Where's the mtn bikers?

[Greg]

Any of the RME mtn bikers been to Fruita to ride?

I finally picked up a bike last week (Rocky Mountain Slayer) and Catherine got a hardtail for Christmas from Santa. We rode some of the local trails on saturday, I was very impressed with the trails that have been built around here. The guys in the bike shops say Fruita is 'the next Moab' & I believe it. There's over a hundred trails within 20 minutes of town. We rode Rustlers Loop on saturday and the trail developers spent a lot of time laying it out. There were neat build features like laying a thick slab of rock over deep washes to form a bridge, rather than crashing thru the bottom of the wash. Today we checked out the North Fruita area up by 18 Road and there's literally miles of riding to be had.

We're probably going out again this week, but we're taking it slow at first. Catherine hasn't done much mtn biking & I haven't been on a bike in about 3 yrs, so we're trying to get into the swing of things. I forgot how fun it is to be on a bike.

I'm here, brother! Rocky Mountains are sweet, they were my #2 when I bought my Ellsworth.

Fruita is sweet, I'm looking forward to heading down now that I know you're down there, and I met some people in Grand Junction.

Biking rocks. I was going to ride to the shop today but I need a shifter cable.

I miss that place! When i lived in GJ, I used to go to Fruita or Mack to ride once or twice a week. I think the trails in Mesa county are better than Moab!! If you can got out to holy cross trail just below the southern monument entrance. That trail is a fun one!! Kinda technical though. Run into Ruby Canyon Cycles on 3rd and Main, then can tell you the best way to find it.

I love to ride. I really want to get down to Fruita. I hear great things about that place. Any time anyone wants to ride let me know.

Come on down, it would be cool to get a ride put together!

I'll check out the Holy Cross trail, that area under the Monument it pretty cool. I think I know where it is, I'll have to find it!

Come on down!! I'm out of shape & slow, but hopefully that won't last long.

Ive never been to Fruita, always wanted to though. My cousing owns a slayer, they are great bikes. I bought a Titus motolite last year, and love it.

I've never been to Fruita, but I love mountain biking Moab. Maybe we should plan a trip to CO. The only problem is I have Tue, Wed, Thur off from work

Hey Skyline, maybe we should plan a trip down, then you can bring my bike home for me LOL

I'm definitely coming down for a ride.
