15 day trek

So Im going to be flying into SFO on the 28th June.

I leave on the 15th July

Thats 15 days of riding. We have a car, and are not afraid
to travel. Right now Im thinking, heading north from SFO
to Sacramento/Lake Tahoe for a few days, then onto Salt
Lake City, then down to Moab then heading back to SFO
through Utah hitting some spots.

Anyone got any must have trails? I have seen Pete's site
and have taken note.

Boise's not too far from SLC - AMB-ID is the weekend of the
31/1. We meet 2 hours N of Boise. Jim and Carla will be
there, Me, Paladin and who knows who else... Think you can
make it? Moab/Utah going to be HOTHOTHOT that time of year.

We did Arches and Canyonlands in late July a few years
back, and you are so right. When it's 105 in the shade, you
sure as hell don't want to be out on the slickrock, I
promise. We went up to Delicate Arch as the sun was going
down, and the rock that had been in the sun all day was so
hot I could feel it through my hiking boots. During the
week we went to Zion, Bryce, Arches and Canyonlands, I
don't think it ever got below 85 at any time of the day or
night. Hell, we spent one whole day in Zion just playing in
the Virgin River! Hiking or even being in the sun was out
for these NW natives!

Great thing was, very little of the crowds I have heard
about. The Zion campground by the Watchman was only about
1/3 full. It was brutal-hot, and I wouldn't have wanted to
try and bike through that. Even Bryce was pretty damn hot,
and it's getting up in the 10,000-foot range for elevation.
(A little less, IIRC.) Cedar Breaks was comfortable,
however. LOL.

Just a nice ride in the woods near McCall, ID. Easy stuff -
a twelve-year-old girl on a mixte dept. store bike could do
it. :evil grin: Ohh, wait - she *did* do it. That bike was
pink, wasn't it? (JD, Gman - help me out here.)

Seriously, if you are in shape for a 15-day MTBing trip, you
can hack this really friendly group ride.

Sounds like the dates won't work, but if you can swing it,
you're certainly welcome up here. However, I know some
riders from SLC and could probably dial you into the high-
country goods so you wouldn't burn to a crisp.

Our plan is to ride early and late, and loaf indoors or in-
water during the heat of the day. We'll be riding at betw 5k
& 10k feet that cools things down a tad, too.

According to JD, that's just about how long a Trek
will last! 🙂

Love my Fuel dammit!
