Mo' Betta Moab

My friend Marshall sent me the link for this event in Moab. It sounds pretty cool, a big mountain bike jamboree in mountain-bike mecca. Fall is definitely the best time to ride Moab and there is plenty of riding to be had - fun challenging riding and out-of-this-word scenery. My advice: Book early, stay longer and get in shape before you go.

Thinking about a new bike?
The world's best bike companies are coming to Moab with their 2011 bikes and you can ride them all. Outerbike is a four-day event September 30-October 3rd. Cost is $150 for all four days, which includes bike demos, lunch, shuttles and schwag. From the event site there are 5 mountain bike loops and a paved road bike path that you can take to either Arches or Canyonlands National Park. Attendance will be capped to make sure there are plenty of bikes.

Beyond the Rides
There will be all kinds of extras like on-site daycare, a free women's skills clinic, movie premieres on Friday night and a pub crawl on Saturday where you could win a Western Spirit trip for 10! And, all the bike companies are bringing their athletes and product designers-- so not only do you get to ride all the bikes you usually just get to read about --you can also meet the people who dreamed them up.

The Bike Companies
Outerbike exhibitors include: Rocky Mountain, Maverick, Santa Cruz, Yeti, Fuji, Breezer, Fox, Pivot, Marin, Ibis, Cannondale, Turner, Trek, Intense, Haro, Kona, Masi, Marzocchi, Specialized, Norco, and GT.
