Beau, Alex, KC, Tony and I took our mountain biking trip to Fruita, CO and Moab, UT. Fruita was a great place to ride, but that’s about it. The trails were awesome (we rode Mary’s Loop/Horsethief Bench, the Perimeter ride in the Bookcliffs, and Moore Fun/Mary’s Loop on Fri., Sat. and Sun., respectively), and the weather was great. The food in Fruita pretty much sucks, and there’s not as much non-riding stuff to do as there is in Moab. Grand Junction is a bigger town, and only a few minutes drive away, so we ended up there a couple of times for meals and entertainment.
I bought a new Nikon D70 before I left, so I did take a few photos. Unfortunately, I didn’t take it on the most treacherous ride we went on (Moore Fun), and Beau ditched all of us with the only camera we had, so no pics of that area. >:(
We left for Moab on Monday, rode Bartlett Wash after settling in. We rode Slickrock on Tue. and Jeeped on Wed. After 5 straight days of riding, we were all pretty tired. Tony and KC flew out on Wed. afternoon (they had always planned to leave earlier than the rest of us), and Beau, Alex and I decided to pack up and head home early, by way of Vegas. ;)
A little sleep and a lot of poker later, we got back on Friday night. No injuries, some great trails, and a great trip all around.
