Tree In The Heat

June 25, 2016

The Midwest is a strange place… The winters can be brutally cold and the summers can be insanely hot. Now that the summer is in full effect, the sessions in the heat have been going down. Here’s a look at a laid back session some of the Tree Bicycle Co. got in at the O’Fallon park!

“Tribe riders Habo Gutierrez, Jack O’Leary, and TM Nathan Wallace survive the Midwestern heat in a quick day edit from the O’Fallon, IL park.
