President
I can truly say that mountain biking and cycling of all different kinds have been my passion for many years now. I've worked in our local bike shops for over 11 years and have been involved in many community biking events to share this great hobby and sport. I love our little corner of Alberta and all the great trails our three different areas have to offer. I am also a mountain bike instructor and love to teach people how to ride to enjoy biking even more. This year I have decided to step up and dedicate more of my time to our local bike club and help Allison with our Redcliff trails!
Favorite Local Trails: Old School (Redcliff), Iron Leg (Medicine Hat) & Hoser (Elkwater)

Assisting Redcliff
Hi, I’m Janine. I’m new to the Board this year and am assisting Allison and with the Redcliff trails! I’m excited to be a part of this community of bike enthusiasts who are collaborating to create and maintain such an amazing area for biking in our little corner of Alberta! I’m a born and raised Hatter. I fell in love with mountain biking in 2016 when I rode Lazy Lizard in Fernie on my circa 1995 hardtail. A few years and bike upgrades later, I’m still having a blast! Biking is just one of the ways I get to play in the dirt. I’m into all things construction and I absolutely love my career as partner in a concrete foundation company based out of Redcliff. While I’m game for a winter fat tire ride, I prefer summer weather and any free time I have that’s not on my bike is spent hiking, camping, paddle boarding, or with a cup of coffee and a book.

Secretary
Hi there! I’m Susan and am new to the Board in the Secretary role as of November 2024. I’ve been a member of 670 for many years and have been enjoying mountain biking off and on since the early 90s! Yup, old school! I moved to Medicine Hat almost 20 years ago and have loved seeing the mountain bike community and trail system develop. We truly do enjoy a diversity of trails - from the semi-arid coulee trails of Redcliff to the timbered tracks of Elkwater. We’re so fortunate to have these gems in this corner of the province! I joined the Board because of the 670 community and my belief that facilitating time spent outdoors is important to our well-being.

Treasurer
Hi! I'm Donita and I'm new to the mountain biking world. I was born and raised in Didsbury, Alberta. Growing up I was involved in volleyball, baseball and skiing. I moved to Medicine Hat in 1990 and I love it here. I started cycling in 2017 and mountain biking in 2023. I am still learning to “Hold on and ride it out!” but I really love the sport and the people you meet every year. This is my first year on the 670 board and I'm serving as the treasurer.
