Friday morning i meet up with Richard from work at the Cranston fire station and we car pooled up to Hurkey creek for some single tracking nice and warm out good 17 mile ride and allot of fun playing around on the rock sections, we ended up riding for about 2.5 hrs before Richard started to cramp up.
