Three days in Moab, Utah in October! It doesn't get much better than this. Cool crisp nights and warm days in the 70s. Great road riding in this area that is known for mountain biking, and wonderful  shops and restaurants in town. This is a fixed based ride. We will meet on Friday night to have a brief talk about the next day's riding.

Day 1, Ride to Devils Garden in Arches National Park (45 Miles) This is a magnificent out and back ride though Arches National Park (http://www.nps.gov/arch/faqs.htm). This is one of our country's most magnificent parks, with stunning rock formations and many attractions. This is a fairly strenuous ride with several steep climbs lasting a mile or more. But, it is definitely worth the effort. There is the option to do some hiking in Devils Garden.

Day 2, Ride to Dead Horse Point (64 miles) Another out and back ride to Dead Horse Point State Park (http://www.utah.com/stateparks/dead_horse.htm) is on a mesa overlooking the Colorado River 2,000 feet below. It is one of Utah's most spectacular state parks. There is the option to do some hiking along the canyon rim.

Day3, Ride to the Moab Potash Plant (39 miles) This is yet another out and back ride. It is a beautiful ride along the Colorado River. It is fairly flat with one small rise each way. It should be possible to do this ride and still get back in time to take showers and checkout of our rooms by noon.
