Off to Fruita and Moab
I hope you had a great Thanskgiving. I have a lot to be thankful for: my Smootchie, a great place to live, two awesome puppies, sports I love, a career that’s fulfilling my dreams, blah, blah, blah.
This morning the Watts and I rode XC for 90 minutes then hit a local freeride spot. What a great day: sun, speed, corners, drops, food, family, friends, doggies.
Tomorrow morning I’m going on a moto adventure — Friday in Fruita; Saturday and Sunday in Moab. We’ll hit Slickrock, Porcupine Rim and all that stuff, probably at a pretty good clip. Add that to the thankful list. Stay tuned for a full report.
