IMBA urges mountain bikers to help preserve some of Moab’s most famous trails. A new Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plan would lease land parcels for oil and gas extraction near iconic trails such as Porcupine Rim, Amasa Back, Barlett Wash and Tusher Canyon, turning sections of trail into heavily used access roads. IMBA respects the need for domestic energy production, but believes Moab is better served by protecting its world-class recreational assets.

One of Moab’s best single track rides this one has become the favorite Moab ride for some dhReno riders!
The trail winds up and down on some awesome technical single track. There are lots of different ride options too.

Dino tracks, awesome scenery, hurricane force winds and a good old Sahara style sand storm made this one a ride to remember!

We arrived in Moab Sunday afternoon and after we set up camp at the Canyonlands RV Park (right in town) we immediately took off for Amasa Back (or Cliff Hanger as some people call it).
Matt Robison tackles the steady climb up to some awesome views.

The new Rockshox Totem fork, that we pounded at the Interbike Outdoor Demo, was definately the fork that generated the most buzz with dhReno riders. The Totem is an awesome 180mm travel, 40mm stanchions, single crown fork that is available in either air, coil or 2 step with a 1 1/8″ or 1.5″ steer tube. This fork is better than most of the downhill forks from a couple of years ago and it comes in at around 6 lbs!
The Boxxer WC is another fork that continues to impress and is probably the best DH fork currently available.
The Code Brakes are hot and our riders are very interested in them – I’m sure that they’ll be showing up on local dh and fr bikes soon!
Here are some great photos and commentary (from this year’s SRAM preview in Moab) on the new components:
