- Mike Dumont
It's wonderful how connections with friends like regional reps Shawn and Joel led Mike to discover SCMBC and its trails. Volunteering for trail maintenance, especially during the fall with leaf blowing, shows his dedication to maintaining those paths for everyone's enjoyment. Mike not only enjoys riding the trails but is also passionate about contributing to the trail network's growth and sustainability. He is dedicated to ensuring these trails remain a treasure for future generations of bikers and nature enthusiasts including his kids, Lucy & Felix. It's a wonderful commitment to preserving the natural beauty of these areas while fostering a sense of community among those who share the love for biking and the outdoors.
Mike’s future club goals are to bring back the weekly group rides, which can be incredibly motivating and inspiring for everyone involved. They not only create a sense of camaraderie among riders but also provide a platform for skill enhancement and pushing personal limits. It's great to hear that Mike is eager to reintroduce these rides, especially considering how they played a pivotal role in fueling his passion and improving his riding capabilities back in 2019. His enthusiasm for these rides and the positive impact they've had on his riding capabilities demonstrate his commitment to sharing that experience with others.
Mike was competed in his first race three years ago, and has been hooked ever since. He now has plans to participate in the following races: Spring 8 Hour Epic, Eager Beaver, 24 Hour Summer Solstice, Crank the Shield & the Fall 8 Hour Epic. He now believes that everyone should race and didn’t know why he took so long to do so.

Regional Representatives
Director of Operations - Severn / Ramara - Brent Johnson
Brent has been on two wheels since before most of us could ride without training wheels. From tearing up motocross tracks across Ontario to racing mountain bikes into his early 50s, he's spent a lifetime chasing dirt.
But about eight years ago, Brent discovered a new passion—trail building. Since then, he’s been a key part of countless builds and reroutes across the region, leaving his mark on trails like Creeks, Amos, Breedon, Crawford–Sanderson, Silvercreek, and Slessor.
These days, you're more likely to find Brent hiking the Severn trails in the early mornings with his trail dog Penny, saw or clippers in hand, quietly keeping the singletrack in top shape.
While racing is now in the rearview, Brent and his partner Jenn have traded race plates for road trips—exploring riding destinations from Quebec to Upstate Michigan and Bentonville.
Looking ahead, Brent has his sights set on finishing up some fun new features for the kids loop in Severn, and helping make the trails more accessible for adaptive riders.
Director of Operations - Midland / Penetanguishene / Tiny - Joel Andrews
Joel represents Midland ON where he and his family reside. Joel digs everything from downhill to trail riding, a true fan of the dirt who you couldn't pay to ride road! Joel's trusty steeds are his Devinci Marshall and The Bigfoot fatty).
Joel has been an SCMBC member since the beginning and joined the board in 2015! His favorite SCMBC trails are the Silver Creek and Slessor Tracts and his favorite destination.. North Carolina Bovard.
He is an experienced trail builder who has made some great things happen with his dedicated crew who also loves to ride and explore!
Joel's future club goals: literally litter Simcoe County with amazing singletrack trail 🤙
Director of Operations - Oro - Shawn Pilon
Shawn joined SCMBC in 2016 and was drawn to the MTB scene, building, riding, and socializing. In 2020 his family moved to Sugar Bush to be as close to the trails as possible and today, Tristin and Shawn have two sweet little girls, Tenley who loves riding shotgun on the MTB and future shredder Sloane!
2022 brought more changes as Shawn traded in his city job for a job close to home (and the trails!) This has allowed him to get more involved with SCMBC. Please welcome Shawn as our Oro Rep!
His favourite local trail: ripping out his front door to Tustin, Crawford, Arbour, and into Hutch and beyond. It makes for a flowy Thunder Run. Shawn loves berms and rollers on many trails.
Shawn's future club goals: would love to get a toddler track in place for our early shredders riding push bikes. Something geared for shredders 2-year-old and up. Where they could shred laps on a tight circular course.
Director of Operations - Springwater/Barrie - David Hooper
David was a rider and member of SCMBC for many years and in 2020 started building trails. His favourite trail? "I should say Hickling since this is my region but I really enjoy Creeks."
David loves to ride smooth and flowy trails.
David's future club goals: continuing the work started by Bryan on fostering shared responsibility for trail maintenance and building our awesome Hickling loop. He would like to investigate future trails in the Springwater region when new trail building is permitted by the county again.

Angela started as a member in 2020 and became involved in builds then joined our board in 2022 as the Media Rep. She has been organizing socials and gatherings and increasing communication with members on social media!
