MTB rent & ride along Rt 80?

I'm flying out to Frisco (mid April) and driving a U haul back to Boston.
Without
straying too far (30 minutes) from the highway, where could I rent a bike
and get in an intermediate ride? Remember now, I'm a sea level rider ;-)

Get your kicks on Route 66!

Are you nuts! You have the whole country at your disposal for the ride
home. If I did that, it would take me months to get home because
everyday would be a ride.

You mean Interstate 80? Never heard it called Route 80 before...

Assuming that's what you mean, all the parts of it I know (west end
of Utah, Wyo) will be non-thawed by mid-April.

Park City would be just the ticket, but the ski area probably won't
even be closed by then. Happy Jack between Laramie and Cheyenne
would be a possible, though I'm not sure where you'd rent the bike.
And it will be either still an XC Ski area in mid-April, or a mudball.

Nevada? (the only western state I have yet to visit)

What state? Texas? Or Colorado? Do they even have an airport in Frisco,
CO?

Isn't Breckenridge at or near Frisco? They have a private airport.
Besides that would be Route 70.

Hell, I don't know what highways are where or what Friscos have airports.
Actually, it looks like there is a US Route 80 in Frisco, TX.

There's a Frisco on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Great windsurfing
town, but the biking sucks.
AND, they have an airport of sorts !

Frisco is on I-70 in Summit County, Colorado. It sounds lie you need
to get busy with Google and do some research.

That's 'cos they don't allow 29ers there.

Once you're east of the continental divide, it'll all be downhill to the
Mississippi !

My $0.02 on your trip back.

Take I-80 from San Francisco to Salt Lake. I am not aware of any riding in
Nevada, but I am sure there would be some acceptable riding around Reno.

Once you get to Salt Lake, go south to Moab (about a 4-5 hour drive) and
spend a couple of days riding there. Many places to rent a bike and some of
the nicest MTB riding in the country. When you are ready to leave, (if ever)
drive back north to I-70 and then into Colorado. Stop at Fruita and spend
some time there.

After you are done in Fruita, had east again on I-70, over the Rocky
Mountains and to the Front Range of Colorado. (Denver area) You will have to
Google for shops and rides there.

April in Moab and Fruita should be perfect.

These suggestions don't line up with your "straying" from the highway, but
stops in Moab and Fruita would be worth the detour time.
