For fall break I decided to head down to Moab, UT and ride the world famous Porcupine Rim trail. I decided just to go out and back on the trail which makes for a solid 28ish miles. Most people just take a shuttle to the trailhead, and now I know why. It is pretty much all uphill from where I started to the trailhead(and I endo'ed on the first little downhill like 12 miles in). It ended up being a 5 1/2 hour ride with some wind and nice cold rain.
Castle Valley
The La Sal Mountains from porcupine rim
High Anxiety Viewpoint. Its 3000' from here to the valley floor below. 
There is a tractor in the parking lot down there. I had been planning on riding the next morning too but since I could barely move I decided against it. It was a great ride though and I found a CO2 canister, pump, 2 tire levers, 2 water bottles, a sweet beanie, and 5 bucks!! All of which was spread out over about 10 miles. You know its a good ride when you come back with more money than you started with.
