mud hole. Well, I was the only
one to manage to lay the bike
over there while trying to get
through (ha-ha)! It was nothing
major, no damage to the bike or
me, but made for some good
fun for the crew to talk about.
When we got to the top of the
pass, it was a stunning view,
and it was also HOT. We stayed
up there until it was almost five
o'clock, and we were cooked. It
was a long day, mostly because
the heat made it feel harder
than it was, but still a lot of fun!
From there, we made our way
back into Moab, where we had
a house lined up; it was nice for
all of us to be in one house. We
unpacked, unwound, cleaned up,
and went to dinner in town.

The next day started out the
same. I had a quick run followed
by a coffee stop at a local spot
within walking distance from
our house. We got a chance to
break out the Boxo tool kit to
make some adjustments on
the bikes and give everything
a once-over since the bikes
were brand new, checking to
make sure everything was tight.
We left, and we went straight
to Slickrock Trail. Slickrock is
world-famous for its terrain and
trails, ranging in difficulty for all
skill levels. Nevertheless, we
took our Tigers there. This was
on the punch list for the day, and
Simon wanted to be sure that
we were there in time for when
