Thank Fruita, Colorado's warm, arid climate for the fact that come April, trails are already mud-free and the weather's balmy. The Fruita Fat Tire Festival, held April 23-26, is the unofficial kick-off to bike season and involves races, group rides, and, naturally, plenty of ale and live bands. Fruita is known for its slim, fast singletrack. Stop by Over the Edge Sports, the de facto biking hub, to rent wheels and gather beta, and then explore the Kokopelli's Trail area, which features 40-plus miles of classic Fruita singletrack.
