Bike trip to Fruita, CO

Went to Fruita, CO this last weekend with my ol' ridin buddy Gary. He was here from WI on business and was able to turn it into a long weekend/vacation. Fruita is about a 4 hr trip from Denver and worth every minute of it. Definitely the best trails I have ridin since moving out here. So we had two days of 60 degree and sunny, got in about 5 adventurous hours of riding.







Some hard climbing.....




But the downhills are awesome!



Gary out on the ridge.




Unbelievable views on the Colorado river.










Most of the trail was right around 5000 ft. (elevation)








20+ mph on a ridge like this gets pretty crazy!




Some areas reminded me of Moab, but the single track here is far superior.



So all in all...I had a blast. It's taken me some time to adjust to the elevation....but I'm loving it here!
