Fruita, Colorado

After a few days in Moab we decided to head to Fruita, Colorado which is about an hour east of Moab in a car, or a 3 day mountain bike on the Kokopelli trail (we opted for the car ride).

Fruita was full of amazingly smooth, flowy, fun single track. Which was a nice change from sharing trails with Jeeps and dirt bikes in Moab.

James on Joe's Ridge - a favourite.

More of Joe's Ridge.

One of the fun steeps on Zipadee Dooda.

Luckily no one landed on one of these.

This was our awesome campsite. It was located in the middle of a bunch of trails, so we could come back to camp for lunch and brew a cup of coffee before heading out for more riding.

Breakfast seemed to increase in size as the week went on.

Cool seed pods. Unfortunately I failed to find a good plant guide, so identifying plants was a challenge.

James was excited about the dessication cracks.


Rice grass



Field repair

Juniper skeleton

Woot! Right after our last ride on Kessel's Run - think fun swooshy turns, much like skiing.
