JD (and other locals to Moab and Fruita)

Just wondering if you'll be around between April 26th-28th and would like to hook up for
some riding?

I hadn't realized it was the same weekend as FFTF (will you be there, or avoiding it?) but, since
none of us who will be heading over there have been to that, I don't think it really bothers any of
us too much. Of course, it would be nice to have some of the trails to ourselves but, there's really
no other weekends we can make it due to prior commitments for many of us. We'll probably stop by
FFTF to check it out since it looks like Fruita is only a couple hours from Moab and we'll have 3
days to ride.

Can you recommend any good brewpubs near Moab or Fruita?

I'll be working, both for the FFTF and at my reg'lar job. I have the 28th off, but after guiding
large groups at the FFTF, I'll probably not want to guide 15 people.

Moab has no good beer, it's all 3.2% beer in UT, or as Pete calls it, brown water. Make sure you
bring your own beer into UT, but don't let the Man catch you drinking real beer without their little
tax sticker on it. Grand Junction has the Rockslide, the beer is OK and the food is good.

Thanks for the info, JD.

And it looks like a few people are dropping from the trip. Probably have closer to 8 people. Still a
crowd though, but it should be fun.

Since FFTF is that weekend as well, now some of us are considering racing it as well.

I'll probably be riding the Hartman Rocks trails all by myself that weekend if you're interested in
a 2.5 hour detour. Fruita is great but I avoid crowds if I can.

1) Utah beer .... You don't buy it you just rent it.

2) The Moab Pistol club ... Drink 'til midnight ... piss 'til dawn.

And dont forget the blue laws, or the bootlegging laws.

You freak. I hope you're getting some miles in. I still see snow up high from the Shack, but recon
up high is a few weeks around the corner. September is getting closer.

Aye. Have this coming week off. Think I'll head back to Sedona where my previous trip was a washout.
It snowed, rained, and sleeted the three days I was there. The two shops I checked in at said the
trails were way too wet. So, I taxied around mom-in-law and wife. Ate too much. Drank too much (Oak
Creek Brewery, yum). Sat around too much. It was good. Tucson might be a good ride as well. Just a
couple of day trips to wash work out of my head.

Kickass. Get out of that rat race for a few days and breathe in the air. It cures what ails you.
