Slickrock Bike Trail Moab, UT

Yes I said Moab.

I went out to Moab last week to do some Jeepin' and decided to rent a full suspension Felt Virtue Two bike from Poison Spider Cycles. I was expecting some downhills but once we got to the trail I was in for a shock. Yeah it has downhills but it's so "downhill" that you have to place your ass behind the seat over the rear wheel and start praying so you do not become a bloody pile of a mess on the slickrock below. Also what goes down must come back up on the Slickrock Bike Trail which means you better be in the best shape of your life if you want it make it back up a hill or start hiking. Unfortunately for me I did fall and bruise my tail bone so I ended up hiking 50% of the trail. Another word of advice, bring water, lots and lots of water. I had the camelbak full and I still needed more water and this was only on a 70 degree day.

Now to the beers. Utah is not the greatest place to buy beer since it is all 3/2 domestic beer but you can buy microbrews with the original alcohol content. We found a liquor store that sold beer buy the bottle so I was able to mix an match. One of my favorites was Delirium Tremens from Huyghe Brewery in Melle Belgium. If it's Belgium its got to be good and high alcohol content (8.5%) . Another tasty one was the Henry Weinhard's Blonde, skip their Hefeweizen it was not as good as their Blonde. Another beer I tried was Steinlager, a New Zealand brew that tastes great so don't let the green bottle fool you.
