Mitch Taylor
Mitch, a resident of Forest Grove, has been a dedicated instructor at our Summer Bike Camps for many years. A passionate cyclist, he enjoys the freedom that retirement brings and spends much of his time exploring new places on two wheels. His bike adventures have taken him across the U.S., including New York and Missouri, as well as through parts of Europe. Most recently, he returned from bike tours in Portugal and Spain—including a memorable climb up a ridiculously steep 3-kilometer hill with a rewarding view of the Mediterranean.

Tana has been cycling since she was 6. Her favorite bike paths and riding areas are Banks Vernonia Trail, Hagg Lake and the Tillamook State Forest. Her most recent mountain biking adventure took her to Canada where she saw her first bear on the trail. Prior to retirement, Tana worked as an Accountant after graduating from Portland State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration (Accounting Major). Besides biking, Tana enjoys walks with her husband, spending time with family and friends, cross country skiing and looking after her 4 rowdy cats.
