My first ever mountain biking trip - a 6.5 hour trek from Colorado to Utah to ride the 15 mile Porcupine Rim Trail. It was complete with temperature swings from 100-50-110 degrees, a heavy thunderstorm that dropped lightning bolts within 100 feet of us, a 3 mile hike with the bike over my shoulder just inches from a thousand-foot cliff and an 8 mile ride back to town in a 50 mph sandstorm. This was my “relaxing” weekend. Click here for more pics
