6 days of Moab

6 Days of Moab

First Annual Roulette Ride by: Kevin Glassett

 Another Great Adventure Trip.  6 guys- Myself, Dan G, Damon B, Frank S, Dale M and Tom T rode 6 days of adventures around Moab.  Check out the ride agenda and the pictures below. Ride it your self with this agenda and the GPS file below. Then email me and let me know how it was for you.

 Wednesday 9/15/2004: Leave Riverside 8:00, Lunch in Mesquite at “New York Burrito” http://www.newyorkburrito.com/  Arrive Moab at 7:00pm Dinner at Miguel’s Baja Grill and a riders meeting, Stay at River Canyon Lodge: http://www.rivercanyonlodge.com/

Thursday 9/16/2004:   Ride:PoisonSpider, GoldenSpike, GoldBar, Gemini Bridges, Snack Lunch and Gas at: ArchView Resort RV Camp: http://www.archviewresort.com/ ,  Afternoon ride: Sovereign Trail, Dinner at:  Dinner Zax’s Wood Fired Pizza: http://www.moab-utah.com/zax/

Friday 9/17/2004:  This is the long day, The idea here is that we split into two groups.  Group A will ride the Trail to the South Canyonlands (65miles, 3 hours), while Group B will take a Truck to the same area.  Then Both Groups will ride the “Elephant Hill and Colorado Overlook” trail (35miles, 2hours). Then we will all have lunch at the “Needles Outpost”. Then Group B will take the Trail back to the North Canyonlands, while Group A returns in the truck.  A few riders may elect to ride both ways but that would be a very very long ride.  This plan will require an early start (7:30am).  We will need at least two volunteers to drive the truck.
