As a continuation of yesterday’s post about mountain biking in Fruita, Colorado, here is a helmet-cam video of what we all considered to be the highlight of the entire trip. Kessel Run. Located in the Bookcliffs area of Fruita on 18-Road, Kessel Run is a rush. Although it’s not technically difficult, it still forces you to hone-in on your bike-handling skills on countless twists and turns through a banked creek bed.
Kessel Run is only 2.2 miles long and descends 300 vertical feet, so you can do laps over and over again. Many riders will climb 18-Road to reach the top of Kessel Run, but we found that going up Prime Cut and descending Kessel was a fun loop. You can also climb Kessel Run itself, but watch out for bikers dive bombing around the corners.
Enough with the words. The only way to experience Kessel Run short of riding it yourself, is to watch a video. Check it out below.
