It consisted of heading out after breakfast and arriving to the next hut by early afternoon. After a quick lunch and often a nap, we&#8217;d go for a stroll before dinner.\u00a0The riding was mostly fire roads, but there were opportunities to\u00a0 veer\u00a0onto alternative routes that were single-track.<\/p>\n<h2>Logistics<\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;\">In terms of logistics, we all flew into Green River, CO and met at the airport. We had reserved a large van to fit us and our boxed-up bicycles, but they ended up putting us into two rental cars. We dropped the rental cars off at the Telluride airport and rode our bikes back to town &#8211; very easy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;\">I assembled my bike and Annie&#8217;s. Chris and Sandra paid a local shop to assemble theirs. Doug and Heidi rented bikes from a local shop. They also arranged for a guy who ran a shuttle service to return them to Telluride after we arrived in Moab. The rest of us had a bike shop in Moab box and ship our bikes back to us. Not the cheapest option, but the most\u00a0convenient.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;\">Contact <a title=\"San Juan Huts\" href=\"http:\/\/sanjuanhuts.com\/mountain-bike-adventures\/\" target=\"_blank\">San Juan Huts<\/a> to reserve the huts.
