Moab's red rock desert at dawn

The barren hills and the incredible sunburnt scenery help to make the red rocks of Moab a mountain biking haven. Mark spent the day scaling the stunning landscape with the help of experienced guide, Allan Poertner.

Flickr - I won't say how old but Alan is well over double my age and I could hardly keep up with him on the technical slick rock mountain biking!

Keep an eye on the blog for some footage from the amazing trip in the next few weeks.
