May 4th - Porcupine

We had always planned on doing Porcupine on Sunday morning before driving back to Denver and riding UPS and Kokopelli on Saturday just motivated us even more to still do since they had been so much fun.

This time we parked the car in the Negro Bill parking lot at the end of the ride and then rode into town to find a shuttle to take us to the Kokopelli drop point on the La Sals Rd.

Hardly any photos as it is just to much fun to keep riding rather than stop for pictures.

Second time around Kokopelli and UPS were even more fun as we knew what was coming around the blind corners and as you dropped down the steep sections. This was also my 3rd time on Porcupine in the past month so had started to learn the lines I could hit at speed. So even though we were both tired from the previous day's jaunt we both had silly smiles on our faces all the way.


We were getting really tired by the time we got to the single track at the end of the ride so the camera started to come out finally.


Moab had good single track.


and pretty scenery


At the end of the ride we were totally wrecked and worn out. I was sore for a couple of days after but it was one of those weekends you dream about when it comes to mountain bike riding. A double dip of pretty much the best mountain biking that Moab has to offer!
