As far as location jumping goes, to go from the West Coast lush forest to the Red and brown rocks of Moab, Utah, is about as extremely different as you can get. I left Whistler’s wet slippery spring riding with my new Rotwild X2(carbon) all mountain bike with a Marzocchi 55 fork, full XTR, DT EXC 1550 wheels and Crankbrothers cockpit, to present and ride the latest sweet tires from Continental to the sales reps, in Moab; the X King and the new Mountain King.

The riding was awesome. Beautiful scenery challenging terrain and a whole lot of fun. I had the chance to ride and laugh with all of the reps, the boss Brett Hahn, the fun guides from Wester Spirit biking Adventures(Simon and Garfunkle) and funniest of all Greg Herbold.

After a couple of big rides, some sweet camping and some windy snowy camping, I headed back to the green lush of my home. Once home, I did some loonie races, some rides riding with Wade Simmons, Andreas Hestler and taught my first RS adventure camp of the year. People were super stoked about what they learned and Wade and I were happy to share some of our stoke with them.

Another week here in Whistler, waiting for my new protection from IXS and I am off to Europe for 3.5 weeks, for a bunch of exciting adventures. Checkwww.richieschley.com for my schedule and future camp dates.

Until Next time.
