Biking near Moab, UT

There is a mountain biker's mecca near Moab called Slick Rock.  There are a bunch of trails in the area, between Arches and Canyonlands Nat Parks.  The intermediate trails are tough.  It's generous to refer to the expert trails as trails at all.  They're more like poorly marked paths through rocks. 

Anyhow, both of our bikes are pretty sub par for these sorts of trails but I'd say we did pretty well all things considered.  Biked for four hours, held a good pace, not one serious fall from either of us. 

I actually had put my belt in my backpack before heading out b/c I figured I could use it to make a splint or tourniquet w/ it if necessary.
