Day 1
In the 3rd week of April James, Anthony, Paul, Clifton and I set out for our annual 'Go West' trip, this time
to ride in Farmington, Fruita and Moab. Fruita is our main goal, we missed out on some good rides
2 years ago when bad weather moved in and the trails were too wet to ride. This time the weather forecast
looks excellent. We left on Friday the 13th (not without problems; from now on Anthony's nick-name
is Bender, after he killed James' rear wheel when he backed out of my driveway...) and headed West on
I40 for Tucumcari, NM. The next day we continued our drive North-West and did our first
ride (I call that day 1), on the
Road Apple Rally/Glade trail in Farmington...
