Mountain biked some trails on Gooseberry Mesa today (east of Hurricane, south of Zion). i was planning to do this with my brother, but he shattered his patella in a motorcycle accident in September. So I went by myself. But I ended up having a lot of company, a trail running race was happening at the same time. I got to say good morning to a couple of hundred people as we scooted by each other on the trail (going opposite directions).
What an amazing area. Lots of technical sections of "slick rock", but slightly rougher composition from Moab sandstone. I had to dismount and walk up or down many sections, but also surprised myself by "cleaning" some pretty gnarly sections.
