We had such a great trip this past weekend!  Thanks to Timp Cyclery for organizing it, and to everyone that participated.  This year we went to ride the amazing trials in around St George and Hurricane Utah.  We had a great turn out (I think we counted 18 riders).  Ryan found a sweet hotel for us to crash in Hurricane.

 

We all met in the parking lot early to caravan to Gooseberry Mesa outside of Hurricane.  The road was a bit rutted out so we left the trailer at the hotel. 

At the trail head, we took some time to air up the tires, adjust some bikes, and gather our stuff. 

 

There were several ride leaders that set a good pace for our large (17 riders and 1 crazy runner) group.

We spent some time at the over look enjoying the view and the conversation. 

I love the views in this area. 

We rode out to the point of the mesa and the views just kept getting better.

This is a great trail to ride because there is stuff for all skill levels.  If you want to get crazy like Scott you can, or if you would rather keep it simple you can.  Everyone did great, and I think we all had a lot of fun, even with all the bumps and scrapes. 

 

 

 

After some lunch, and a quick change into some clean clothes, we headed down to St George for our second ride.  We split into 2 groups, one of which rode Zen, and the other did the race course(I think).  The group I went with rode Zen so I dont have any pictures of the other group.

We had a “nature calls” pause here so I took a quick picture of everyone waiting

 As always thanks to Timp Cyclery for making this trip happen.  They put in a lot of time and sacrafice for it.  It was a great time.  Also thanks to everyone that came and enjoyed the company.  Its is a fun group to ride with.  Im already looking forward to next years trip.  But until then, join us every week for a ride around here.  Be sure to check the blog each week to see where we are meeting.  If you would like any of the pictures, let me know.  See yall on the trails.
