Sometimes, even though you've lived in an area for a while, there
are things you've never done, even though they are right near your
home. One of those things is the Fruita Fat Tire Festival. Fruita
is one of the largest meccas of mountain biking in the nation, if
not the world. I used to mountain bike quite a bit in the Chicago
area and would like to start again, so it was quite interesting to
check out the booths of the different manufacturers. We visited
during the middle of the day, so there weren't many riders about,
but it was fun to stroll the festival grounds regardless. We also
took time to visit the new Chow Down Pet Supplies on Aspen Street
as well as Turn The Page used book store. It was a beautiful day
to be out.
