All these years, all the riding I've ever done in Utah were nothing short of just pure gnar shuttle DH stuff -Flying Monkey, Virgin/Saint George territory, Grafton, etc. I wanted to diversify.

My wife and a reliable road trip buddy of ours changed our Bootleg plans and headed to Gooseberry Mesa. We rode the standard South Rim to The Point but mixed in Hidden Canyon and North Rim. So awesome. So much stuff to play on everywhere that I would need a full day with strong riders to cover the network here. I LOVE UTAH.. Moab, St. George, etc..

Bear with my lazy edits..

With a couple more hours of daylight left, I begged my wife to shuttle me at Jem Trail. I've been invited to ride here a few times before but they all wanted to climb UP it from Gould. That doesn't seem like fun for me based on the elevation profile. Riding (read -you will still need to pedal A LOT) down it was so fun even for a first time run. Must ride here again......

I'm so effing sore in muscles never registered in the pain scale before but I can't wait to ride my bike again.

Get stoked...
