Pablo's was our choice for pizza as they do a good gluten-free. And the pulled pork at Rib City - mmmmmm.... We ran in the Monument the last time we were over there.HappyTrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651141743444721517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293265991702240213.post-4769291947536187112011-05-07T22:25:53.383-06:002011-05-07T22:25:53.383-06:00That looks like awesome fun.

The photo with the ribbon of trail around the canyon says it all; awesome, scenic singletrack. <br /><br />The sis' lives in Fruita so I've run a bit over there, but not nearly enough! Her husband bikes so he rode and I ran one time in the Monument (also great trails) and it was a blast. I'd beat him uphill, then he'd fly downhill. We started from the GJ side.<br /><br />Hot Tomato pizza and the coffe shop "downtown" (I use that term loosely when it comes to tiny Fruita) are both pretty good.mtnrunner2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974435572236740294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293265991702240213.post-84044997005681311992011-05-07T22:17:51.416-06:002011-05-07T22:17:51.416-06:00WOW WOW WOW!!

Thanks for the reference to Grand Mesa, site of a visit maybe later in the year. And you also mentioned the Kokopelli Trail. That is the course Desert Rats is ran on in June--right? My friends Jason and Lisa McGinnis, who you met when we were in Colorado Springs a couple of years back, are running Rats for the second time this year. Beautiful trailz for sure.<br /><br />We are very excited and happy that K is running well. That is such great news! Dana nuged me and said to tell you hi and she's happy that Kathleens running is coming around. :-)T Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859889997206055685noreply@blogger.com
