KTR.......Completed


142 miles in 18 hours and 40 minutes. Alot of hiking Some fun single track,impossible climbs,flowing hydrating streams,lighting,thunder and rain.Fire roads that felt like they went on forever. I will be doing this one again.
camped out at slickrock campground on day one.


Dewey bridge only way across the colorado river at one time.

Pre riding mary's loop With Milkman on day two. Very exposed singletrack lots of fun! Especialy at 1:00a.m.



Local critter

Started at 11:20 P.M. the local blm at the loma start was giving us a hard time saying we needed perments and stuff. One person got a ticket for being the unoffcial official. I pitched in on the ticket and so did a lot of other enduro freaks that were out there . I kinda felt like a criminal. Well, i am from the I.E. !Wut Up Fool! the bureu of land management officer's were telling us that we would all be getting tickets when we arrive in
Moab,at least that's what i heard. ati that Point i didn't care anymore and just wanted to ride my bike. So my adventure began about 40-minutes before the man group started.I had rode the Mary's loop the day Before so i kinda new the 1st 20-miles.But not really. the first real hike-a-bikewas about a mile long. After that it was Fire roads for while almost all the way to dewey bridge.


Dewey Bridge the half way point.72 miles in 81/2 hours from the start. After this we headed into the La Sal mountains. There was a total of 17000 ft of climbing on this adventure and i'm the first to admit that there was more walking than i expected. My feet were killing me from the heat.
Alot of this. Scetchy loose stuff up and down.


Lunch time just after dewey.


Filtered water here. Tasted pretty good to.I heard from the locals in Moab that the uranium in the water makes ya CraZy.

One of many hike-a-bikes


Trevor, Jeff(single speeders) and i forgot the other guys name i think i walked more than all three of these guy's together.



Local watering hole. I think some of these people laid around this creek for hours.







Breath taking views and a lot of suffering. I love this place. Done!
