Utah's Other Mountain Biking Mecca.

Monday, May 1, 2006
Anyone who follows mountain biking knows that Moab, Utah is probably the Mecca of mountain biking here in the United States. It's well known for offering some challenging, fast, and furious trails. Well now MountainZone.com brings us another hidden gem in Utah. They recommend riders check out the Color Country, in Southwest Utah at the Dixie National Forest for rides that rival the famed Moab, without the same crowds.

I finally had a chance to get my bike out on a real trail over the weekend, and while it was hard work, it was a lot of fun. The trail I chose, not far from where I live here in Texas, was very rocky, and muddy following some weekend rains, which made for a challenging day on the bike. But, then again, that's what we look for when we head out to these locations, right??
