Our time frame is actually quite flexible, so we may indeed push it back a little later in the spring. Thanks for the brew map link, that is awesome! Lots of good places to drink beer in CO! I'm actually headed to Denver for work this week as it turns out.Wayndar said:A friend in Fort Collins just sent me this- http://www.beerdrinkersguidetocolorado.com/beermap.html. Maybe there's an Arizona version?
Avoid the Fruita Fat Tire Fest unless you enjoy bumper-to-bumper trails, excessive parking lot posturing and a bike shop with an attitude. In fact, avoid Fruita altogather, it's not all that really. There's better stuff off the beaten track. Serious.Mullet3 said:I am planning on a late April trip to Fruita. I am going to the Betterride clinic April 23-25, bike around the area (Moab, Grand Junction) for a week, then finish it off with the Fruita Fat Tire Festival, April 29th through May 2nd.
St.George has quite a few great trails nearby and is usually warmer the Moab. I only had a few days on the trails but everything I rode was doable by kids that age- gooseberry mesa, stucki springs, and one that you get to by riding under I-15 through a corrugated metal pipe with some kind of tortoise preserve. I didn't hit JEM or Little Creek Mesa. My mantra when riding with kids is to take your time, stop and have a snack, take it slow and keep it fun for them. There's a great swimming pool community center too if the weather's bad.Bombin4X said:I'm also looking for suggestions for a Dad-Sons trip I am planning for 3/26 - 4/4. My boys are 13 and 10 and not real strong riders yet, so I want to make it a trip of riding, day hiking & exploring, possibly fishing and maybe some target plinking, etc. I am thinking about St. George and Zion area - have never camped there and wondering what the weather is typically like this time of year. Any other suggestions for other fun stuff to do?
Thanks
