Day two in Moab took us to Poison Spider where we rented really nice Mountain Bikes (MTB). We also rented a rack to put on the back of our rental SUV and we took off for the Bar M trails.
Did I mention Sally had never ridden a MTB? She did real well before Chance veered off onto a technical trail. Sally ended up going down three times, each time at a spot where it was extremely steep. She also gained a new respect for the pretty yellow flowered cactus! Through all that Sally kept riding but was a bit more cautious.
We finished riding those trails in the middle afternoon and went back to the hotel to eat lunch and get our hiking clothes on. We did not want to over do ourselves day one because we had two more days of bike riding. Off down Potash road to hike to Corona Arch.
This arch was made famous by a You Tube video by a videographer that Chance was following. He shot some friends who made the arch their personal swing with climbing rope and repelling gear. Unfortunately for Sally and I Chance found the rock path that went to the top of the arch. The path went straight up. He put us over the edge climbing and filming everyplace he could.
