The Hardpack 30 is back after a one-year hiatus. This year’s ride is on September 16, starting at 9:00 AM.  It starts and ends at TractorLift Brewery.  Riders will bike the wonderful Three Rivers Trail to Thor and back, about 24 miles.

Riders will have the opportunity to fuel up before, during and after the ride. Bolt Nutrition will be open early for the start of the ride. In Thor at the turn around point, Dom’s Catering will provide food for purchase. Dom’s can only accept cash.  Unkie’s will have their bar open for business.  After the ride, Humboldt downtown businesses will provide a wide variety of fare for riders.

The Hardpack 30 team is very pleased with the level of support and interest in the community.  Many businesses have sponsored the ride, printed promotional materials, and given items for the raffle. Humboldt County Memorial Hospital will provide an ambulance crew to support the riders.

Businesses can still sponsor the ride.  Contact Larry Beilke at TractorLift or email info@hardpack30.com.

On the afternoon of the ride, Pheasants Forever is holding a raffle in conjunction with the ride. Among the many great items being raffled is a new Trek hybrid bicycle.  You need not be present to win.  Get your tickets at TractorLift or email raffle@hardpack30.com <mailto:raffle@hardpack30.com>  to find out how to purchase raffle tickets from a Pheasants Forever member.
