IAN DOWLING
CO-PRESIDENT
Starting in my early 40s, I was a late bloomer to mountain biking. But once I tried it, mountain biking became a bit of an obsession for me. I've been fortunate to be involved with BTA since it's inaugural year in 2018. I'm incredibly proud of the network we've built here in Bethlehem, and I'm even more excited about what we will do in the future. I hope you enjoy the trails as much as I do.
MATTHEW TOMS
CO-PRESIDENT
Matthew has worked in traditional / experiential / outdoor education throughout Maine, Utah, Chile, Peru, the Dominican Republic, and New Hampshire for over 30 years. His true outdoor passions are whitewater kayaking, backcountry skiing, and mountain biking though he simply loves being outside regardless of the medium. He is one of the founding members of BTA and is so excited about the work that BTA does for the mountain biking community and the local community in general. His favorite trail in the BTA system is Shoulder Roll because it is stupid fun and because it starts in his backyard!
AYLA QUEIROGA
TREASURER
Ayla spent her childhood visiting the White Mountains and knew that one day, she would be fortunate to call it home. She has lived in Bethlehem for over ten years and is passionate about helping the community and using her skills to build up the North Country, specifically Bethlehem. She loves being outdoors from cycling, to hiking, to kayaking and anything in between. Professionally she works in Accounting & Finance, and she's appreciative to be able to bring those skills to the board as they plan for BTA's future. Her favorite BTA trail is Belly Roll.
CHELSEA MILLER
SECRETARY
Chelsea is an avid mountain biker. She spends her summers exploring all the local mountain bike spots and often traveling the world to find inspiration from some of the best trails. Though nothing rides quite as well as your home town trails. Chelsea’s love for mountain biking and the community brought her to the BTA board!
TRAVIS GREENLAW
BOARD MEMBER
Travis has lived in the Bethlehem area his whole life. He got into Mountain biking about 8 years ago for a fun way to stay in shape. It has turned into so much more. Now it is his passion that he is so excited to pass on to his kids. Seeing his 3 year old son loving biking as much as he does has been the best. Biking is a great way to spend time with friends and family and especially in our area. That is the reason he got involved with the Board of BTA. Travis wanted to help build this community and trail network so his kids can enjoy it one day too. Seeing where this network is now, I have no doubt they will be able to enjoy it for years to come!
STEVE BISSONNETTE
BOARD MEMBER
Steve Bissonnette has lived across the country. He has hiked many of our best peaks, snow boarded some of the most legendary lines, and biked the greatest trails in North America. As an outdoorsman Steve’s roots with BTA began with the early days of flagging the original trails and hand cutting sections of some of our now most popular trails.
PHILLIP RENTON
BOARD MEMBER
Phillip Renton is an avid cyclist who enjoys all adventure on two wheels. After moving to the North Country he spent most his time mountain biking outside the local area. Once shoulder roll was first opened, Phillip saw the full potential and excitement of what BTA could become. Now after years of growth, Phillip has come onto the board as the newest member.
