2005 GHORBA BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Mike Lutomski Treasurer & Acting President

Mike has been a Rocket Scientist at NASA for the

past 17 years. Mike started riding a $100 modified 10-speed with 26" wheels and a single speed coaster break back in college riding to class in over ice, sleet, and snow. Decades later he was introduced to the "official" sport of mountain biking and downhill racing while living in Moscow Russia. There he learned the "art" of biking year-round in rain, snow, and mud (did I say mud?). He also learned how to curse in Russian when falling down large crevices and hills surrounded by natural hazards. Upon returning to America where there were more than 37 bikers and actual bike trails, he learned about Cross Country Racing, how to ride trails that were dry, what a closed trail was, and even trail maintenance from IMBA. Mike rides, races, and camps with his three children around Texas. Mike wants to promote mountain biking activities in Houston, ensure access to existing and new trails systems, & encourage sustainable trail maintenance. Contact him at mikelutomski@sbcglobal.net.

Scott King Secretary

Scott King has been mountain biking since 1990, racing occasionally, but mostly riding for fun and to get outside. He moved to Houston 7 years ago after stints in magazine publishing which got started by an internship with Dirt Rag Magazine while a senior at the University of Pittsburgh. Lately, riding has taken a back seat to trail building for him. He can often be found working on the new trail system at Stephen F. Austin State Park or trying to learn some skills for more technically demanding style of riding. Scott can be reached at scott.king@gmail.com

Clay Fenton Membership

Larry Pruitt At Large

Kevin Highfield

Kevin is an ex-Brit who now lives in the NW1960-Champions area and is
actively involved in trail advocacy in the Cypress Creek watershed. Kevin
and his bud's ride at trails all over town and can be seen at most TMBRA
races, competing in the Expert 40-49 category. This picture was taken at
the 2005 Warda Race mud-fest--please don't normally ride in conditions
like this! He looks so happy because he had a good race and is covered
in the brown, sticky stuff.

Kevin is married with 2 teenage daughters and is a Master Mariner by trade,
working as a marine consultant and has lived in Houston since 1992.

Kevin hopes to use his contacts with local government agencies and experience
learned in the Cypress Creek project to assist with other trail projects around town.

Blaine Grove

Blaine is an ex-Yankee who now lives in the Oak Forest area and is actively involved in trail advocacy in the Houston area. Blaine owns numerous mountain bikes, all in various stages of disrepair. Blaine can usually be seen riding a road bike around town. No known photo exists of Blaine, nor can his reflection be seen in a mirror.
