Instructors & Guides

I kept trying to write this in the third person but I just couldn't maintain it.  AB66MTB is my full time job through the biking season.  I coordinate the bookings, manage the website and ride bikes with people lots and lots! I have been riding mountain bikes in the area since the late 90's and have come to know and love all the trails. I am a PMBIA level 2 Instructor, comfortable working with all levels of riders. I belive in incremental learning, adjusting my communication style to fit the student and that better fundamentals lead to being the best rider you can be.

Bailey picked up biking at the ripe ol' age of 12 and hasn’t stopped since, some would say he still has the spunk of youth. He is a PMBIA Level 1 Mountain Bike Instructor and has been working for Alberta 66 since 2022, having vast knowledge of the Moose Mountain area, Bailey is the optimal guide for anyone.

Growing up in a mountain biking family, I have been a member of the community for as long as I can remember. I fell in love with the sport on my first ride, and that love has not faltered since! I started downhill racing at age 12 under the mentorship of my dad. Since Calgary did not have any support for aspiring racers, my family founded Drift Racing. Through this program, we offered race-specific coaching and sought to build a strong community of like-minded individuals. I began the program as an athlete, and have since transitioned into the assistant coach role.

Scotty loves being out in nature, either on his bike or hiking. We have been riding with him for many years and his good humor and relaxed approach to (seemingly) everything, makes every ride he is on better.  He is a PMBIA Level 1 Mountain Bike Instructor and certified Field Leader for hiking excursions, and has been leading guided hikes, and kayak tours in AZ, NV and Utah for the past 5 years. This in combination with his knowledge of the local cross country MTB trails translates to being the an ideal guide for your Mountain biking adventure, or a great instructor for bringing safety and control to your riding.

We got to know Andra over the 2019 season as she was a customer in some of our Multi Day Sessions and private sessions.  She got that love of mountain biking that infects so many of us and is now a PMBIA level 1 certified instructor, and is now one of our lead instructors.

Monica is a seasoned educator and instructor who specializes in youth and accessible programming. She says the best part about mountain biking is "being able to bring more people to love being in the mountains" and especially wants kids to understand how they can control and enjoy risk in developmentally healthy ways. (She may have a masters degree in this!)

Greg has a keen analytical eye and a boundless enthusiasm for Mountain Biking.  That combined with his PMBIA training and his years of riding makes for a very effective instructor.

Not to mention his East-Coast gift for the gab makes every session a great time!

Tara has been riding Mountain Bikes for 26 years - thanks to the influence of her uncle and cousins. She's raced a little bit of everything from XC to DH but really found her passion in Enduro Racing starting in 2013.
