Day three of the ZR2 Red Rock Rally in Moab had us rolling with the Red Group on the 3D Trail, and this one really does have everything. We start with a steep sandy descent that drops straight into a fast, fun sandy wash, then the whole vibe changes as the sand turns into slickrock and we start climbing up onto the mesa. I’m riding in the lead truck with Mike, and we’re using Trails Off-Road for mapping—seeing upcoming waypoints (like the S-turns and obstacles) takes a lot of the guessing out of the trail. Once we’re up on the rock, it gets technical: wet, slippery climbs from the rain, ledges, and a mandatory hill that looks mild on camera but is steep with dips that love to kill momentum. We spot each other through, talk throttle and momentum (“more beans”), and even deal with a quick hang-up where Mike taps his lower rear shock mount on a rock and we back him up to reposition. One of my favorite parts is watching different lines—some spicy, some safe—especially when lockers aren’t cooperating. And if you want the pucker factor, 3D delivers with off-camber sections that lift a rear wheel way up in the air before we finish on a final obstacle and end the day at an overlook with unreal Moab views—then it’s back to camp to prep for Poison Spider (and weather we didn’t see coming).
