Moab early season 11 hour ride

Normally we would be doing the traditional White Rim in a Day ride but since Mineral bottom was closed from the big mud slide in the fall we decided just to do a big loop that Jeff put together.

 

Quick breakfast and some extremely thick coffee complements of Jeff.  I still can't get the smell out of my mug!

 

 Great early morning riding on the Sovereign trail

 

Sunrise, Cold!

 

Lunch, cold McDonalds cheeseburgers and a Nutella taco after 7-mile trail

 

Should we do that extra 2 1/2 hour loop on metal masher? Yep! 

Turned out great except when Jeff Hemperley ripped his tire on a wicked rock drop and face planted on the next ledge.  Luckily he was okay!  Since singlespeed endurance racers don't have much of a brain anyway we were not concerned about his head. 

  

The "Widow maker", unfortunately nobody got a picture of me huckin it.

Kiv and myself when the weather finally warmed up to 50.  Kiviok gets credit for almost all the pictures.

Great day!
