One last little thing from Moab

we set up some demos and then decided to check out the new Circle O trail.

I can't say that i would rush back here, but if you are in need of a pretty tame ride, with no sand slogging and spectaculous views of Arches N.P., this is worth a giggle.















p.s., had to drive back through Durango.

Had to take a Carbon AS-R up into Horse Gulch. workworkwork

I loved the circle O. It was like solid pump track. Unfortunately, it was about 10 miles too short.




I also like how they marked it with what looks like a wet bike tread. We speculated they used a fork with a tire and some dripping reservoir of stain to do it.

So is it near the Soverign (SP?) trail?

BTW- nice pics I love my ASR, but the new one looks taxi tested tough.

South. It's a loop off bar-M. Best place to start is at the Gemini Bridges parking lot, cross the street, go right or left and loop till you reach it. I prefer the left route to get a piece of the canyon view and better views than the highway. You can loop back along the highway road, but it's boring. We went back the same way we came, making it a lollipop.

BTW, the trail gets surprisingly close to a death fall on that canyon. Careful sight-seeing along it.
