Brian - Here is the Utah dirt bike trip

This is the guide in Moab: http://www.elitemotorcycletours.com/

Brian, I would love to have to come along. The owner of EliteTours says that he has a group of about 12 going on this trip. If you want to go then call and make sure he has a bike for you and anyone else you bring along.

I think this will be an epic ride. I have done Utah only once before but I have done Colorado for the 6 years straight.

There may still be slots open. Call them and find out.

Here is a description of the ride::

September 08’ special Three Day Point to point Moab to Gateway Colorado

This is not the regular Three day and back ride, it is ALL INCLUSIVE! Meaning you pay one price of $1111.00 (riding your bike). We take care of all the meals including the night before and night we get back to Moab. We will have the chase truck, lunches, guides and all the planning. You just need to do is get to Moab.

* Orientation and Kick off dinner at Six O’clock, Bucks Grill 1393 N. Hwy 191 in Moab. We will start from JR’s Motel in the morning. Breakfast will be served at JR’s. The bus will take the riders and their bikes to the starting aria as people finish breakfast. All arrangements have been made for the trip. We will be staying at JR’s on Saturday night when we get back.

* We leave Moab, go up into the La Sal National forest, and ride some of our private single track. Then meet the sag wagon for lunch. After lunch we head on over Carpenter ridge and into Paradox for the night. There are some spectacular views from Carpenter that over look Paradox valley.
* In the morning we hop up on to Carpenter Ridge and ride down an old wagon road that was used by the pioneers to get off Carpenter ridge to get down into Unaweep Canyon. After crossing Unaweep Canyon we take the Paradox trail up to the Uncomprege Plateau. Once on top we get to ride some of the neatest single line in the country and explore the Colorado Plateau Mining country. We finish at Gateway Colorado. Gateway Canyons resort is a five Star deal and you will really like the accommodations.
* On day three we head up John Brown Canyon and run through an old mining area. This stuff is in the middle of nowhere, and it’s just like exploring the world for the first time. Then we get into some state land in the trees, comprised of a bunch of old logging skids and hunting trails that we have put together. These trails keep you wondering where in the heck you are! These routes are way off the beaten path. We finish off the day by either going over Polar Mesa, and down Onion Creek or, going over Geyser pass and down the Sand Flats road to the Slick rock trail.

* As usual, we will have the bus and enclosed trailer following us, so you will not need to carry anything but your hydration pack and camera. Don’t worry about riding with strangers! If your buddies won’t come along, they just loose out! We will separate the skill levels and not put ANY rider somewhere he doesn’t want to be. We will split the group to give EVERYONE the ride that they are paying for. Elite has a few bikes for folks that can’t bring theirs, this is a deal mainly for guys that bring their own bike, and can ride all day for three days!
