The Fruita Family Weekend happened again this past weekend. Good time was had by all. Everybody drove out at various times on Friday and by midnight the last couple had arrived.
Saturday morning Morryjg, Ascentrek, Rob and myself shuttled The Ribbon in GJ. The Ribbon, as usual was great fun. And they've put up a bunch of those little yellow road things to mark the trail.
We grunted the bikes to the top of Ribbon Junction and then rode a short bit of Eagle's Wing before dropping to the Tabaguache Trail. A fast descent, including Widowmaker Hill brought us to the top of Holy Cross. Which was stellar. As usual. Got back to the truck at the bottom after the great singletrack and had a Titan IPA while waiting for the shuttle to be returned.
Sunday, after packing up, my family spent a couple hours by The River while I popped out to Loma to do a "quick" Horsethief Bench. Which was, again, fantastic. A bit rougher than I remember, but that might have been influenced by the *two* flats that I had. :mumble:
Picked up the fambly, drove home, and unpacked in the cold and rain.
No carnage this weekend......... although there was some near-carnage on Widowmaker Hill.
