Bound for Fruita

Tap, tap, tap... is this thing turned on?

We are breaking our silence to announce our planned trip to Fruita, Colorado for the Fruita Fat Tire Festival. The Earthlings will reunite for a 4-5 day extravaganza of desert mountain bike riding. This event is not a race, but an excuse to suck down some fresh air, ride a lot and drink tremendous amounts of high quality beer.

Oh wait... there is a race involved: the Clunker Crit. This race is all about costumes and bikes with major funk. Check out the video.

The Fat Tire Festival has occurred annually for some 12 years and enjoys a widely-held reputation as a great time. Interestingly enough, Fruita is only 100 miles or so from Moab, the site of our last (mis)adventure.
