Due to the two-dimensional nature of photography, readers may have received the impression that the bicycle shown in front of a pet- roglyph panel in our March issue was leaning on the artwork.

"I can't tell you how many times I've given people a speech about resource protection which begins, 'Anywhere else on the planet this art, or these artifacts, would be behind a velvet rope in a museum. Treat them that way here as well.' I hope my lousy photography skills haven't done anything to diminish that message." Cycling Utah would like to emphasize that petroglyphs are fragile archaeological treasures that provide insight into our past and stand on their own as art. We should not have run the photo without indicating that the bike was deliberately placed so as to avoid contact with the petroglyph panel, and no one outside of archaeologists or restoration experts should ever touch this type of resource. -Cycling Utah

In fact, Marinda proved quite adept on Slickrock, to the extent that she was making it a point to stay on her bike on the steepest downhills and some of the more difficult and challenging uphills. Also, given that Ruth’s bike had no suspen- sion, I was pleased with how well she was doing. Looking back, I would have been much wiser to rent a suitable (as in lighter, with suspension) bike from a local shop. It was later, from Ruth’s mother, that I learned she was in tears several times during this dif- ficult ride, and often rode a little behind Marinda and me until she had her tears and fears in control. Though Slickrock was a bit ambitious on my part for my rid- ing partners, it certainly is in my mind the most magnificent ride in the Moab repertoire. The effort and energy, both physically and psychologically, demanded by its rolling, hardened sand dunes and terrain, is more than rewarded by the grandeur of its views of Moab, the Colorado River, Arches 22 cycling utah.com APRIL 2005
