Quote of the day…” I rode the Hardwick trails on Friday and I was blown away by how brilliant they are. I’ve ridden mountain bikes for 35 years and have ridden all over the country and those trails are truly some of the best! They are challenging but doable…it’s a similar experience to riding in Moab. As I was riding I kept saying to myself I have to thank whoever is behind these trails!”
