ABOUT RIDER MEL

This all started in 2000 with my first edition. You’ll know if you have one of these “collector’s items” as it has no number on the front cover. Surprisingly, I never expected to get past the first edition! I’m scared for what the cover will look like if I get to twenty-one.

The concept is as follows: I ride a ton of trails and do my best to map them in a way that is useful to riders. I also rate each trail in terms of its physical and technical difficulty and its likelihood of scaring the crap out of you. The Classic, Giggle, and Moses logos highlight the stuff that is special or unique.

The yellow pages section gives you simple access to local Moab services you might need. I don’t charge folks for the listings, nor do I review or rate the businesses listed. As a special bonus, you get all this, PLUS, it is written with an irreverent tone that will remind you of a 14 year old boy (heh heh heh).
