Kelly A.5
Review for Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance, Seattle, WA, USA
I first came across Evergreen (BBTC) in 2006 at a volunteer day through work. I was interested in getting back into mountain biking so I thought I'd check out helping at a little place called the Collonade. Little did I know that I'd meet two people that day that would turn out to be good friends years later. From there I got interested in taking skills classes to improve my riding and helping out with projects at Duthie Hill and other volunteer opportunities. That eventually turned into becoming an Evergreen instructor for 4 years which lead to me moving into now my 5th year working with the board in various roles. Through this organization I have not only be able to make a difference in improving access to mountain biking in Washington but I've also met some of the best people I've crossed paths with in my life and formed some of the strongest friendships I've ever made. Additional side effect has been both of my kids have spent time as volunteer assistant instructors and my youngest is now going into being a paid coach while still a sophomore in high school and keeping on with her junior racing career!
Kelly we are so lucky you found us so many years ago! Thank you for the support and we are stoked to have your family working with us and carrying on the tradition of giving back to the trails and community that gives so much to us!
