About

C.R.E.C. is Twin Cities commercial real estate people who ride mountain bikes together. Ben Bastian and Kelsey Hornig started it in 2021 as an alternative to networking on the golf course: monthly trail rides, skills clinics, a couple of destination trips a year, and 100+ riders from 75+ companies so far.

Each season we also wrench on bikes with Free Bikes 4 Kidz Minnesota, so kids who need a bike get one. Everyone in the industry is welcome, whatever your pace. @cre_cyclists on Instagram.
