A Trifecta. Drove to Moab yesterday with Walter, picked up some Trek 29ers from Poison Spider Bikes and did three hours on the new "black diamond" HyMasa Trail. Pretty technical trail and Walter soon proved like most things he tries, that he picks up biking fast. Pretty hard to keep up with him after two hours actually. He took a pretty severe crash though on the descent into Kane's and I ended up taping both of his wrists up so we could hit the next part of the day; kayaking.
Kayaked down the Colorado from Potash Rd, Corona Arch trailhead in bright sunshine and 60 degrees. No way this is January. After an hour of hard paddling I was ready for the next switch and wanted to pull the kayaks out and run back. Walter wanted to paddle back though so we spent the next hour and a half paddling against the current back up. Holy $%#@. Dropped the kayaks by the Jeep and hit the Corona/Bowtie Arch trail running. Pretty cool trail, probably about four miles.
Completely wiped out about 6pm and crashed at the hotel. About nine hours as hard as we could go.
