President - Michele Kahne

Born and raised in the Chicagoland area, Michele has been riding bikes for as long as she can remember. She grew up adventuring outside, building bandit trails, and sending some seriously sketchy features on sketchy bikes with her friends. It was the best! After university, she moved to West Texas for work and then finally made her way to Fort Worth in 2013. She decided to buy her first real mountain bike to meet people, get outdoors, and for exercise. The best decision she ever made. The MTB community is the absolute best and she has made so many friends, memories, and gone on many adventures thanks to that decision. Michele is excited to act as the President for FWMBA. Her main goal is to advance the outreach of our club to local businesses and partners, continue growing our trail systems, and to continue to have fun events for our Fort Worth riders. Say hi when you see her on the trail!

Treasurer - Matt Reynolds

Hey, my name is Matt Reynolds. I was born in Fort Worth but have lived all over. I’ve been riding a bicycle since I was 3 years old. I rode a lot of BMX throughout my teenage years and into my 20’s. A buddy invited me to go ride mountain bikes back in 2011 and I’ve been hooked ever since! I love all of our trails in the north Texas area but the FWMBA trails have always been the ones I find myself on the most. I’m really excited to help out the club and see our trails and membership grow over the coming year. When I’m off the bike I enjoy spending time with my wife Lindsay and our pup Gypsy. I love good food, cold beer, punk rock, art and anything that involves two wheels. Hope to see you out on the trail soon!

Membership - Courtney Russo

Courtney moved to the Fort Worth area in 2018 and soon discovered her love for biking - a decision she considers one of the best she’s ever made! She bought her first mountain bike with the goal of making new friends, enjoying the outdoors and staying active. Seven years later, mountain biking has exceeded all expectations!

As the new Membership Coordinator for FWMBA, Courtney is excited to help grow the club, promote our incredible local trails and connect with fellow riders. You can find her on the trails, at FWMBA events or out and about with her loyal dog, Goldie!

Secretary - Jenn Lakanen

Jenn moved to Fort Worth from Alabama in 2014 but didn’t get her first hardtail until 2019. Once covid hit, a casual side hobby turned into a full fledged addiction on a full suspension bike. She met some mtb friends who talked her into trying enduro racing. She was hooked immediately and has thoroughly enjoyed racing in the TX/AR enduro series for a few years. She recently started dabbling in Cross Country racing, and also rides gravel from time to time. She loves seeing mtb friends conquer features they never thought possible. The best part about mountain biking is the community…she enjoys seeing familiar faces at all the FWMBA trails! Come say hi at the local races, she will most likely be there!
