What is 5 miles of hell? about 8 miles of climbing and going down cliffs and large obstacles on your motorcycle…which took us about 5 hours.
Ever taken your bike too close to 1000′ cliff?
Well, last weekend, we hit the green river trails, which include 5 miles of hell (5moh) (fun, but really wears you out!), deadcow wash, Mary’s trail, including east wall (no big deal after 5moh) and the tubes. We’ve done the tubes, but never found the lookout with the cliffs before.
Yeah, no matter how mentally tough you are, it makes you sick when you are that close to cliffs…and venomous snakes.
On the top of 5moh biggest challenge, is a graveyard of moto parts. We got the tools out about 10 times, 3 of us had shifters that came loose after 100,000 large bumps…so weird.
Protip, don’t start with an empty tank…even if you have an awesome beard:
Protip2: let your buddy go first…and then wait until he is out of the way before trying to climb up a cliff!
Friday was 620 “intense workout minutes” from my garmin watch.
Almost 6,000 calories, so if anyone is looking for the new fad diet, do 5moh every week and don’t eat too much.
I really learned the value of a “day of rest”!
We will do 5moh every year…. until we are broken. It was so much fun! Deadcow wash and the tubes…the alt-energy eco terror govgoons want to close it to dirt biking…which is the only thing you can do with this “land”.
So, deadcow wash and tubes was busier than I’ve ever seen it…given the govgoons wanting to shut it down.
We always take in the wild beauty of the place, but surviving and being grateful to be alive afterwards seems to be paramount…this trip!
Lots of spectacular crashes.
I rarely get scared of adventure, but this trip I had butterflies in my stomach…thanks to watching several youtube vids of major fails on 5moh!
We ran two full batteries for the drone. EPIC! pics/vids!

Well, after getting totally beat-up for 2 days, I think I’m going to take a brake from enduro riding…maybe even a full week or two 😉
