I'm new to cycling but I'm an ancient backpacker. I'm hooked on the bike and I know touring is on its way, I just know.
I'm going to Moab for a week, road biking. I've been there backpacking and motorcycling many times. This time it will be on my Giant Defy hoping that soon after it will be on my Surly LHT.
This new 'Moab Canyon Pathway' has seriously caught my eye and I'd love to hear about it. I want to run up to La Sal Mountains via the Fisher Towers. Has anybody been? I also want to ride the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands. Feed my dreams. These will only be long day rides from a base in Arches If I don't get the LHT first but if this works well then I'm going to spend a couple weeks riding the Grand Staircase next spring. What say ye all?
