I am sorry I missed it, but I did have my own adventure around the same time to prevent an impending existential crisis. I rode my motorcycle (2010 Triumph Street Triple R) 2300 miles round trip from Morrison, CO to Santa Barbara, CA, and hung out with an old friend from high school (who now is a rising star in voice acting in LA) for a few days.

I haven't been to Moab since my last mountain biking/off-roading (in a lifted Toyota pickup lol) trip there probably 12 years ago. I will do everything in my power to be there in 2013! I need to meet all you awesome folks and take my VX on those perfect trails!
Jo I am sorry the Whore didn't make it, but glad you decided to go anyway. My trip was a real eye opening mood lifter, so I hope the Moab trip was for all of you. A big part of any good journey is making the decision to go.
If any Colorado folks want to tackle a trail this summer, just PM me. I don't usually have a lot going on on the weekends. Let's do it!
