Moab: World Capital of Extreme Mountain Biking
In the heart of the western states lies the mecca of mountain biking: Moab, Utah. Moab has become the world capitol of extreme mountain biking. Temperate spring and fall weather, little precipitation, and the miles of weather-forged salt and sandstone landscape summon riders from across the globe. Bikers still need to be careful, though, as dangers present themselves to the unwary. Summer heat, the extreme dryness and occasional but sudden storms bringing lightning and flash floods are some of the more common hazards. With comments from professional mountain biker Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski, meteorologist Joe Ramey, Mountain Bike Tours owner Kirstin Peterson and biker Wendy Reynolds.
