The last day of May 2009 is here, and it will still be awhile before the IAATB crew will be riding our favorite rides in the Wasatch Mountains. Obi Ben rode to the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon to see if it’s possible to connect to Park City via Guardsman Pass, and the photo below tells the tale. It will take a few weeks of summer weather before we are riding any of the high mountains.

Obi Ben gave it a college try, but there is still a lot of snow above 9000 feet.

On Mother’s Day weekend, a few of the IAATB crew trailered bikes down to Moab for a quick spin around the White Rim. As I wait for a report from Dave Fields, who had previously committed to putting his journalism cap back on for a day, here is a photo from Darth Nater, with iconic imagery of the new BMW F800 GS juxtaposed against a classic Utah redrock vista. Makes me wish I had gone on this trip! Come on Dave, this is your chance to enter the world of blogging. Write us a story.
