Eric Sivers
eric@montanabicycleguild.org

Eric is the O.G. enduro rider.  Seriously.  He’s got the high school senior photos to prove it.  Eric sits on the Montana High Divide Trails Group as the MBG representative, as well as being a member of the City of Helena’s HOLMAC.  He’s actively involved with all the public processes that are keeping you able to ride bikes in old and new locations. He’s also the Trailforks admin for this area.  Oh, he’s also El President of the MBG and Chairman of the MBG Board.

TJ Lehman
tj@montanabicycleguild.org

TJ is the MBG’s treasurer and one of the Race Directors of the Montana Enduro Series.  He’s also responsible for interior design for the office.  I think this one time he rode his bike into a berm and crashed and then couldn’t walk for a while.  And it was all because he didn’t check his air pressure hard enough.

Tony Zammit
tony@montanabicycleguild.org

Tony is the other Race Director of the Montana Enduro Series.  He also works as a race photographer, manages the MBG and MES websites, and he’s even done a TEDx Talk about the MBG.  Tony spent a year getting up at 2 am in order to attend meetings via Skype from Ireland while he followed his heart chasing a girl. The good news: Tony got the girl. The bad news: Tony has to wear pants at meetings now.

Denny Palmer
denny@montanabicycleguild.org

Denny helps make the MBG grow by injecting it with a healthy dose of legal knowledge and a fantastic bit of business savvy.  Never mind his fancy, lightweight, carbon-fiber bike – his pack usually weighs about 40 pounds.  Because he’s carrying gear, food, medical supplies, and camping gear for everyone.  Pintler, his giant puppy, may or may not be in the bag, too.

Dan Barry
dan@montanabicycleguild.org

When he’s not renovating, Dan is caching sponsors for the Montana Enduro Series and the MBG.  He spends his days as the proprietor of Great Divide Cycles and The Garage ticking off life goals like getting on a 40 under 40 list.  When he’s not there, he is obliterating some insane, uphill KOM on some trail or soaking in his hot tub.

Shannon Stevens
shannon@montanabicycleguild.org

Shannon is someone who doesn’t take crap from the boys, and is capable of hanging with the best of the best.  She takes care of lots of event planning and is the high charge of everything fatbike.  When she’s not having yard sales or getting helicopter rides, she’s ripping laps around the South Hills.

Ryan Ford
ryan@montanabicycleguild.org

Ryan’s overarching role is to ensure that everything we do is enduro-specific enough and to check and make sure that all of our bona fide enduro spec kits are freshly pressed.  His tank tops (see photo) are regularly responsible for out-gunning everything in sight.  Although he’s currently on assignment in Florida, he’s the go-to guy for coordinating all things with the races – especially Whitefish – and he once drove a CRX around a local track faster than a GT-R could make it around.

The Bradleys
jeff@montanabicycleguild.org
stacey@montanabicycleguild.org

The Bradley’s have been helping out MBG since 2018 in various capacities.  Stacey is the MBG’s CFO and Jeff manages projects like the Kading Grade.
