Humboldt Farmers Market Logo

What: Train for this year’s Hardpack.  Make some new friends. Enjoy the beautiful Three Rivers Trail.
When: Saturday, May 11, 9:00 AM
Where: Meet at the first Humboldt Farmers’ Market, Parley Finch Plaza, Sumner Ave. Humboldt, IA 50548.  Look for the Three Rivers Trail sign at the Humboldt Hardpack Booth. 
Cost: None.
Preregistration: None
Who: Riders of all abilities are welcome. Children must be accompanied by a parent. Come with a friend or make some new ones.

All fitness levels are welcome.  Organizers are hoping for two groups of bikers for this first training ride.  Riders on the No Drop Team will stay with their group or wait for everyone to catch up every half mile or so.   Riders on the Out for Blood Team will push each other to ride a little harder and go farther.

A Humboldt Hardpack Team member will be on hand with trail maps and a suggested route.
