Our Discover MTB Team
Tracy Fonger
Owner. Manager. 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.
Eric Fonger
Manager. Coach. Eric is a dedicated coach always looking for rad trails to help his enduro team build confidence and skills. Eric’s passion for mountain biking is contagious. He is excited to work with athletes who are excited to improve their skills not only on his Team but also through private lessons. He has a way of helping riders feel confident and wiling to try new features as they progress on their journey of mountain biking.
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.
Dawson Fonger
Advanced Skills Coach. I started riding when I was 3, and I’ve been hooked ever since. 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!
Mitchell Ahlberg
Advanced Skills Coach. Mitchell helps coach our kids camps. He is a skilled rider and is on the Aspire Enduro Team. Mitchell is great at teaching fundamental skills as well as taking riders to the next level. Mitchell loves the chunky trails, going fast, and catching big air!
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.
