HopNews is passionate about mountain biking, and our official mascot, Vinny Bagga Donuts, shares our enthusiasm. Vinny loves to run alongside us as we ride through the woods.

Yesterday, we rode at the beautiful West Hill Dam in Uxbridge, one of our favorite spots. There, we caught up with two-year-old Colson Gallagher and his dad, Phillip Gallagher, a firefighter from Milford. Colson’s mother also serves as a police officer in Milford.

We met Colson for the first time last fall. He was perched on his dad’s bike and having the time of his life. What impressed us most was seeing Colson again about an hour and a half later, still enjoying every moment.

This is what “raising them right” looks like!
