ruig terrein / slickrock Explanation: What is "slickrock"? A misnomer. "Slickrock" is the term used for ancient, weathered, and sculpted sandstone, of the type found in parts of Utah. But it's not actually slick; your mountain bike tires will stick right to it. Which is why mountain bikers love areas such as Moab, where the most famous ride is named Slickrock. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-27 09:03:29 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- slickrock -> zandsteen \"Slickrock (sandstone) is smooth but not slick\" http://www.netwiz.net/~cstevens/moab/photos.html Reference: http://www.alysonadventures.com/bike/gay/slickrock.htm#slick... |
