not sure about st george/hurricane area tacos, but Tacos Los Panchos in Fillmore is my choice, followed by Tacos El Jefe in Cedar,
also,
Centro woodfired pizza in Cedar City is fantastic, and the brewery, Policy Kings, isn't bad!

Forgot you had asked. La Cocina and Jalapenos in StG are both solid (both on Bluff Street). Alfredos in Hurricane is also quite good.Quote:

Ended up recruiting 2 friends who decided the forecast in SLC was too uninspiring and they might as well go bike. We scored a prime camping spot on Goose and stayed there a couple night, rode Goose on Day 1 and 3 and Wire/Grafton on Day 2. The knee did shockingly well and I only noticed it when pulling the back wheel up ledges on Day 1. By the 2nd day the ass pain was so distracting that I could have nailed a tree with that knee and not noticed. I got way looser than I wanted to following people who are much better riders than I am but somehow managed to stay upright and not die (my new wheels also survived their first test). It's a tough place to get back on the bike after 1.5 months of inactivity, the de-conditioning was real. My legs fared better than anything else, my upper body is really worked. The style of riding is insanely physical but oh so fun.
Thanks to everyone who shared beta in here, we rode a bunch of the recommended stuff and it was a blast. Also, a shootout to Teotihuacan mexican food in Hurricane for all of your taco needs.
I'm glad to hear you had fun, Boissal. How was the road to Gooseberry? We're wondering the Winnie can get in there. It's probably as capable as a full sized 2wd van.
We're around the area for about 12 more days in case someone wants to get together.
You'd have no problems whatsoever getting to the parking lot or any of the campsites. It's in really good shape right now.Quote:

The huge gravel parking lot appears to allow camping, and has the cleanest pit toilet I've ever seen. Kershaw Ryan is a nice park with cheap camping and some fun XC trails.Quote:

Suicidal Tendencies outside of Santa Clara is one of the best trails I've ever ridden. It's a true masterpiece of construction and routing. I'd love to buy the builders beers!Attachment 366464Attachment 366465Attachment 366466
If that is sarcasm then I agree.
Well, this is interesting. I might ride the moto today if pedal trails seem too wet.
The True Grit race today-Sun is going to absolutely wreck the St George trials if they got as much moisture as we did here near Grafton.Attachment 366838
I love your ‘Walter White’ RV!
Sooo.... This happened. FYI, there is great Verizon service at Little Creek.Attachment 366993
Lol!
My understanding is the prevailing winds go FROM all the nuclear test sites outside Vegas TO St George. So enjoy.
That's pretty fuckin' cool!Quote:

Haha! We're actually on the way to Vegas now. We stopped at the Moapa trails, which are really fun. Will prob ride Bootleg tomorrow and Blue Diamond Sun. If St George has dried out we will prob go back there, since we do want to ride the various Mesa networks on this trip.
Our meth cooking has really been pretty slack on this trip, but I did whip this up tonight.Attachment 367110
Conditions are fantastic around Hurricane right now. The dirt is tacky, and the crowds have arrived. I saw 1 whole person on Secret trail yesterday (and like 50 on South Rim).
FYI 50 miles of singletrack on Gooseberry feels like a lot despite the small amount of climbing. They don't give out miles easily here.
We're heading home tomorrow, but will be back. This area is amazing.Attachment 368164Attachment 368165Attachment 368166Attachment 368167Attachment 368168
50 miles on the mesa is a metric shit ton in my book. Strong work.
Wow.
Just wow.
That would have been a lot on the Moto!
And you got some Strava jewelry...
