| Glenn Graham mountainbikeglenn@hotmail.com I'm a country boy who grew up in a family of hard working loggers on the Olympic Peninsula. I discovered mountain biking 10 years ago. I've raced DH and XC from Port Angeles, WA to Mt Hood, OR. I'm an active trail work volunteer and I'm into anything that helps promote our fine sport. I race on the ragged edge, because without racing on it I wouldn't know where it was! |
| Bernie Miller bernardmiller@comcast.net I am 41. I have been riding and racing bikes, in one form or another, for 28 years. I started in BMX. From there, I did triathlons on my road bike. In college, I did a local training road race and did quite well. So the local race team asked me to join. The high point of my road-racing career was qualifying for the 1988 Olympic trials in two events. In 1989, I could not resist the calling of the single-track trails and started racing mountain bikes. I have been racing mountain bikes ever since. My goals for the the season are to win the Indie point series in the 40-49 year old expert class, to defend my Capitol Forest Super-D title, have fun, make friends, and promote this fine sport. |
| Jamey Poelker jpoelker@hotmail.com I'm 34 years old and I'm in my second honeymoon with mountain biking. I was racing mountain bikes in Washington back when the races had trials, downhill and XC in the same weekend...and we were racing all events on the same bike. What brought me back to the knobbies are a few factors 1) good friend's encouragement 2) equipment, this recent generation of bikes is unbelievable 3) FOCF and the Capitol Forest mtb community, lots of solid riders, positive people and good times. I'm looking forward to throwing down at some regional XC and DH races in 08'. I'll be the crazy one you aren't quite sure about! |
| Matt Jagger jagger@gl6racing.com I'm 27 years old and have been riding for 10 years. My roots are in downhill racing but I have recently changed my focus to endurance downhill racing and super d style events. My primary goal for the season is to ride as much as I can, and promote a positive image for this sport by practicing proper trail etiquette and giving back to the sport that has given me so much, encouraging others to follow. As far as racing goals, the three races I'm focusing on most are the Mt. Hood spring fling downhill, the Ashland 12 mile super d, and of course the Downieville Classic. I'm going to do some early season XC racing to get ready for those three events. I also plan on making every FOCF volunteer trail work day this year, and help keep my local riding area (Capitol Forest) in primo shape. I'm super stoked to be part of this team, and be a part of this local riding community. |
| Jeff Haymes Spin_city99@hotmai.com Started mountain biking on a cheap steel REI House Brand bike and was totally stoked from the very first time I did it, even though I was just riding old blown out logging roads around the town of Forks out on the coast. After a couple of years I decided to try my first cross country mountain bike race in Winthrop (1995 - the old Stiff Wick Productions crew, still have the T-Shirt) and thought it was pretty cool. I next decided to try the Downhill racing scene when it was starting to take off around 1997 and discovered another method of emptying my wallet on tweaky, exotic, high-maintenance, absurdly priced cycling technology. I've been racing both downhill and cross country ever since, and only plan to give it up when I get packed out in a Pine Box. I'm really excited to be a part of the new GL6/Joyride racing team. It's a great bunch of guys, backed by a great bike shop (Joyride) and bike brand (Specialized). |

| Matthieu Denuelle mdenuelle@hotmail.com I am 36 years old and have been mountain biking on and off for 16 years. I recently got reacquainted with Mountain Biking my family and I moved from Virginia to Washington State . I have raced a few cross country races and some 24 hours races back East. The atmosphere at Capitol Forest reinvigorated me to race again and expand my horizons to Downhill and Super Ds as well. Having such a wonderful place like Capitol Forest near by and a great group of friends to learn and feed from makes it an ideal situation. I am looking forward to the season with new racing experiences in XC, Super D's, and DH especially having my 2 kids and wife on the sideline to cheer for our team. |

| John Curtin curtinjc@comcast.net I’m 47 years old. I’ve been riding for most of my life, from a road ride to Spokane for Expo ’74 to mountain biking today. What has re-ignited my passion for riding was the discovery of Capital Forest and the people who ride there, and the opportunity to give back with the FOCF. I’m looking forward to challenging myself with a healthy schedule of XC racing this year |
