Fruita

Another busy work week has flown by; however, we did spend 4 days in Fruita last weekend.  Weather was pretty nice, with a pretty windy and cool day on Friday.  We were going to camp at Highline State Park for the weekend, but got there and quickly realized it wasn't going to work for us.  So we headed over to 18 road and found a nice spot in a grove of Junipers.

First day we headed to the Lunch Loops and made our way up to the Ribbon and then down Holy Cross.

A walk in the evening around camp with Lakota.

Some camp shots....moon was bright all weekend.

Day two....WIND!!  With the wind we ended up riding Mary's > Horsethief > Rustler Loop in the morning and then did some "Hot Laps" around camp in the afternoon.

Day 3 Rabbit Valley.....

Final day some more "Hot Laps" around the 18 road trails.  Another great trip to kick off the 2012 camping/riding season.

Back to It

After returning from Carmel...the riding conditions improved drastically in what has become the driest March in Front Range history, leading to forest fires already up near Buffalo Creek that has resulted in around 30 lost homes.

With the dry weather pretty much the entire Front Range is open for business again, which has been great as both Sarah and I are riding the Bailey 100 again this year.


Early in the month headed down to the Springs again and had another great day down there.

March has been great with a lot of rides on the mountain bike....ending up coming down with the flu this week and finally got back on the bike today for a mellow road ride.  Up next is Fruita after work on Wednesday this week.
