Go inside the Tacoma cycling scene

Moab, Utah, has a reputation as a mountain biking Mecca and I learned earlier this week it is well deserved. The highlight of my two days in Moab was the Slickrock Trail. The 10.2-mile trail is over steep red rock formations with some sandy stretches thrown in to spice things up. Slickrock is the trail that put Moab on the mountain biking map.

Here's a picture of John Osmundson of Boise riding Slickrock. Check out The News Tribune Adventure section in June for much more on Moab.
