Last week we featured Olivia Helgerson’s 10 Tracks. This week we have her dad, Tharen Helgerson. Tharen is a SendTown coach (Ciclsimo and Devo programs) and a steady presence in the Northern Colorado mountain bike scene. He has been in Fort Collins since 2016 after moving here for his wife’s work with JBS Foods. He grew up in Decorah Iowa and now works as a land survey project manager with EPS Group Inc. Most of his riding is on his Kermit green Niner SIR9 and he is happiest on mountain bike trails, short track courses and gravel loops. His favorite trails are the Gowdy Golds starting CCW and putting them on repeat.  He usually listens to music on solo rides whether they are training days or recovery days. His taste was shaped by his hog farming parents, his high school and college years and now by his kids. Coffee-homemade double espressos times three.

His 10 Tracks appear below.
