It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of one of our coaches, Douglas Barr.
Doug was far more than someone who taught young athletes how to ride a mountain bike. Through his patience, steady encouragement, and genuine love of the trails, he helped riders build confidence, resilience, friendships, and a belief that they were capable of more than they realized. He was the coach athletes looked forward to seeing and a trusted mentor to others within our program.
Doug brought generosity, integrity, humor, and a spirit of adventure to everything he did. Whether sharing a trail, a campfire, a project, or a conversation, he made a lasting impression on the people around him. His influence will continue through every rider he encouraged and every coach who learned from his example.
Our hearts and prayers are with Doug’s wife, Lorraine, their son, Thomas, and all of his family and friends. We are deeply grateful that Doug chose to share his time, knowledge, and love of mountain biking with the Twin Valley Mountain Bike Team. His absence will be felt deeply, and his legacy will remain part of this team for years to come.

Rest in peace, Coach Doug. We will carry your encouragement with us on every ride.
