Finally made it out to Fruita for FFTF this year. Even though it’s here in CO I’ve never gone to it before, schedule just never seemed to work out. I tend to avoid events like this due to the crowded trail conditions, but it ended up being a great time. If you choose your routes and ride times carefully the trails aren’t crowded at all. Those guys do a great job putting on a fun event. Garry (my neighbor) and I drove out, got there late afternoon and hit a quick loop on Zipity Doo Daa before dinner. The next day we shuttled The Ribbon/Eagles Wing/Holy Cross, what an incredible ride - I highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area. Got up early the last day and hit the Kokopelli area before it got crowded. A little rain the night before had packed down the dust and made for perfect conditions. Rode Mary’s, Horsethief, Steve’s, and Moore Fun. Had some mechanical issues but Anthony from Yeti was kind enough to loan me a demo bike for the Kokopelli ride.
