The Whole Enchilada

October 5th, 2007 by Doug Schnitzspahn

I spent last weekend on assignment for Bike in the Abajo Mountains south of Moab with photographer Lin Alder and bike reps Todd Kerbs and Willy Warren (and last-minute sub T.J. from Poison Spider, who was not afraid to ride in rain and mud). We also got a chance to ride the Whole Enchilada—a 30-some-mile, 7,200-vertical descent from the top of Burro Pass in the La Sals to the Colorado River at bottom of Porcupine Rim. It was quite simply the best single-day mountain bike ride of my life, encompassing everything from Crested Butte-style high-mountain singletrack to classic Moab drop-offs on the side off a cliff. You can get sick of Moab, I guess, but there truly is no other place in the world with this view. Here are some sneak peak photos from Lin. Take the time to check out his web site (and please don’t repost these photos without his permission). Oh and thanks to Mike Geraci for putting me on a nimble 08 Kona Dawg Supreme and Kerbs for the Troy Lee Designs shorts and gloves.
