While in moab, drive the hour and a half and come ride in fruita!! (stop by the shop and say hi, maybe go for a ride)
you can camp free near many trails. ride porcupine, ride amasa back, ride the portal. slickrock is good, it's one of the "must do's" but it's not the most awesome.
breakfast at the love muffin, after ride dinner at pasta jays, burgers at milts.
oh, and all beer is fake/weak, so bring your own or come to colorado and stock up with real actual beer.
