Our Team
Tracy Fonger
Manager. Head Coach. Mountain biking started out scary and intimidating for me. Through consistent skills practice I saw improvement and potential. I am excited to continue my growth in this awesome sport. I started coaching with NICA in 2018 and opened Discover MTB in the spring of 2022. I love watching the process of riders as they discover how to take what they learn in clinics and apply it to real life both on and off the bike.
Dawson Fonger
Fazzari Factory Enduro Team. Coach. I started riding when I was 3, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I currently race for Fezzari Bicycles. My future plans with biking involve qualifying and racing on the full EWS (Enduro World Series) circuit. I enjoy providing as much value as I can for not only the everyday bike rider but also for the aspiring racer or dedicated athlete. I look forward to meeting you!
Annette Astin
Head Coach. I am a mom of five crazy kids. I taught high school, coached HS swimming, and now I teach mountain biking. I love to mountain bike because there is always an obstacle to overcome. I love being outside, flowy downhills, and the challenge of climbing up. I love learning and watching others learn and improve.
Nathan Astin
Coach. Nathan helps coach our kids camps. He is a skilled rider and is on his high school cross country team as well as the Aspire enduro team. Nathan is great at teaching fundamental skills as well as taking riders to the next level. Nathan loves the chunky trails and going fast!
Kayla Ahlberg
Assistant Coach. I absolutely love mountain biking (and my bike of course). I loved biking the moment I started riding. I currently ride for Aspire and my high school team. The thing I love most about biking is how much there is to learn and grow. I enjoy learning new things and seeing how I can improve by consistently practicing. Biking isn’t just something I do, it is something I live for!
Aspen Fonger
Assistant Coach. I’m 15 years old, my favorite color is purple, I love chocolate, listening to music on my speaker, and being on my bike! I love mountain biking because it’s so fun to be outside. I love working hard and having fun with my friends! I would stay on my bike all day of I could! I’m very excited to be coaching this year and hope I’ll get to know you all!
Aspen races on Aspires XC and Enduro teams.
Erin Astin
Assistant Coach. Erin is the best MTB cheerleader you will ever have! She races cross country with Aspire and her high school NICA team. She is always working on her gravity skills and loves to ride downhill fast.
