Stacy Gery - Owner, Ride Guide, Skills Instructor

I have long been an outdoor enthusiast, for the freedom, beauty, and grandeur I experience while in the mountains.  I have hiked in places around the globe and thru-hiked the AT, CT, and John Muir Trails in the United States. As a 5-year guide on the Colorado Trail, I have learned the logistics required to plan and operate trips outdoors. Mountain biking is my first love though!  I started riding about 20 years ago, when my brother bought me my first bike.  I am a certified teacher, hoping to teach the skills required to bring others the joy of mountain biking.  Let's RIDE!

Scott Jirous - Lead Ride Guide

My name is Scott, I have been living in Colorado Springs for all of my life, and have been riding mountain bikes ever since I was old enough to walk. I am an inbound freshman at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and graduated from Coronado High School in Colorado Springs this past spring.  Throughout the last year, I have raced in the Colorado high school league, and finished 8th overall in the state at the end of the season. I love riding because it allows me the freedom to explore parts of Colorado where no vehicle will ever travel, and I became a guide in order to share these experiences with others.

Sarah Lease - Ride Guide

​Hello, I am Sarah and I am excited to take all of you on a ride you will never forget! I have been mountain biking for the past five years, and am now teaching kids how to improve their abilities and confidence with Kids on Bikes. When I am not outside riding my Liv Hail, I am inside wrenching on bikes at the Pedal Station (Colorado Springs) and The Bike Shop (Grand Junction). Stacy and I have been on countless memorable rides and I am lucky to call her my favorite riding buddy! Mountain biking is about challenging myself on the ups and downs all while enjoying the ​spectacular views around me.

Baaron Pittenger - Ride Guide

My name is Baaron.  I like to slash through berms and jump off everything in sight.  Trails with great flow are my favorite.  I enjoy riding with people who are more skilled than me so I can learn from them.  During Spring Break this year I went to Moab and rode some gnarly trails.  I am racing the Big Mountain Enduro series this year and just completed my first race in Glorieta, NM.  My mom has taken up the sport and is learning from me.  Even though I’ve only recently started riding seriously, I can’t imagine not having mountain biking in my life!
