Testing out our new XC bikes on some real Moab tech (Cap'n Ahab Trail)
Today, we’re heading to Moab, Utah, to escape the spring snow and host a trip with Chasing Epic, as well as stretch out our legs on some proper singletrack after a winter with a LOT of road riding. We’ll be riding Cap’n Ahab, an iconic Moab double-black diamond trail, and one that has served for us, in years past, as a way of seeing if our technical skills need sharpening up before the season. And today, in the spirit of a season full of burly XC races, we’ll be tackling it on the little bikes.
