Fall MTB Trip Sept 24-Oct 12

First big fall trip for the retired couple. With Francine retired from the ski school we were ready to go find sunshine. The plan was to spend a week in Park City, then drive down to Moab for another week, spend four days in Fruita/Grand Junction then work our way home with a stop in Draper Ut. and Boise, Id. With great lodging, good friends, and pefect weather it was the perfect roadtrip.


First on the stop was Park City

After Moab we headed to Fruita.  We rode RD 18 area, The Ribbon in Grand Junction, Hawkeye/Mack Ridge/Troy Built and a quick lap of Horsethief on our last day.   The Rd. 18 trails were looking kind of sad and are moving off the must-do list.  The ribbon was amazing and the new Falcon trail was excellent.

On the drive home we decided to skip riding Corner Canyon in Draper and try to ride in Boise.   The winds were gusting to 40 in Boise, so Francine opted out, but Kevin had a good time on the ultra smooth trails above the Boise Capitol buildings.
