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.
Sabrina Anderson
Sabrina spends her days working in schools throughout Washington County, Oregon, and enjoys a variety of hobbies in her free time, including bowling, exploring the great outdoors, and playing Dungeons & Dragons with friends. She decided to become a bike camp instructor because she loves helping others and supporting them as they grow. Sabrina attended a bike camp for three years as a child and later returned as an instructor—a role she found incredibly fun and rewarding. She enjoys seeing others smile and laugh and is excited to be part of the Saddle Up team this year.
