The drive from CB to Fruita and on to Moab is a cinch. It is hard to imagine that all these places are within a few hours drive from one another. Since this trip wasn't going to allow for any riding in Fruita/Lunch Loops I did have to at least stop and have Stromboli at The Hot Tomato. Mmmm, still the best...
Oh yeah, the other reason to go to Moab today? Outerbike. Yep, all those manufactures with there new bikes at Interbike head up to Moab to let the common folk ride them for the weekend. It requires that you have credentials to get in, and to grab any of the bikes for a ride for the day. I didn't happen to pay for any of those credentials, and headed out to the site (10 miles north of Moab) to see if I might to sneak a peak.
As it turns out, I walked through the gates at the right time. Feeding time. Seems after riding all day, everyone was more focused on food and beer instead of who had a badge. The folks manning the tents were a bit more perceptive, and weren't to keen on me checking things out. Oh well.
Never, have I seen so many bikes in one place. Seriously, there must have been three to four hundred bikes from over 30 manufactures. Mountain, cyclo-cross, road, pump and others were all there in there glory awaiting for someone to pick them out for a ride.Anyway, I would have to say that the $150 for three days of bikes, guided tours, food, beer, movies and other activities seems worth it. Next year, I will suggest it, and see if there are any takers.
No poor video today; just the pictures. Enjoy, and will post tomorrow after I devour The Whole Enchilada.
