"This was our best trip ever with Western Spirit. I had a permanent grin with all those whoops." - Dennis Hahn, April 2006

Fruita, Colorado is a town that is becoming one of the most well known places in the world to ride rip roaring singletrack trails alongside some of the most spectacular desert scenery imaginable! Many of the trails in Fruita ride tangent to the spectacular Colorado River, offering picturesque pit stops in between the awesome climbs and adrenaline pumping downhills. From scenic Mary's Loop, to the hair-raising ups and downs of Chutes and Ladders, there is a ride here for every rider and ability.

 

Mary's Loop - One of the better known beginner to moderate rides in Fruita is Mary's Loop which is about 6 miles west of Fruita. This ride offers a nice mix of singletrack and wider doubletrack trails. Mary's Loop offers unsurpassed views of the mighty Colorado River from high above. There are a few points with steep drop-offs during the ride that you'll want to be extra careful. If you are afraid of heights, it is best to walk your bike through these areas. The ride takes about 2 hours, and is accessed from the Loma Exit.

As with most things, Fruita can be a whole lot more fun with a guide. Why not have Western Spirit Cycling cook your meals, offer you a cold one at the end of the ride, and make sure you are covered every mile along the way with support vehicles, a healthy dose of humor and insight, and even a top of the line bike rental? Western Spirit guides have been riding and playing in the Fruita area since the beginning, so we know where the fun stuff is? Our clients often come back year after year to have the time of their lives on two wheels.
