    Thanks WoodsChick .

    I really hope we are not too early to hit the 5MOH, I have been wanting to do it for years! But don't really want to do it with snow on the ground.

    We left the trials bikes at home, only two of us have them so we didn't want to be trials snobs.

    Photo uploads are really slow from the road, but it is helping pass the time.

    Make sure and hit the Sovereign Trail single track too. Also, run porcupine rim all the way through to under the highway. Need at least 2 of you to drop the bikes down a 12 foot ledge though.

    Which bikes did you bring? Lightweight 2-strokes are the bomb on that trail. Seems like 4-strokes tend to heat up due to all the slow-going.
    And yeah, it might be a little early yet. The earliest I've been there is mid-April and it was hot. The following year in May we got a dusting of snow the night before so who knows...:excuseme:

    HELP ME! I am trapped here with computer geeks. Fun stuff surfing and stuff while on the road. Almost to Boise from Portland. Only 715 miles to go... ETA 1:40 am.

    Brought the 125 with PWK, should be fun. Never rode there before and has been on the list for years. Meeting Walt and crew, good times.

    We're staying in Moab but riding wherever Walt takes us. I think it's still up in the air, he has a few ideas depending on how the weather turns out.
