Cliffhanger did not leave us wanting. Now, who took pics?

Uploading now, will post shortly!

I have to say, this ride was in the Top 3 rides I've been on. Great group of guys, awesome attitudes despite a few problems, very challenging trails and everyone riding to the best of their ability... and not a single complaint when the going got rough. I will ride with any of you, anytime! Thanks for making is a fun trip guys!

I know there will be some videos coming eventually, but we'll start a Ride Report thread and if you got some video or pics, add them here! I have some video from the first 2 days, will probably take some time before I can edit & upload them.

Pics from Cliffhanger on Sunday... it was pretty intense, a lot of challenges for motos. We all made it thru, but not without trouble.

Looks like a good time, wish I could have made it. But i'm strapped for vacation days. Glad you guys had a good time, with no injuries reported?

Some minor blood drawn from a few people, I have some pretty good bruises on my leg from my wreck... Kurt got a pretty bad raspberry after a close encounter with the rocks... his thumb bleed pretty good.

Bike carnage included a couple tubes, some shift, brake & transmission levers, my GoPro lens cover, a cracked engine case on Tonkaman's CRF... I think that was it?

100% rad trip. Right up there with my favorites too. I was really challenged and realistically pushed it far beyond my comfort level on multiple occasions. That said, I wouldn't have had it any other way and despite being worked over a few (like 20) times on the rocks, it was some of the best technical riding I could ask for. That makes all the tight stuff up AF seem like a cinch.

Were you guys riding along Potash Rd in the later afternoon on Sat? I was coming off the Corona Arch trail when I saw a bunch of motos and I said, "I wonder if that's the RME guys?"

Nada, we were on the Sovereign and Salt Wash single track trails north of Moab on Saturday and Cliffhanger today.

I agree with Kurt one of the best rides I've ever done just about everything we did I woulda said heck no but watching you guys do it helped me push my limits farther and helped me out. Next time I'm doing lower gearing and hand guards. Couldn't of asked for better weather and a better group of people to be with. Big thanks to Stratton for having all the spare parts we needed haha

I couldn't have said it any better. I don't think the trip could have been any better
