[DAHLHEIMER PETER]

anybody got a link to that online page with the direction and gps coords for the lasal mountain loop in moab? _pete

[Fred Hink]

It's on the Dual Sport News web site at: http://www.dualsportnews.com/lasal.html After last year I think I would recommend changing the descriptions of this trail from "easy to moderate" to "moderate and difficult". I thought it was easy but some had real problems. Any other comments about this loop that I led last year? I will not be leading this loop again this year as I am doing the Poker Run and tending my shop the rest of the time you guys are here. Fred www.arrowheadmotorsports.com

Fred, I went on your ride last year and I think the description easy to moderate was pretty accurate other than the 100 yards or so of "slag". I would suggest that this years ride leader define passing protocol/etiquette. A few people seemed to get there nose bent out of shape last year over being passed.

i agree, easy to moderate. the climb up seems to have been difficult with some on the bigger bikes, but it's a very small portion of the whole ride, and moderate is a fair description regardless. yes, some did object to being passed, but passing is inevitable on such a ride and should be tolerated within reason. thanks for the lasal link... _pete -----Original Message----- From: Richard Ohnstad To: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com Sent: 5/16/01 10:03 PM Subject: Re: [DSN_klr650] lasal loop Fred, I went on your ride last year and I think the description easy to moderate was pretty accurate other than the 100 yards or so of "slag".

Bogwan, Bro...warm up before you hit this one. The start has about 4 hogs backs to start and the last one is solid loose rock (about 100yd ascent across a side hill rockslide). Once your past the Talus its friendly and long. For crossing the talus.... Stand slightly. Hold tight. 'Keep a steady throttle hand' at 8-mph+.........the bike will want to yank you around so yank it back, while maintaining steady throttle....any slower, or jerky throttle will kick loose the talus, then you lose momentum. Starting again is a b........ The rest of the ride is wonderful.........super green, aspens, meadows, hills are alive type country......Then you bail out into plains of sage, and down a twisty red canyon with several creek crossings just before the pavement....... Good to have bro's along on this one just cause its all day.... oh yeah, watchout for logging trucks................. Heck I'm talkin myself into it now....... Slide Bogdan Swider wrote:
