Description
Smooth and often challenging singletrack that climbs up to the ridge and the skirts along the top of the ridge with some cool views and steep descents. A thrilling ride anytime, but icing on the cake when ridden in conjunction with Prime Cut and/or The Kessel Run.

Review: This trail is awesome, and very ridable if you're not an expert. It will make you pay attention, however. Great views.

Review: This is a great downhill. Not as advanced as Zippedy, but more jumps, faster berms and well maintained. I took Prime Cut up and Joes' ridge down then Kessle Run the rest of the way.

Review: I rode this in conjunction with Prime Cut, Kessel Run, parts of the Edge Loop and Zippety and I have to say this was my favorite part of the whole ride. Challenging and satisfying climb followed by a fast, fun and thrilling downhill. Fairly short but definitely sweet.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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!!

Review: 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 usually prefer to make runs down the other two.* Review edited 10/7/2007

Review: 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.

Review: 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.
