LEWIS returns from a successful trip to Moab where he and the Fleet Footed Wonder partook in a weekend of mountain biking. After a relatively sedate day of hiking and riding in Arches National Park the two set off at 8:30 AM to ride to the trailhead 10 miles up the road in a light rain. They then made their way down the 15 mile rim with jaw-dropping exposure and tricky technical drops. Passed by everyone on the trail, including LEWIS's grandmother Claire Meuse, the incredible duo were unfazed and continued to alternate slow, halting, and anxious biking with plentiful walking as well as stopping for snacks. 7 hours later, covered in red sand and with several new scrapes and bruises, they pulled back into downtown Moab and subsequently enjoyed large smoothies.
"What I love best about mountain biking is simply shredding the shit out whatever trail I'm on," remarks the Fleet Footed Wonder, in the midst of overhauling her bottom bracket after her second mountain bike ride.
