Being French and having had golf has one of my only passions till the age of 25 was probably rare. It's probably even more rare to have given up golf for a bigger passion: Mountain biking. Probably less rare but still rare, is my incredible passion for Moab, Utah.
We were privileged to spend 4 more days in Moab this year and so we say
'thank you' for:
1- For going back to Moab for the 20th time at least since 1999, with our kids and riding bikes with them for the first time. It wasn't easy for sure, but being 4 or 6 years old and riding Bartlett Wash is humbling for all of us. Thank you boys for bearing your parents' passion. Bartlett Wash is one of the most scenic and fun bike rides I know of. One of Bartlett Wash's many bowls:
Kai, Joe, Jeb,
Taking kids on 'adventurous routes':
2- For hanging out with extraordinary humans who are as passionate about this land as much as I do. The desert of Utah is soul-yfing to me. 6 + 6 adventure:
3- Visit once more Delicate Arch and take photos from angles I hadn't thought of before. 
4- Kirsti for letting me escape at dawn and go ride the Slickrock trail once more that will never bore me, with Tom....

5- Letting my familly wonder through stunning landscapes. The boys did great despite the challenges and with a few 'encouragements' :)
Wondering through the fins of Arches NP:

One piece of advice: go there if you haven't... this place will bring your humanity back.
Happy post-Thanks Giving to all.
