Weekend in Moab (not MUTA-related)...

Here's some pics I took this weekend in Moab. Nope, I wasn't there for the 24-hours of Moab. Just a fun mountain biking weekend with some good friends and about 3 hours in Arches National Park.

Enjoy!

Nice pics- I've got to make it put there soon!

Can you tell me about your roof rack? I'm getting back into riding (road mostly) and would like a nice rack. Sorry this is OT-you can PM me if you want.

MDK,

I'm happy to share information whenever I can, OT or not. My rack is a Yakima for the towers, clips and bars. The trays are Rocky Mounts that I've had to modify slightly for disc brakes. It's just a simple notch about 1/4" x 2" that I made in the tray to clear the calipers.

I actually bought my rack used from a local sports rack dealer. The clips were new though. I'm a firm believer in not spending money where it isnt' necessary, and the Rocky Mounts are well worth the money especially since they're half the price of Yakima or Thule brand trays.

Hope that helps!

- Al

MDK,

Heh, another slighlty OT post...

My bike is a Pricepoint house-brand called Sette. The frame is the Riddik, 3.5"-4.5" (more like 4"-5") rear travel. It has a solid 4-bar design and was only $269 including a Manitou 4-way Swinger shock. Heck, the shock alone is worth that much! Very happy with my bike - the biggest test was doing Mach 1 down Porcupine Rim, drops and all! Climbs well too!

Thanks,

Al

OK let me pull back in---- nice aplenglow in the "windows" picture. I love seeing the late Galen Rowel's pictures featuring that glow-he used long exposures and sturdy tri-pod to capture the glow, how did you get that shot?

(amazing deal on the bike!)

MDK,

My North/South Windows picture is a assembly of three pictures. It is HDR, so there are three different exposures tone-mapped as well. I used a basic 54" tripod to stabilize my shots and to provide a smooth pan from side to side.

Thanks,

Al
