We popped into a local bike store to find a guide or a map. The second store we wandered into was Mountain Bike Heaven and the guy in the store was amazingly helpful suggest a nice link of of trails that we could ride to straight out of the store.
As soon as we hit dirt we realized that the riding out here was going to be fun. The trails were single track with rock everywhere but not loose rock. It was also very scenic. We started by heading up to Teacup and then on the advice from the store took a turn of the main trail and headed higher with the plan to be to drop down some gullies and rejoin the trail.
The trail section going down the gully was excellent with a few steep rollers and nice flow in between.
Still in the gully area.
We exited the gully soon after this and re-joined Teacup. The first section of Teacup we rejoined was fast smooth riding with some great corners.
It then started to climb across some more exposed slick rock and the riding was now fun, more technical riding where strength and body english were both needed.
Oh, and you had some decent views as well.
This is near the end, but there was a bunch of great riding before this as we had climbed up a jeep road to pick up some single track on a trail called Soldiers Pass. After this sink hole we decided to try and join across to another area called "The Secret Trails" - there was some great riding, but mostly we just got lost in the area until we popped out near the main road. At that point we road up a creek bed that the locals call Second Coming. It seemed that the creek bed would be blast coming down it and large sections of it were fun to ride up, but it was pretty technical and we pushed a fair bit it.

Hello Sean,
Just surprised your blog stoped on January this year, any problem? I never sent you a message, but is one of the best MTB blogs I found.

No problems at all. I just fell out of the habit of keeping it up to date because we just have been so busy riding this year. I got lazy and just started updating Facebook instead mainly because the number of photos we were taking dropped as we spent most of the year on downhill bikes instead of trail bikes. Lifts stop running this weekend and we get back on small bikes soon.
Great, you know I start following your blog because of the MOAB, but then also I realize abaut you Ibis Mojo...I have a Green Pesto one...so, I feel your blog was womething special.
