Started at Ten mile and ended up in Moab, here are a few pics, and video will follow.










Took the KLX650r to places it did not really belong, should have taken a more dirt oriented bike that was at least 50lbs lighter.
I was worn out! The guys I went with had been there many times, and this was my first attempt at Moab.

They were riding, Husaberg 570, KTM 450, KTM 400, and a CRF450x.
any bike bigger than the 650 would probably still be out there as a permanent part of the trails, lesson learned.
Still was a great time, and am looking forward to a return, but with a lighter bike.

nic pics, thanks for sharing

Cool pics. Isn't Moab top notch! Love that place and i want to go back.

I am headed down there April 10-15. Where did you go exactly? I need some ideas as I have only been in the general area twice.

On my list of must go places. Thanks for the pics.

Do you know of some good places to ride? We will have a XR600R, KLX650, RMZ400, CR125R, and we all are up for anything!

I would love to have the answers, but I was invited and it was my first time, so I dont know the names of the trails.

If you are up for technical riding that will test your ability, try Pritchet Canyon.  If you want scenic, Poison Spyder Mesa carried out to the overlook.  If you want slickrock, then Hell's Revenge and Slickrock Trail are a must.

inthedirtagain said it right wih 'Hell's Revenge' and 'Slickrock Bike Trail' are a MUST! you can do 'Fins and Things' as well as these 3 trails are all very close and should take 2 - 3 hours to ride all of them.  (Note you will need to pay a fee to get into Sand Flats Rec Area). as for 'Pritchet Canyon' it is one of the most difficult trails in Moab and unless you are very good at handling your big 650 I would steer away from it. A good trail to try before Poison Spyder Mesa is '7 Mile Rim', it is on the lower difficulty rating and will give you a good warm up before Poison Spyder. 'Behind The Rocks' is a fun area with a bit of everything. I did 'Kane Creek' Last Fall and it was a fun ride, lots of water and sand (you will get wet as you cross the stream over 50 times!).

The biggest thing is get a Book/map and know how to work your GPS! I find most of the trails difficult to follow and you can easily get off the trail and end up going down some side trail that is not on the map or marked.

Have a good time Moab is like no other place you have ever ridden. I will be there May 2012 (my 5th trip in 2 years).

Here's some more cool places to check out, visited by a couple of mudrunners from SE Ohio.  Made a quick stop to ride BLM lands outside Eagle,CO on the way out and BLM lands outside Wolcott,CO on the way home with five days of Moab in between.
