SLICKROCK TRAIL: People come from all over to try the world famous Slickrock Trail. It's smooth and

April 2008
The afternoon was cool and sunny but Desert sand flow on the air and little Sand devils
will pop up here and there as well as sudden 40 miles per hour gust of sandy wind.
Aside from the weather and the Sand this trail was smooth and fast. The Bridge/Arch
itself is very impressive

Moab,Utah--The TRUE MECCA of Mountain biking in the World. For 4 days We rode the rocky,sandy slickly trails, climbed the
mesas and the rocks, jump the ledges and drops and amazed ourselves with the Beauty. We were bless with great weather- highs
of 70's and lows of 40's, and also blessed with our house, located in Moab heart ...And most of all we were blessed with a good
group of strong friends.
Here are the pictures of our trails.
