Fruita!

The next morning on our quest for single track on the westen slope we got up early in order to beat the heat, had a quick breakfast and headed to the trail head. It was already getting pretty warm at 8am! We started by climbing up toward the book cliffs on the Prime Cut trail. It is desigend for climbing up to the other trails that are used for descending back down to the trail head. It was a pretty mellow climb, but still had some challenges. There was one huge rock the trial went over the neither of us could clear.

After we finished the climb we traversed over to Joe's Ridge and took this trail back down. It was a screamer that rode down on top of some ridges with a few really steep parts. In one section we were descending down some hill that was too steep for our brakes to stop us completely and there was a steep drop off on both sides of the trail. It was pretty thrilling!

After we were back at the bottom we took the campsite road for an easy climb back up the the other trails and traversed over to "western zippety". It was a pretty hilly traverse though and one section had some really nasty switchbacks. Kendra gave it her best and was a great sport. I was quite impressed. Western zippety was a smooth, fast singletrack that screamed back to the bottom, past the trail, so we had to make our way back to our car on a 4wd road and a dirt road.

I had a blast riding these trails and can't wait to make it back out there soon. Kendra did an amazing job riding these trails and I know she is going to be a great biker. I can't wait to go riding with her again.
