It is full on here in the Grand Valley. Every spring, every mountain biker, runner, hiker and camping enthusiast from around the state and Utah flock to the Grand Junction/Fruita area to get a taste of our early summer like weather. The trails are dry, the days warm and nights are cool.

I got to spend this last weekend with the Honey Stinger mountain bike team at their annual spring team camp. I have been joining the crew now for four years, and every year is a blast. New and old friends get together for a weekend of camping and riding bikes. Here is a small taste of what we got ourselves into this last weekend.
