At one of his favorite spots to ride, junior Hunter Grander rides on a downhill trail at Bluff View Park.

Hunter Grander, sophomore, is one of the many area mountain bikers who loves to take advantage of the riding trails at Bluff View Park which is in Wildwood. Right along the Meramec River, improvements and additions to the riding trails and hub were done by St. Louis County Parks and Recreation, the city of Wildwood and the Gateway Off-Road Cyclists (GORC), a local non-profit group that has completed the work through a massive volunteer effort and fundraisers. Since Grander lives so close to the trail, he rides there very often.
