About Us
Meet the Team
Our board is made up of local builders and riders who have been improving and maintaining the trails you love for years. With the support of land owners, trail stewards, captains, and gnomes, and YOU, our local patrons and riders, we will make the Fort Bend trails an even better destination spot that leaves you wanting more! We're a group cyclists passionate about mountain biking and the desire to not only improve the Fort Bend County trail system, but grow our trail system exponentially!
Ryan Strohl
Chair
Ryan lives in New Territory, TX, where he spends his days dreaming of short climbs with long downhills. He enjoys working with a shovel, weed trimmer, leaf blower, or hammer drill. But, he isn’t crazy about rakes. Days spent on the trails are good days, no matter whether it’s riding a bike or building a trail. Ryan rode cheap 10-speeds through the woods as a kid and purchased his first Raleigh mountain bike in 1993 because it had cool-looking bar-ends. He figured that he may as well ride on the trails since he had a mountain bike. So, it began. Ryan is a humble insurance adjuster of 23 years. He loves people, except roofers. He graduated from Texas A&M, got a job, learned to dance, and made a baby. But, he still can’t jump high enough to spike a volleyball. CrossFit is for days when the trails are wet. The new Pivot Switchblade is for the dry days. Ryan will ride with anyone. But, he will make fun of you if you wear Spandex. Happy trails!
Anthony Baber
Vice Chair
Anthony Baber has been riding mountain bikes for 15 years. He is not very good at it, but still loves to try. He has been involved with community improvement in a variety of ways over the years. Building these trails and getting FBMBA going has been the most fun he's had while still making Ft. Bend a better place to live, work, and play.
