"ZIPPITY (Do Dah)"

Zippity (in Fruita, Co., 8 mi.) trail, at the end of 18 Rd. is one good reason why western Colorado is the new desert mountain biking Eden. Moab, Utah is not exactly forgotten, but Fruita is gaining, gaining market share. As you ride up and down adobe hills, you are guaranteed to catch some air on this one. STAY OFF WHEN WET-YOU WILL BEND YOUR WHEELS AND RUIN THE TRAIL! If you are a beginner, give it a good look-over before trying it. On second thought, just try it. Hiking is part of biking, right? Just yield to the expert riders please. STAY ON THE TRAIL. Although the desert looks dead, many fragile entities are trying to survive here. Bike tires kill stuff. trails.mtbr.com & trailcentral.com are good web sites. Over the Edge is the bike shop to see in Fruita. The trail is free access on BLM land.

"PRIME CUT"

Prime Cut is a 2 1/2 mile (each way) out-and-back ride in the new mountain biking Mecca of Fruita, Colorado. Ride this trail in conjunction with any of the rides at the north end of 18 Road. This short trail, in the adobe foothills of the scenic Bookcliffs formation is a blast-off down hill, safe but fast. Some of the other trails in this area north of Fruita are expert tracks, but this one is for everyone. It can be made into a loop, if wanted, by climbing the uphill on 18 Rd. The trail is more fun though, even uphill. Then it's a blast down. I could ride this one up and down all the live long day. Like the area near I-70 exit 15 in Loma, no problem to ride different trails hour after hour here. mapmyride.com is a good web site. Over The Edge is the right bike shop in town. The trail is free access on BLM land.
