Brad and I finally broke out the tent and camping equipment. It was great to sleep on the ground again in the great out doors. We just did a quick weekend trip to Moab to get in some mountain biking. Moab is usually 100+ degrees but the weekend was rainy and on the cool side. It was the prefect temperature for mountain biking when it wasn't raining.
On Saturday we went for a ride but had to turn around due to the fact we saw a storm coming our way. We got in a couple miles and going back to the car was going to be quick because it was mostly down hill but we didn't make it.
We were about a mile from the car when it started to pour fat heavy cold rain drops. And then when we were about a quarter of a mile from the car is started to hail. Yes, hail in Moab in the middle of June. We got to the car dropped our bikes and got in out of the rain. This ride is defiantly going down in the record books. We waited for the rain to stop then we packed up our bikes, changed into dry clothes and drove out of the canyon. On our way out of the canyon there were a bunch of waterfalls. It was so pretty. We never saw Moab after a rain like that before (because it is always so dry). 
We decided to ride a trail since the rain has come and gone. We tried another slickrock trail. It was kind of disappointing seeing how the trail wasn't marked really well but we had fun just riding around on the rock.
That night while cooking dinner it rained some more but we still had a fire and enjoyed our meal. We cooked the best chicken.
It rained most of the night but was nice to hear it coming down while in the tent. In the morning we decided to go for another bike ride before heading back to Salt Lake. We took our time packing up our gear and we discovered and talked with people who where from Ithaca, NY who were out here mountain biking. So we gave them suggestions of what to ride.
We got to the trail head and we could see another storm but we didn't think it was heading our way so we decided to start our ride. 10 minutes into the ride I turn around to see the black clouds right behind us. We didn't make it back to the car before it poured on us again for the second time this weekend. We just laughed, dropped our bike and climbed into the car out of the rain. After about 20 the storm was over and we changed our clothes, and had lunch while we waited for the trail to dry out. Then we got back onto our bikes and got a great ride in. The loop we ended up doing was about 8 miles. The weather cooperated and it was hot and sunny the whole ride.
We were both beat by time we got back to our car. We packed up our bikes and headed into town to get a bit to eat before driving back to Salt Lake. Even with the rain it was a good weekend. We got to enjoy the outdoors and got some good rides in. So we can't complain. More picture are to the right!
