Pre-ride at the Kokopelli Trails

Osprey Packs flew the flag over the weekend at the Fruita Fat Tire Festival in Fruita, Colorado. After a difficult start on Thursday evening when a brief storm blew through with winds approaching 80 mph, the remainder of the weekend brought perfect mountain biking weather and a fantastic festival. Thanks to all who participated in the Osprey festivities which included, Rippin Chix MTB skills clinics, Osprey hydration pack demos, a heated Fix-A-Flat competition, plentiful schwag giveaways and special deals through local Osprey retailers.

Fruita pulled out all of the stops with live music in the park, a New Belgium beer tent, a great selection of bicycles to test out, pancake breakfast and other exciting activities. Between Fruita and Grand Junction there are so many amazing single track trails that a weekend was not near enough time to explore all the opportunities. We look forward to coming back next year.

Fruita, Colorado provided a venue for the second stop on the 2011 Osprey Bike Pack Demo Tour. In its 16th year of existence, the Fruita Fat Tire Festival has proven to have a successful formula of business mixed with fun, with a much higher emphasis on the FUN!

Osprey Packs partook in the buzz by having our fabulous new line of hydration packs available for riders to demo and put to their own test on the world famous single track trails of Fruita. “Try It Before You Buy It” gets us instant feedback that keeps us constantly in touch with what users like and don’t like.
