it takes us about 9 hours to either Moab or St. George. We try to hit both places when the riding up here in the Rockies turn to a mushy mixture of snow and mud.... We'll also be in Moab for Thanksgiving if you want to join some fellow PMTBR'r riders for some epic riding... This invitation goes out to everyone...

I will keep that invitation in mind. Anyone who's in the Vegas area and wants to ride just let me know.

I real winner... I love the pix flip!!! i'm guessing this is at about 45 degrees (pictures never really show how steep a trail is). i'm guessing that maarat, at it's steepest, is around 18 degrees...

All the tips that have been said here have worked for me. The only thing I would add is that climbing is not a static activity. Meaning, you will need to constantly change your center of gravity. As the terrain and incline changes, you'll need to move your body up or down to keep things level. If you don't you risk spinning your rear wheels as they lose traction when you're leaning too far forward.

It also helps if your fork has a travel adjust that goes all the way down to 0 ;D
