Moab 5 (2002)

For Moab V I had no job so I was able to take an extended trip, going through Berkeley, Nevada, Zion and Monument Valley. It was the first time I drove over 130mph. Ron, Trey, Vince, Tom and I rode Amasa Back, Gemini Bridges, Slickrock, Moab Rim and Monitor Merimack. I saw some freeriders the day after everyone left. They made it down Moab Rim in 2 minutes, at an average of 30mph.

Missouri

Missouri was the start of the hills after Kansas. I actually found them easier than the constant wind of Kansas.

Kansas

I thought Kansas would be easy 100 mile days because it's flat. Instead I had 40-50 mile days because of the wind. The people were really nice though.

Colorado

I rode from the backrange over Trailridge pass down to Denver and East to Kansas. Outside of Granby I stayed a few nights at a dude ranch courtesy of a fellow rider I met in Wyoming.
