After spending the weekend in Fruita racing, wrenching & demoin' beer & bikes we got our payday after everyone else was gone. We woke to another sunny day & got the coffee going. Since we had been riding & racing the south side we decided to head out to the north to ride the Zion Curtain. The ride didn't wait to get going as you hit a steep climb nearly immediately after crossing I-70 from Rabbit Valley. Once we got to the top the trail split left & we headed into Utah. Ripper up & down singletrack kept the crew smiling all day before connecting back into the Kokopelli Trail & winding our way back to camp.The early climbs were short & steep, the 32x18 gear seemed an appropriate gear for most of the ride.
Desert riding, gotta find shade when you can.
The view of the La Sal's & singletrack below was stellar.
La Sal's rocking in the sun. The Zion Curtain, the final gathering place of true believers.

That's all for this time, we're packed up & heading to Sea Otter.
I have to give a shout out to the ladies that made the trip enjoyable.
We had a bit of a science experiment in the freezer & the ladies dug in.
While I was outside bent over gagging Monique got right in there & attacked the root of the problem. Thanks ladies!
