Thanksgiving, Moab 11/23

We didn't get to do much riding in November - this was due to the fact we moved apartments. My job changed offices from Boulder to Broomfield so rather than commute we moved into a new apartment in Interlocken. The move ate up a lot of the weekends in November.

So because of that we were really looking forward to the thanksgiving weekend to be able to head over to Moab. Unfortunately there was nasty weather on the Wed night so we opted to drive over on Thursday which ended up being a really good idea with I-70 closing down for a while during the night.

On Friday we woke up at camp to a layer of snow over everything. It snowed much of the night.

I was very torn as Moab under a layer of snow could be incredibly pretty and it would make the riding "interesting". However it was also likely that the riding might just be less than enjoyable. We decided to pack up camp and drive down to St George, Utah and check out Gooseberry Mesa since we had long wanted to do that ride and this seemed a perfect chance.

The drive was not bad at all and I only got one speeding ticket.
