This Town Was Saved By Mountain Biking! (Fruita, Colorado)

[@mikehosfelt6016]

One reason I like your channel is your consistently showing the human interest side of wherever you might be. You can only watch so much of riding trails. keep up the good work.

[@moandhannahtravel]

Thank you ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Troy and OTE are absolutely OG. Rode Fruita fairly regularly from 98-2001, and went back about 7 years ago. The town and trail network have grown A LOT, but maintains a great vibe. Plus, now there’s great pizza at Hot Tomato!!!

I spent a week riding in Fruita in 2013. I was nursing a knee replacement and needed to get the darned thing working. I spent a little time in Over the Edge, but mostly rode. I returned to Minnesota with a much more cooperative knee. (and 2 cracked ribs.) Now, at age 71 I still love mountain biking. I'm ready for a trip back to Fruita next winter!

[@crjmoto]

Proud to call the Western Slope of CO home - such stellar riding here and close by

[@tessahankinson1504]

Mo and Hannah. Your channel is great, inspirational and full of youthful Joie d'vive When you're in your 60's I hope your still mountain biking like I am. Another joyful upload.

[@moandhannahtravel]

Thank you!!! And you’re awesome! You are inspiring!!

I first went to Fruita in the late 90s. The only parking was a turn around spot at the end of the road that only fit about 5 cars. The singletrack was about 10 inches wide. It was amazing. I haven't been there is 20 years. It's time to go back.

[@moandhannahtravel]

Wow! Yes things have definitely changed!

[@woongtv-naturehealing273]

The light in the sky while driving is beautiful. Especially, the scenery around the ridge is the best scene. I'm glad to see your great channel again. From Woongkham, a South Korean KZbinr. 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍

[@moandhannahtravel]

Thank you!!! And wow! Can we come visit you?!

[@dylandoudy]

YEW! Come on back, there are much more excellent trails that y’all missed!

[@mtbcyclist]

Having Troy in the video was cool. Liked hearing the backstory to that place. Been there twice, but need to go back. :)

[@moandhannahtravel]

It’s one of favorites!!

[@barathmuthusamy]

Weren't we all saved by mountain biking.

[@MTBryanH]

I was there BT (before Troy) and after Troy. Fruita was dying BT. Troy's shop and work towards trails and festivals turned it around quickly.

[@MrRichjdillon]

This trail is on my list, look forward to each video you guys put out!

[@moandhannahtravel]

Thank you 🙏☺️

[@anthonymuller3634]

Drove from Sioux Falls, SD for the Fat Tire back in ‘11 with a truckload of friends...easily the best trip of my life. Too many (free) drink tickets, losing wallet/phone/camera in a mud pit, breaking the rear triangle of my S-Works Enduro...lively time. Get your asses out and ride these trails!

[@lifebehindbars8504]

The shrooms were too much for ol troy boy 😜🤣🤯

[@moandhannahtravel]

😂😂😂😂😂 I don’t think he was on shrroms

[@keithjackson7746]

Troy is a legend - Hannah cracking up ... Priceless 👍💪🌞😎

[@kingdaniel69]

Hey Mo and Hannah, glad you're loving life and producing great vids. Peace out from Newcastle, NSW.

[@williammitchell8612]

Great video guys!

[@JimCockerham]

Wow! That looks like an amazing ride! I have no idea what Hannah was laughing at but it cracked me up :)

[@moandhannahtravel]

😂😂😂😂 I laughed every time I looked at Troy lol!

[@mrvwbug4423]

Awesome, I was out there last week, amazing trails :)

[@jimbailey9915]

Love Fruita !

[@Steve-O-NC]

Awesome Trails and Great Town. And of course Troy 👍🤘

[@MXD29]

Fruita sounds like the “Radiator Springs” of mountain biking. (That’s a Pixar Cars movie reference, for those who never saw the movie).

[@moandhannahtravel]

Hahaha yes!!!

[@MTBNewMexico]

That trail looked amazingly fun!!!!!! I totally want to hit that one day!

[@user-hd7fw6pv8d]

This is now on my list of MTB destinations! Well done glad you posted! Hey I heard Silverton was just approved to MTB trails on the north end of town. What a great MTB trip southwestern CO!!

[@moandhannahtravel]

Yes!! We just didn’t have quite enough time to visit them!!!

[@mentalbob8205]

Live in meas County for 7 years Nice little town

[@mrrims]

That dude's a legend!

[@stevebzz839]

Hannah is a reason alone to come there 🥰 👌

[@moandhannahtravel]

😂😂😂 thank you! But Mo is pretty awesome too 🤪🤪

[@stevebzz839]

@@moandhannahtravel hahaha true just not my type though .. 🤣😉😍

[@dudeonbike800]

Great video and into to Fuita and OTE for me. We've been to OTE Hurricane and South Lake Tahoe. Nice to "meet" the owner and get a good vibe about the store locations. Pretty cool that he expanded so far afield... Fruita's on my list. Along with Bend, Sun Valley, Whistler, Lago di Garda, Graubunden, Tsali, etc...! PS Bloody knee.... hmmm didn't we (about a million commenters) say something about knee pads?!!! PPS So, Troy lived???

[@coreymclernon]

Check out Todos Santos Mexico, they have a OTE bike shop there also, with great trails too!

[@moandhannahtravel]

We love the over the edge family!!! And hahaha!

[@NDemanuele1]

Another Awesome Video! I need to do an MTB trip! CO is first on my list. Mo, I notice you been riding the Ripley more than the Ripmo ( did you get rid of it?). The Ripley is a fun bike, you can get surgical with the new one!!

[@b.r.3232]

Soo Cool!!

[@74te27]

Did you find Troy ? I hope no missing person report. Awesome trails!

[@moandhannahtravel]

😂😂😂

[@havenoutdoors584]

Joe's Ridge and Zippity can be a bit sketch in the wind for sure.

[@moandhannahtravel]

Yes!! Hahah!!

[@8664antonio]

so sweet!

[@L4J20]

Troy was like, boing...boing...boing! What a ripper 🤘😃🤘

[@roryveronda9933]

That seems like an awesome place and not that far from Albuquerque NM

[@tonyroumonada]

Just curious, when was this filmed? I was there in late October my wife and kids in a rented van and we absolutely loved it! Some good green trails for the beginners that are still fun for more advanced riders, and plenty of advanced trails for when you can get away for a solo ride. We tried to go to Moab but it was so busy we turned back for a couple more nights in Fruita. Did not disappoint, especially with Grand Junction just down the road. Would recommend, 10 out of 10.

[@jtkyber]

I love Fruita

[@PM-xr5lt]

Hi great video I came home and told my wife let’s move to Fruita. Well I saw you riding the Ripley I ordered a Ripmo but I’m wondering should I have gotten the Ripley. Typical trails for me are like the San Juan Trail Laguna stuff what do you think. I think I’m gonna love it but sometimes I think with the Ripley I’d be more efficient but but the Ripmo Will be funner for me anyways thanks and say hi to Hannah for me OK bye

[@WesternSpiritCyclingMoab]

FRUITA! 😍😍😍

[@chrisalexander2889]

Amazing how is the trail in September ?

[@OutOfThisVan]

[@keithjackson7746]

I Could ride joe's ridge and PBR laps all day!

[@M30W07]

Did you lose Troy our did he lose you that is the question 🧐

[@OvertheedgeSports]

I’m telling ya... We had SO much fun and I was having so much fun hanging out with Mo & Hannah, I was SO out of breath. So much fun, let’s do it again

[@jacksondean5593]

So did you just leave that guy by himself on the mountain?

[@moandhannahtravel]

Hahahaha!! We almost did but no he has a meeting LOL!

[@cellphonenut]

M &,H its so awesome your bringing MTB history to us

[@moandhannahtravel]

[@OGMTB]

Did Hanna eat some edibles?

[@moandhannahtravel]

😂😂😂 hahaha no! Troy is just that funny!

[@havenoutdoors584]

Freaking Troy!

[@lonewolf30531]

Wear some dang pads girl .

[@moandhannahtravel]

Hahaha! I do sometimes. 😂😂😂😂

[@karlgutenberg2331]

Dude is not nearly as cool as he thinks he is, and I love how he'll lecture you to keep single track single but doesn't wear a helmet on that rolling traffic hazard.

[@cellphonenut]

Ditto me also Troy. 57. Can't wait til we get older to see how fast we will really be 🤔

[@cellphonenut]

How did Troy come up with the name over the edge for his bike shop I'm very curious about this

[@moandhannahtravel]

I think he has a video on it? Something about being close to the edge ? Lol we forgot 😂😂

[@cellphonenut]

@@moandhannahtravel silly

[@jddallager1699]

Maybe because if you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much space? :-) Hence Over the Edge?

[@cellphonenut]

Kids 😬 LoL
