A Fruita Roadtrip, Part III, Moore Fun than should be legal (41 posts)
|  A Fruita Roadtrip, Part III, Moore Fun than should be legal | Pete.
Apr 29, 2003 12:33 PM | | We hooked up with a number of folks for a East to West run up and over Moore fun.
The view from the top was just as lame as always. |
| brianc on the climb | Pete.
Apr 29, 2003 12:34 PM | | There were a few rocks. |
| Kristian on the climb | Pete.
Apr 29, 2003 12:35 PM | | WHAT? |
| Hey bc | ScottN
Apr 29, 2003 1:22 PM | | How did you like that ride? I rode it W to E when I was there in Oct. Very sweet trail, an new fave.

| It was amazing. | brianc
Apr 29, 2003 1:33 PM | | It has to be on of the best trails I've ever ridden! well tried to ride that is. I cleaned a lot of stuff I never would have thought I'd ride. Even managed the first good sratch on my loco on that ride. I stacked the side of my frame on the side of a rock that made a very tight S-turn. It's a nice memory. The exposure gave me the heebeejeebees. Towards the end the last DH to Steve's trail just blew my mind. Rich made the move and cleaned the section that only Knolly has done that we know of. amazing!
And what made that day in Fruita even better is this was just the morning ride. in the afternoon we rode the Ribbon! What a day.
How have you been? |
| Kristian on a brief down on the way up top | Pete.
Apr 29, 2003 12:36 PM | | |
| Kristian was attacked in the parking lot | Pete.
Apr 29, 2003 12:38 PM | | ...by a herd of phisheads who proceeded to dress him. |
| Can't imagine anyone dressing that badly | JimC.
Apr 29, 2003 12:44 PM | | what was he thinking, he's from BC or something? Great shots Pete, Damn great shots. Jim |

Apr 29, 2003 12:43 PM | | ...ass crack.
That thing shocked a bunch of people on various rides. |
| EricDaBrown on top. | Pete.
Apr 29, 2003 12:47 PM | | While regrouping at the top some folks played around ona ledge next to THE ledge.
(note: while it has not been proven that EricDaBorn's effluent was responsible for the issue that impacted many folks, the moniker appears to have stuck, for better or worse) |
| Pete, you better try and get this in a Mag! | brianc
Apr 29, 2003 12:51 PM | | Fantastic shot.

| Paging EricDaBrown (nice shot Pete) | JimC.
Apr 29, 2003 2:51 PM | | how the FAQ do you get your Dainese legs to stay up? Mine slip down when I pedal, regardless of how I adjust the straps. Which I don't mind for feel, but the kneecaps get exposed.

| Paging EricDaBrown (nice shot Pete) | EricTheRed
Apr 29, 2003 7:59 PM | | JimC: DFL (dumb luck) i guess. My real problem is i fall where i'm not wearing pads, or in the parking lot =-).
Pete: Can you send me a larger version(~2MB)? eric_b_fry at yahoo dot com
FFTF, Kevin's house attendees: For the record that incident was not a result of my actions.

Apr 29, 2003 3:09 PM | | looks like one hell of a trip. Sitting here on pain pills after just having 3 wisdom teeth pulled this morning.

Cheers. |
