Here's our day at the Kokopelli Loops. This is right outside Fruita, about 20-30 minutes from the 18 Road trails.
A few points about this:
1. I sniffle, grunt, and wheeze a lot more than I realized.
2. Horsethief Bench was my favorite riding on the whole trip. Just the perfect. mix of fun terrain but mostly stuff you can hit at speed. The drop-in is the biggest ledge I've ever rolled. When we scouted it I thought I'd huck off the biggest drop but the other drops are so close to it I didn't have enough speed there. There's no way I'd have tried to roll it if I hadn't seen a couple other guys do it first.
3. Mary's was also fun and fast. Beautiful scenery above the bluff and the river. Moore Fun kicked the shit out of me. Tighter turns, steeper chunkier climbs. I lost count of how many times I got hung up, dabbed a bunch, walked quite a bit, and crashed once on a stupid spot when I just just riding like shit from fatigue.
It was a great day.
