Fruita MTB Trip May 08

Marc, Pete, Jerry, Marshall and I rode some of Moab and Fruita's sweet single track, including Porcupine Rim, Lions, Troy Built, Mack Ridge, Moore Fun, Mary's, Prime Cut, Joe's Ridge, Chutes and Ladders, and the Great Western Rim Trail. There were trills and spills and our MSPs (Marino Saturation Point) were close to being triggered, but I think everyone went home happy.
Thanks to Pete for driving ALL the way there and ALL the way back, Marc for cat herding duty, Jerry for entertainment and Marshall for joining us from Prescott.
