Erik Hinke

Erik started mountain biking in the late 80s in and around River Falls and then Duluth, picked up Nordic skiing and then many years passed with no mountain biking love.  He rediscovered his love for the sport when his son joined the team (thank you Cole) and jumped in to help coach. He spends a lot of time on his road bike too and enjoys commuting as a way of getting out of the car and into nature. Erik loves spreading the joy of getting on a bike and shredding it on the trails!
