- The Land Northward (Bountiful), Utah
On a bike!
I drove down Friday morning.
After a late start fooling around with my street legal bike stuff, I stopped for lunch with Paul in Price.
Awesome food, mushroom burger and clam chowder at Grogg's. Good company too. I like that town.
Rolling into Moab about 3pm and after some confusion from Jeeper, I rode up from the Gemini Bridges parking lot on the North end of town trying to catch him and his crew,
I never found them and ended up riding Metal Masher by myself.
I did it in 1 hour flat. I've got some decent video once I find my GoPro.
Then I rode over to Gemini Bridges and did the hike down to the bridges. I was surprised at all the work the Moab Friends for Four Wheeling have done with the parking areas.
I heard from some tourists that they had seen a group matching my description, so I hoped back on the bike to catch them.
About 100 yards back on the trail I went for the front brake and..... nothing!
Somehow the bottom caliper bolt on the front brake had wobbled out and allowed the caliper to pivot up off the rotor.
So with a pocket knife, I pried the brake pads apart and slid the caliper back over the rotor and secured it with a zip tie in the bottom bolt hole.
So I wasn't able to catch them while riding with no front brake.
My favorite formation and good luck charm: Goonie Bird Rock
