The Instructors

Mike, Tom, and Brent all started mountain biking on bikes with 26″ wheels, cantilever brakes, and elastomer spring forks with a whopping quarter inch of travel.  They have watched the sport grow, technology change, and are eager to share their passion for mountain biking with anyone who will listen.
