More Adventure Anyone?

Well its officially June 1 and this outstanding month of adventure has finally come to an end. It has been a month of unparalleled debauchery, friendship, and extreme exploits. When I look back at May, which this blog contains some of the best points of, I can only smirk at the true and utter excellence that all of our friends come together and inspire. On that note I wanted to share with you some of the end notes to my month of May. Obviously the highlight was the wedding....which will without a doubt be covered in due time, but shortly thereafter I ventured westward and rode the desert for a few days with some of my lifelong friends from Vail, Rob, Hansen, and Gotty.

We started by riding about 15 Miles in Fruita, CO on the Kokopelli trail. It was a really great ride along the Colorado River and had plenty of highlights. I had just purchased my mountain bike and we were all getting the feel of getting out of ski boots and into bike shoes, so it was a prefect first ride. We then rolled through Utah and set up camp outside Dewey,UT. We had our own private slickrock course, river access, and a steak and potatoes dinner, pretty nice if you ask me. The only drawback was the epic sandstorm that tried its best to unleash fury on us, to no avail. We then cruised into moab proper and went into the Salt Flats rec area. The ensuing ride on the Slickrock course was really amazing. It took some serious gusto to get up some of those inclines and balls of steel to rally down the faces of that red sandstone, but it was a really amazing time with all those guys. We finished off the trip with a 12 mi ride on the Sovereign Trail a few miles north of Moab on the border of Arches NP. They were all spectacular rides and have inspired me to really put something behind this mountain biking thing. Needless to say it was an amazing adventure and I will continue to make sure that experiences like these never run out. I love all you guys and I hope the month of June only escalates our lives even further, its all FTB.
