Toni Bain
Treasurer

Started in the accounting profession and riding mountain bikes at the end of the 1980s.  Volunteered on the first bike patrol in Chino Hills State Park in Southern California, maintaining trails, giving directions and offering help to riders. She relocated to Southern Utah in 1993, and has been running her accounting business and recreating in the area since that time. Most of our trails did not exist in those early years here, so she has watched and participated in the evolution of mountain biking in Southern Utah. An avid mountain biker, her goal is to help maintain and expand our great trails, while enjoying them as often as possible.
