Welcome Tony Ferlisi

Pretty much right off the bat, the amazing things happening with mountain biking in our region began to come into focus: from long-fostered community relationships, to fundamental on-the-ground trail projects to groundbreaking youth mountain bike programs.

Around The Block

After the trip I’d taken the previous year, I wasn’t prepared to spend more than a few hours at a time behind the wheel, so I charted a course around the block that would take me to visit some old friends and a few new riding destinations. First stop was Logan, UT where several good
