Friday 05.2.25 – Sunday 05.4.25

Why 2 Venues you ask?  Taking bikes from downtown Fruita out to 18 Rd to ride created several issues that decreased both the Participant and Vendor experience.  Primarily Wear and Tear on bikes due to loading and travel + much longer demo / wait times per rider due to the travel.  By staging the demo event at the 18 Rd Trailhead, Vendors are able to turn bikes around faster which allows participants more access to more bikes.  Win:Win.  Downtown Fruita still has much to offer and rebuilding the festival atmosphere with a broader Outdoor Recreation focus appeals to a wider variety of Vendors and Participants.  Collaborating with Desert Gravels CO2UT event only heightens the energy of both events.
