Fruita bike race bringing 1,200 riders to town

On May 22, more than 1,000 cyclists are expected to take on the hills and canyons crossed by gravel roads in the desert between Fruita and Utah, but the effort to get the new event to the starting line has had its own ups and downs. When Morgan Murri, founder of Desert Gravel, the company organizing the event, started planning his Colorado-to-Utah race, called Co2uT, the COVID-19 pandemic was still fresh. He was planning for an October 2020 date and started signing people up on June 1 of last year. “Right as we were trying to develop this buzz and this idea behind it, as we’re getting energy, COVID is just crushing the world,” Murri said.

Fruita raising funds for roundabout art

Artwork is under construction for the two roundabouts near the entrance of Fruita off Interstate 70, highlighting the past and present culture of the area. In addition, fundraising is underway to complete four additional sculptures. The artwork, which is being created by Jeff Bates, is part of an effort by the city of Fruita and its Arts and Culture Board to spruce up those roundabouts with new landscaping and sculptures. The city will break ground on the landscaping and pedestals for the artwork in mid-February. The first two sculptures are set to be installed in early April. “The roundabouts have been in place for 10 or 12 years,” Fruita Parks and Recreation Director Ture Nycum said. “It’s been one of those constant pieces of feedback that we get from our community — do something about the roundabouts. What the Arts and Culture Board has been able to do to get this going is just tremendous. They deserve a ton of credit for all they have done.”
