Gooseberry Mesa Trail Review

Monday April 30, 2012

Located at 5,200 feet, Gooseberry Mesa is an ideal spot to mountain bike in any season. The technical trail keeps riders of every ability on their toes with its mix of easy, intermediate and difficult trails.

I recently spent some time riding the Mesa and have nothing but praise for the trail system. Whether or not you are local to the area, this first-class ride should be on every mountain biker's short list.

Read my full review here--and then make plans to ride it for yourself.

Hurricane Cliffs Trail Network Review

Monday April 30, 2012

I spent a week in Southwest Utah recently. A mecca for mountain bikers, I didn't abandon my saddle a single day I was in town.

During my visit, I had the pleasure of riding an International Mountain Bicycling Association designated "Epic" trail: the Hurricane Cliffs Trail Network. Fast and flowy, this was a ride I never wanted to end. And at 21 miles long, it almost didn't! Yep, it's a long one, but well worth the time in the scorching desert sun for quality time on your saddle.

Check out the full review here. And read more reviews on IMBA Epic Trails.
