    we don't use gps for local trails since we're already familiar.

    i hope someone has one on track mode and will chime in.



    d, yeah, it has a pretty hefty tag, otherwise i don't have to sit on the fence.

    local riding is still great, however now and then it will be nice to add some distant flavor.

    rmar silverton is a good one and already happy i've done it. this year my sights are on oregon and northern nevada.

    let's do bishop/mammoth in august...and moab this year.

    Mammoth sounds great. Iv been known to make day trips up there to ski and snow board. I even made an epic mountain bike trip up there. 5 days of pure downhill gold.

    This weekend I coached and rode motorcycle support at Ironman St George. Now exploring some big bike stuff on my way to Moab for two days of mtn biking.

    Yesterday was ~270 miles, as StGeorge, Trumbull Schoolhouse, Torroweap, Fredonia, Kanab, Johnson Canyon to Skatumsomething road to Cannonville, then Hwy 12 to Escalante.

    Today = easy AM mtn bike ride then more dirt to Moab.

    Yesterday was a 2hr mtn bike ride outside Escalante in Cedar Wash, then monkey fucking a bolt on the bike rack for the better part of an hour. Left Escalante at the crack of 12:30p.

    Here is the gps tracks I recorded up til I got a flat and went into survival mode and didn't record the rest but the rest was just to the Rock Inn and Poppy Field pretty straight forward.

    Are those Wolfman 12 bags? Like em?
    How is the riding weather now in Utah? Too hot? Any idea how hot it gets in early June?
