Zippety Do Dah - Fruita

Dan and I rode this trail the wrong way for the first half and then turned around and retraced our tracks - riding it the intended direction. Their was a sign that said "experts only" with a double black diamond warning. The video is of one of the steeper sections of the trail. It's steeper than it looks. Nice and smooth though, so mostly just a matter of hanging on.



Here's a pic from the trail going the wrong direction. The trail often followed the ridge line of the hills, sloping steeply on either side, which was fun and unique. Click image for larger view.


We rode "Holy Cross" in Grand Junction the next day and it was one of the funniest rides from a technical standpoint that I can remember. Highly recommended if you like rocks, drops and a continuous challenge.
