Chad Hunter was the original bike fanatic who started the rest of us doing this. Chad created his own custom dual-suspension bike. He raced singlespeed in the Intermountain Cup. His favorite trail is the Deer Creek South Fork. A couple of years ago, his K2 dream bike took a 150-foot flight off the cliffs of the Portal Trail. That, plus work, plus family, has slowed his biking activities.

Chad is an engineer employed at Kennekott. Chad lives in Highland with his wife Julie and four children.
