Ultimate Moab

We are keep­ing the trav­el easy and doing the pick­up in Grand Junc­tion. After our ear­ly morn­ing pick-up and bike fits, we will head down the road for our first ride togeth­er. This will be a per­fect way to shake our legs and warm-up while rid­ing on one of North Amer­i­ca’s favorite trail networks. 

We’ll hop in the van after an awe­some ride and enjoy the scenic and laid back shut­tle to Moab.

Once we arrive in Moab, we’ll check into lodg­ing for the week, and grab some deli­cious din­ner down­town. We will review the plan for the week over beers. Wel­come to Moab!

Wake up and fuel up, time to hit the trail. First ride today will start from the hotel. We will ride Moab Brand Trails with a warm up on the Moab Canyon Path.

The Moab Brand Trails will start gen­tle. As we climb, views of Arch­es Nation­al park will come into site. Drop back down some more tech­ni­cal lines look for the lunch spot.

In the after­noon we will make our way to the Klondike Bluffs and turn it up after we grab anoth­er stun­ning view of the wind carved arch­es from anoth­er van­tage point. Rip back down to find your shut­tle and head back into town for the beer cool­er and night on the town.

Let’s go big! The Mag 7 ride will start with a short shut­tle out of town, but we will still be earn­ing our descent. Once on bike we start with a climb on 7‑up and make our way to the high end of the Mag 7 trails. From there we will point back to town. While we will have plen­ty of dou­ble climbs, the trend is down­hill and tech­ni­cal. Great oppor­tu­ni­ty to test your bike han­dling skills.

View from the high point and point back to town will be clas­sic mesa under your wheels with the La Sal moun­tains stand­ing majes­tic the back.

You should be warn out by now, but if you are down for more rid­ing, and need to hit a clas­sic, it’s time to ped­al Slickrock.

Beer, food, rest, you know the routine.

How do you go to Moab and not run the Por­cu­pine Rim? 

Our shut­tle is going to give us a nice boost but once out of the van, we will still have a cou­ple chal­leng­ing miles of climb­ing to get to the rim. Once once top, the hard work will be reward­ed with long stun­ning views of Cas­tle Valley.

From here we will spend the rest of our ride descend­ing on the cliff edge (with plen­ty of room between the trail and the actu­al edge) rid­ing loose ter­rain all the way to the Col­orado Riv­er. We will ped­al back into town on the road and hunt down the beer cool back at lodging.

The after­noon should present a good oppor­tu­ni­ty to have a look around town before din­ner. Ready for more?

No Van. We are ped­al­ing from town and head­ing for Amasa Back, home of the infa­mous Cap­tain Ahab trail.

This AM ride will start with a chal­leng­ing climb. From our high­point, we will have a 360 views that will have us point­ing our lines we have done and will hit before the week is done. tight climb­ing lines will take us out to Pot­hole Arch before we turn around and start the wicked fun Cap­tain Ahab.

This ride is a test for every­one who rides it. There are line options of course, but you will feel accom­plished when this ride is under your belt.

Lunch back in town. You can take the after­noon off, or chose to head back up for a dif­fer­ent ver­sion of the Amasa Back

Before we go too far, we will hop on bikes and have a final ride. We will spend part of the mornign review­ing all the skill build­ing tools we have been pol­ish­ing and have a per­son­al­ized home­work plan to prep for our next tour. 

As Moab is cen­tral to many amaz­ing Nation­al Parks and Mon­u­ments, you might want to con­sid­er spend­ing a cou­ple more days explor­ing off the bike. If the office is call­ing we will head back to Grand Junc­tion for drop off.
