My mountain biking journey began several years ago when I was introduced to the sport that would become the love of my life; the love that I wish I could have met 20 years ago. There is nothing that compares to the freedom and adventure that I have found on my mountain bike. I have since ridden trails in Lake Tahoe, Santa Cruz, Bend, Oregon and many in between. The various terrains and destinations have challenged me both mentally and physically; it's these challenges that have made me a proficient rider who is able to take on the most difficult of trails.
My love of trail riding led me to racing the TBF where not only did I find myself on the podium, but gave me additional confidence and improved endurance.
The friendships, health, and happiness generated form this sport is immeasurable which is why I have decided to share my passion with both children and adults of all ages. I am so excited to share the skills I have learned and the benefits of mountain biking with your child!
Background
I am an elementary school teacher, a mother of two mountain biking boys, and an avid mountain biker who has an unwavering passion for mountain biking and sharing the happiness that bikes bring to our lives. I have been in the field of education for 15 years, currently teach 3rd grade and love every minute I spend helping children grow academically and socially.

Background and Experience
My name is Logan DeJersey and I am 17 years old. I have been mountain biking my whole life and I've been coaching for 8 years. I fell in love with mountain biking because of the adventure every ride gives you, I think this is an experience everyone should have in their lifetime. Becoming a coach opened my eyes to so many more learning curves such as leadership and problem solving. I specialize in enduro and downhill and have done many races and have ridden all around the USA. I became a coach because I wanted to introduce the freedom in mountain biking and almost everyone I've coached fell in love with the beautiful sport. I will coach any age and any subject you want to learn.
