One of the coolest mountain bike rides you can do in South Lake Tahoe is to head up to Freel Pass!

South Lake Tahoe Trail Report: Trails in South Tahoe are melting out rapidly!! Its mountain bike season! Corral Trail is open all the way up and down, no trees, no mud, just awesome. Armstrong Connector is also open and snow free. However the upper flat portion is not quite ready. Sidewinder is running like summer with only a tree or two in the way. Cold Creek Trail is open and clear all the way up to the lower rock slab (mid way point where trail is closest to road) Van Sickle is clear well over a third of the way up from the bottom Tahoe Mountain is also clear and dry. We are open and here to help you have greatness.. Lets Ride!!!

Fruita Colorado, 1995… not much was happening in Fruita 20 Years ago. A rag-tag bunch of Mountain Bike Trail builders had opened a bike shop in this quiet and recently bankrupt town with a vision for building amazing Singletrack and taking on the notoriety of Moab Utah just an hour plus next door. Restoring the 100 year old building at 202 E. Aspen Ave in Fruita in the mronings and digging what was to become world-legendary Singletrack in the desert surrounding town. Fruita was a work of passion and persistance in the face of a few challenges. As many still tease today; "I see what ya did, opened a bike shop in a town with no money, no customers and no trails… brilliant"… well, no one ever described us as "well thought out", "passion" and an indominable persistance are more the likely words used to describe the brith of Fruita […]
