You’ve heard it all before. Moab is America’s premier summer mountain bike destination. But why? Because Moab encompasses the best of all worlds. If you’re an urban road rider who sticks to slicks, you won’t have to change your tires for the infamous Slickrock. If you come for the scenery and want to hike as much as you ride, it’s second to none. If you want to sweat out all the evils you’ve been compiling, the dry desert will squeeze you like a sponge.

If you really like to get scared, there are trails with nice, several-hundred-foot exposures. The Poison Spider trail has seen its share of fatalities. So, if you’re like me, you’ll be scared enough to walk it. No big whoop. The exposure isn’t why humans on wheels flock here. Nor do people come for long climbs or descents. It’s the fossilized Navajo Sandstone that forms a labyrinth of canyons, caves and depressions that makes Moab so attractive. Add to this a lifetime of stone pile trails, two amazing National Parks, a dusty little town with plenty of campsites and motels, all sitting in the middle of the Utah desert, and you have the Mecca that is Moab.

I will bike in Moab, oh yes, I will bike in Moab. And if anyone wants to pay for me to go I won’t say no.
