Not exactly the wildest ride out here in Fruita, and definitely not one for scenery. I was a bit disappointed, the trails were heavily rutted (May 09) and beat me up. Some of the signs were broken and the trail was difficult to follow at times.

Funfreakintastic! Not a long trail but guaranteed to keep you smilin'. Smooth and fast with great views. Ride it a few times in a row for that rollercoaster ride sensation.

Fantastic 'wake you up and get your day started' type of run - short but very sweet.

I agree with skibum, Zippety is the most fun you can have with your pants on and the last few miles of Kessell's run are bermed ST to die for. But, Joe's is also a blast and shouldn't be skipped. Just make another loop up prime cut and try this one on for size.

Similar Trail: Prime cut, Joe's to Kessel, back up prime cut and down Zippety!!

This is a great trail, but it does suffer from geography as it's one of three parallel runs from the top of the book cliffs area. To the west is Zippity Doo Dah, which is twice as steep, twice as long, twice as exposed, and twice the adrenaline rush. To the east is Kessel run, which has the best flowy singletrack on the planet. Joe's may provide comfortable middle ground for some, but I prefer to make runs down the other two.

The twisting at the begining of the ride was awesome, followed by the etremely fun ridge riding. There are a few few fun rocky sections. The best 3 mile ride I have ever been on.

This is a sweet but short piece of curvacous singletrack. A must do.

We connected this trail up to Prime Cut by riding up P.C. and then across Joe's and down to the trailhead. What a blast! This is a great trail, with fast descents, quick climbs, some hairy ridge running. There was just enough technical spots to keep you on your toes. The trail was a bit washed out and rutted from some recent storms, but it was still a great ride.
