about 33 C). I had plenty of water and snacks. The mountain bike trail called “7 up” was mostly downhill but rough rocky terrain. It eventually joined the road up to the starting point.   I likely covered about 30 KM. The numbers of mountain biking routes in the area is staggering. If I was younger and had more energy I would have done more!
