The Yawp Company Goes to Fruita

Did you know that Yawp has a mountain bike (dis)organization? If you didn't, you can read all about it here. We recently made it out to Fruita for a weekend of bikes, beer, pizza, and bad decisions. Despite a little rain on Friday night and Saturday morning, each of our objectives were met:

1. Ride bikes.

2. Drink beer.

3. Have fun.

The first night was cold and rainy and the second was cold and windy. We spent quite a bit of time huddled around a small charcoal fire, which was all our campground allowed. We took turns melting our shoes against the charcoal bbq grill, trying to keep our toes warm. As is often the case, good people had good times despite weather that was not so good. We here at Yawp would like to take a second to thank those of you in the Company who made some cold camping into a warm memory.

We spent more time riding bikes than taking pictures, but we did snap a few. 

It was mid-May, and there was no joy in Mudville. 

We arrived in Fruita. None of us had seen our shadows in weeks.

The best route from point A to B is through all other points.

Mountain biking is pretty meh.

Bike + rain pants + water bowl = doggie kennel. 

Just some prize show chickens at a campground.

Dan and Justin make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. 

An ordinary parking lot is transformed by the healing power of beer.

The Yawp Company will be headed to Eagle in late June when the monsoons have passed. Perhaps we'll see you there.

Also, thanks to all of our sponsors: Joyride Brewing, Peak Graphics, Resilience Acupuncture, Surly Bikes, and Premium Dirtbag.
