Mark Lee Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I've done it on motorcycles many times very beautiful. Anymore I much prefer off road riding than deal with the cars. It's a blast and I feel I've gained more control of the EUC every trip. With modern EUC with 3 inch wide tires changes everything. The control you have makes it viable vehicle to get to where you want to go with maximum fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve driven the route a few times over the years and with how narrow those roads are and how much traffic there is this time of year, I’m pretty nervous about tackling it on the 16x. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve driven the route a few times over the years and with how narrow those roads are and how much traffic there is this time of year, I’m pretty nervous about tackling it on the 16x. We're blessed with unlimited trails here in Utah. Fastest way to get comfortable and relax while you ride is to ride on irregular surfaces. Best part is one can have great fun going 15 mph max speed. It's you againt the trail. Look into Kuji Pad and secure your ankle. 1. Pad keeps your feet on the padels when you hit the washboards on the trails. 2. When riding on the trail one needs to minimize leaning and still be able to leverage the pedals. That's where Kuji pad shines.... Practice it's whole new way to ride. It's very doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lee Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) It's too bad there are limited videos from @mrelwood but if you have chance to see him ride. He is Natural in his form minimum leaning always on top of the wheel. That's what you want... Edited October 1, 2019 by Mark Lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One local guy shoots every now and then, but rarely publishes them. I would like really like to make a video though, to show the extreme off-road conditions we love to ride. Maybe one day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to your videos. As long as I'm able there is a wheel and trail with your name on it here in Utah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Lee Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hi guys, following up Marty's 7 days tour of SoCal. I am floating an idea to come up with group rides here in Utah. By utilizing UTA we have an access to the whole valley. I've got Northern Utah covered. Any suggestions around SL and Utah County would be welcomed. On the Frontrunner we can even charge as we ride... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lee Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The biggest problem in LA as everyone knows it's the traffic Unreal. If we can come up with courses starting from transit stations we can have visitors from out of town fly in they won't even need a car, provided someone here donate a wheel.

Mark Lee Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Ideally what we want is interesting loops. As long as it starts at transit center it can end at any other stations. Come on guys share your secret trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lee Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Here's one top of my head. Get to the mouth of Big cotton wood canyon to guardsmans pass to Park City recharge lunch return. Not a loop but it should be a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lee Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Who knows we might even have @Marty Backe to join us. If it's interesting enough, I'm shooting for at least 7 days worth of rides. Have 4 days covered so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Brown Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Depending on when this is, I may try to make it out for this. I'm sure it's a bit too far away to be convenient, but doing some trail riding in Moab would be awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's a bit too far away to be convenient, but doing some trail riding in Moab would be awesome! I'm thinking around June. Funny you mentioned Moab I was talking to Marty about riding the Slick rock trail on MCM5. I've done it on Mt bike many times. Whole idea is to provide interesting places to ride for some one like yourself who can visit with their wheels here and hope contact one of the locals to go ride make new friends. GREAT fun.

Cory Brown Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 One of the main reasons I opted for the MCM5 was to do some climbing in Moab. It's such a beautiful place. I keep envisioning a moment of earning the respect of some 4 wheelers by taking on some of the classic Jeep trails with the EUC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lee Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) If you want to get out there... We have ATV/UTV Mecca here in Utah Pieute trails that connects small towns to replenish. Probably not there yet with current EUC's. 😢 Edited December 6, 2019 by Mark Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lee Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Here are some I'm considering. 1. Antolope Island 2. Skyline Dr. Via Farmington Canyon 3. Salt Lake City tour via Capital, City creek canyon, UofU trails to Red Bute canyon. 4. Emigration canyon to East canyon. 5. Snow Basin, Pineview to Causy Dam. 6. Extreme off road Killian's canyon top of Mt. Dell. Anyway if anyone wants to explore with me on any of these rides to collect data let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustChris Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I'd be so interested in any of these as group rides. I hope we can make it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
