Bike trip into the South-Eastern Utah

OK, Here it is!!!
I am posting my trip into Canyonlands National Park, Moab, UT I did last week.
It turned out the day was to be be rainy!!! But even though we knew it, we went ahead and did go down to our destination for our Friday-Saturday adventure.

Let me tell you: It was surreal!!! It was PERFECT !!!!!!! Muddy, Windy, Cold, Wet everywhere!!, and exhaustingly beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

It rain the entire night into Saturday, and then it kept raining until noon (or so). We start our bike ride at 9 am. and kept going until 1 pm. when we decide to go back to camp 1 (where the car was waiting for us). Going uphill took us 4 hours what going down hill took us 1.5 hours.

The big pool of photographs are in my Facebook page which page's address is right here below:



I am posting some in my blog as well, so let me know what do you think about them..

UPCOMING CYCLING TRIPS

UPCOMING CYCLING TRIPS (Information):

White Rim Trail, Canyonlands(UT) : November 04th & 05th 2011:

The Plan: Going to Moab, UT and mountain bike the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park for one day. The idea is to feel the terrain first and then (most likely for Spring 2012) ride the entire trail, which could take as long as 4 days.

I know that getting down there (from where we live) for just one day of riding experience could be somehow expensive, but we don't want to plan a long bike trip and in the middle of it realize we were in bad shape! or we didn't have enough food! D' u' know what I mean?

We are traveling from our home-town on Friday afternoon and gettting into Moab early at night. After a good night sleep (most likely will be camping somewhere in the desert) we will take a proteinic breakfast (most likely a couple of energy bars and gatorade) and hit the dirt road into the White Rim Trail . . . The plans, so far, goes 'til there!. We are hoping to make it back sometime in the afternoon of that same Saturday and create a vocal report: what is additionally needed for a longer trip, how much more training do we need for the whole 4 days ride, etc. etc.

Now, this link will take you to a video of the place we want to go and ride at:

These are other links I personally like a lot:

Cycling Links you should visit

EQUIPMENT :
1.- A small back pack to carry food and equipment while riding the bike: tools, 2 tube replacements, air pump, food, water, snacks and toilet paper.
2.- Clothing: padded shorts, 1 short sleeved t-shirt, 1 long sleeved t-shirt, a rain jacket (just in case is too cold), sweatpants (just in case is too cold).
3.- Food: Enough to keep me alive for the trip.

Shoot me an email if you want more information.

Cycling in Ogden, UT

This are the XTerra games in Snowbasin, UT and the Road Speed Race in Ogden,UT (Harvest Moon Festival) this last Saturday, September 24th 2011.

I had the blessing to be part of these events and to have Lance Armstrong (a professional world-wide re-known cyclist, 6 consecutive times winner on the Tour of France among other races) as one of the celebrities I took his photograph while racing!! (as a matter of fact he is the first photograph in the blog).

I am posting some of these photographs for you to comment on.

Surfing in San Diego

This is a small group of photographs I took last month in San Diego, California, to get photographs of some surfers.
It was fun and I had a great time down there... between waves, boards and sunny days.
