Jay has been biking ever since he can remember. He grew up in Northern Utah with trails literally in his backyard. As an Eagle Scout and Scoutmaster for over 20 years, Jay grew up hunting, hiking, fishing, skiing, and mountain biking outdoors. He especially loved exploring mountain trails on his bike as it let him explore larger areas faster.
​
In 2004 Jay brought his wife and small family to Arizona for medical school and quickly realized that being able to mountain bike year-round was amazing. He fell in love with the desert and is often accused of stopping too often to take pictures of the Arizona landscape.
​
Three years ago Jay started the Mountain View High School Bike Team in hopes of sharing his love of mountain biking with the youth, including his son who is a Senior this year. He has been a coach and sponsor of multiple teams over the past 5 years and has seen the positive impact the sport has had on kids and families. He is very excited to see those changes in Mountain View Bike team students this year.
HEAD COACH
JAY LARSON
While his dad was a competitive road and dirt bike racer, Danny would joke that the cycling gene somehow missed him. But in 2022, his cousin Doug convinced him and his eldest son to give it a shot on a scorching September afternoon. It was love at first ride, and the stoke has been contagious ever since. Soon, the whole family was hooked and planning vacations around epic riding adventures. With two sons tearing up the race course, and a daughter eager to join in a few years, he loves to cheer them on. He is a Mountain View alum and enjoys seeing the team crush their goals both on and off the trails.
Danny Green
Doug grew up in SoCal and went to college at San Diego State. He loves to ride and started biking in the 80’s on a rad bike. You’ll find him most days on a road bike or a mountain bike somewhere around NE Mesa. He came to AZ with his family in 2004 and has three boys. The first two got caught up playing baseball, but his third son figured things out and rides on the team. He participated in a few races and is always up for group rides or events. Being a part of the team and watching everyone get better over the last couple of seasons has been a highlight for him.
Doug Bradford
Matt is an Arizona native, and a Mountain View alum. His father got him into road biking where he started racing competitively at the age of 13 and his first job in a local bike store at 15 years of age. Now his work takes him abroad, and when he’s lucky, he likes to sneak in some riding or soccer with the locals. When he’s home with his wife and daughter Matt likes to help new people who are taking up the sport, and especially enjoys coaching the kids and seeing their progress.
Matt Lofgran
Adam started cycling in law school—his celebratory graduation ride included an endo off a pedestrian bridge in East Harlem with his oldest strapped into the baby seat on back. (Don't grab the front brake going downhill if your front wheel is the only wheel touching the ground.) And he's proud to have been one of the first to mountain bike the brand new single track in Inwood Hill Park, the only place in Manhattan you can shred. He's proud to be in his second year coaching with this team and to have his two youngest sons riding.
Adam Anderson
Scott has been a recreational mountain bike rider for many years. He grew up riding in the mountains of Utah. His son is a Senior on the team and that got him involved with coaching for the MVT Team. In Scott's words, "I am really excited to be the team sweep because no one is slower than me". His motto is "no one left behind!". This is Scott's second year as a coach.
Scott Ferrin
Lee grew up in Chile, Argentina, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and moved to the US at age 9 where he lived in Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and St. Louis though high school. He also lived in Portugal and Cape Verde eventually learning to speak 5 languages fluently. He worked as a musician (Saxophone) in St. Louis playing in night clubs and barges on the Mississippi river until he changed his major to Information Systems Management where he currently works in Infrastructure and Cyber Security battling hackers around the world. Lee started mountain biking when he moved to Arizona in 2017 and has become addicted to this amazing sport!
Lee Holland
Rob grew up in Utah but has lived in AZ and AK for the last 20 years. He has family throughout the country riding with NICA and is stoked to see those NICA good vibes he has heard about in other states happen here in AZ for his 5 daughters. He has led youth groups and coached most of his adult life.
Rob has been mountain biking since 1990 and is happy to see his kids now riding. He has competed in several races but mostly just loves to ride to be outdoors. Rob loves to hunt, fish and backpack as well. He loves how mountain biking is so much more reliably fun than waiting for a fish to bite, an elk to be where he hoped, snow to fall or for a wave to cooperate and be surfed.
Robert Boyle
Steve has been riding since high school with an occasional race thrown in to remind him how fast everybody else is! Steve really loves to sweep team rides and help kids get back on the trail with tools, a pump, water or just some encouraging words! His first job in high school (and all through college) was Landis Cyclery learning bike maintenance from the best. He was born and raised in AZ, and went to college at Fort Lewis in Durango and ASU.

Dustin Doyle is 6' 9" so you would think he would play basketball but he prefers shredding the trails!
