Bob and Lisa ready for the fun downhill ride of the Porcupine Rim Trail just outside of Moab Utah.

Coming up to the edge of the Porcupine Rim Trail with spectacular views of Castle Valley far below.

Lisa coming down the slick rock rims on the upper portion of the ride. The splitter crack she just road over really got her attention because the bottom was well over a couple hundred feet below her.

Bob riding down some of the double track Jeep trails on the route.

There are definitely some technical sections.

Looking down into Jackass Canyon and Highway 128 along the Colorado River far below.

It's no wonder the Porcupine Rim Trail is one of the most famous mountain bike rides in the country. Cruising over slabs like this through spectacular scenery for over 15 miles is the best.

Lisa on the home stretch.
