GJ is a good choice. Economy is picking up, housing isn't atricious yet and you get the benefit of living in a city without having to deal with all of the BS in Denver. Fruita has some killer single-track and Moab isn't that long of a drive. Gets a tad warm in the summer but not bitter cold in the winter. The Mesa is supposed to have awesome riding (never been there). If I could find a job down there I would move in a heartbeat.
