Grafton Mesa

The Tito tour continues. #followcamfriday getting my fill of desert riding in Southern Utah on Grafton Mesa. 

After watching some of the legends of mountain biking risk life and limb at Rampage last week, this was a welcome decompression from the stress of the event. Just watching was stressful. I couldn't imaging riding some of those lines. I will say that my perspective of what is possible has definitely changed. And the cycle continues. Thank you for pushing and progressing the sport, heroes of Rampage. 

"More Money" and "Dig It" on Grafton Mesa are "double blacks". If I am being honest, after witnessing Rmapage, this feels like a green run to me... My perspective has changed. What some would consider dangerous, is actually child's play now.... After watching people huck 70ft step-downs, hucking 6 or 8 feet to flat seems pretty insignificant somehow. JRA. NBD. 

Those down-valley views tho. More Money has some highly entertaining rock-work. Basically, the "skinnies" of Utah. You have to work with the terrain you have and the builders did an amazing job of highlighting the local landscape and building some unique rock features. Kudos. Less flow trail, more rock jank please. When I hear my rims hitting the rocks, I know I am doing it right. My happy place. 

Skinnies for days.

You will not be dissapointed. Tito is returning to France in a couple of months and having a baby so he is making the most of his stay in the US. Congrats friend. 

It was brought to my attention that the best part of this area lies in the descent back to Rockville. Fortunately, I will be back to Southern Utah soon and need to tick the "Grafton Mesa" end bit, off of my list. Apparently there is a road gap that needs to be hit. Child's play after Rampage.... Right? 
Desert season is just getting started. Stay tuned for shenanigans. You might just see me send some shit.
