...and part of two nights.
The White Rim Trail near Moab has been calling for a while. Mr. Benson rode it last Autumn in a single push inspiring me towards a similar adventure.
One of my loves is random, under-prepared for, off-the-couch adventures, where I pull in someone with similar levels of under-preparedness; so this adventure included Casey, who agreed that it would be a great way to suffer for a long period on time.
16 hours, 2 moons (one of them full), 90+ miles and about 5000 calories later we completed to route. It was awesome, and has left me itching for more R.A. (random adventures).

| Mineral Bottom mud, around 6am |
 |
| Mostly two-track the route is very ridable, but walking can feel so good |
 |
| The vistas are deep and detailed. Usually ridden over a couple of days, it would be great to go back and spend more time looking. |
 |
| More heavy tires; it was pretty early in the season, we saw only one other rider. Commercial groups and vehicles start heading out towards the end of March. |
 |
| The second moon of the trip, about 14 hours after we started. |
 |
| We rode anti-clockwise, so finished up the Schaffer Trail. 1200ft of pushing for both of us. |
