Where Eagles Dare Ride: Slickrock Bike Trail Moab
Every sport has its legendary battlefields. big wave surfers have the North Shore. Climbers have K2. And whitewater kayakers have Zambezi. If you have the courage, strength and skills, Slickrock trail in Moab, Utah is the ultimate test of dirt mountain bike.
Although Slickrock Trail measures soon in a 12 miles, inches, all the physical and mental tests. The lunar-looking landscape was formed when the interior oceans that is used to cover southeastern Utah dried up, leaving behind the sand dunes petrified Navajo sandstone. Now the name is a misnomer Slickrock real surface of the dunes has the texture of sandpaper, which gives the traction your tires have to raise much needed hairier sections of the route (the with names like Faith in drag, Baby bottom of the container and steep Creep). The name came from the region's first settlers Slickrock whose shoes clothes horse had difficulty passing through the field.
And on the subject of the land is steep. Damn pronounced. Most of the time, you will be caught in its most low gear, pedaling furiously just to overcome gravity pull down relentlessly. Therefore, you need to get fit before leaving the desert. Next Once you're riding the local routes, push yourself to meet the tougher, more pronounced and more routes, is the only way to build resistance to the conquest of Slickrock.
One of the biggest dangers of Slickrock is not the road itself, but what surrounds it. Look in any direction, and your eyes are treated visual sugary sweets to the surrounding landscape. Petrified sand dunes, stunning rock formations and beautiful streams everywhere. It is easy to become hypnotized natural beauty and stop paying attention to where you are riding. The next thing you know, you're flying over his handlebars and sliding the first cheek through the dunes side. It is very important not to get distracted, and there is a foolproof technique to improve its approach: take a trip to Manhattan in the summer and walk around the village without behold all scantily clad beauties prancing. If you can survive that challenge, Slickrock is a cake walk.
In addition to preparing your body, you also need to prepare your car for the trip. Moab You can not bring your bike, so you should be able to take your bike to Moab. Most pilots prefer to equip their vehicles with a support base. Composed by crossbars and towers that hold the scalps of his car, so a roof rack of the foundation for installing a bike carrier. In addition, you can mount an air cargo carrier to roof rack, giving it the perfect place to keep spare parts, extra inner tubes, bike tools and granola and granola enough to keep your stomach from growling.
