Who are the SHARE officers? There are so many people behind the scenes that make things happen for SHARE. Here are a few of them that actually get to have their picture on the site!
The President….. and the seventh station at the Poker Ride. You will see her every year but in a different costume.
Sheryl Condon
SHARE President for 2 years and involved in SHARE for 6 years.
Goals for SHARE: I want SHARE to be a driving force in the mountain bike community in Orange County and to be a resource for new, and experienced riders who share the same vision as we do. I also want everyone in and involved with SHARE to have a lot of fun!
Favorite SHARE memory: “Oh so many good times over the years, I have to say the best thing about SHARE peeps is the time we spend sitting around having a beverage talking about the great event or ride we just had. The friends I have met through SHARE over the years are truly amazing and I will cherish them forever! Oh and that time Robin made the No Whiners button at the Fat Tire Festival!”
The Vice President……
Paul Milller
SHARE Vice President for 4 years, Peters Canyon representative for 6 years.
Goals for SHARE: Regularly scheduled weekend rides. Increased visibility of SHARE in the MTB community. More members. More members that are active in club.
Favorite SHARE memory: ”End-of-Season parties in the El Moro Parking lot. Especially the games. Ghost Ride. Fill the bucket with water bottle race. Two people, squeezing water bottles between their knees (no hands), whoever filled the bucket first won.”
The Membership Coordinator…..
Ray Brandt
SHARE Membership Coordinator for his first year. SHARE member for 10 years.
Goals for SHARE: “I would like to see the organization grow by at least 50 members who will participate in our many activities we offer, actively join committees, and take a leadership position where possible.”
Favorite SHARE memory: “My favorite memories of SHARE are of the comradary we had at the Tuesday evening rides and on the trail work days. We used to all meet at the Elmoro parking lot prior to 6 pm each Tuesday and socialize. At 6 pm we would divide into groups based on ability, like moderate and advanced. Sometimes we would have a beginner group when appropriate. After the ride many of us would meet in Corona del Mar for dinner and lots of laughs.”
Secretary and Club Photographer……
Steve Larson
SHARE Secretary/Photographer for 2 years and involved with SHARE for 3 years.

Favorite SHARE memory: “Trying to figure out if the guy in the tight shorts and long socks was for real at one of the Poker Rides.”
The Treasurer……
Ken Rands
SHARE Treasurer for 4 years and involved with SHARE for 10 years.
Goals for SHARE: I hope that we have a reasonable amount of rain this winter and we can work with our parks to rebuild the trails. I also hope that we can reestablish our TAV patrol to really make a difference to park visitors.
Favorite SHARE memory: My most memorable SHARE event was the 2004 Great Awareness Fair which we put together to help Anne and to support Mark’s family. I worked with the county to award three of the five bikers who helped save Anne from the mountain lion attack. I was able to meet Mark’s mother Dona. I feel very fortunate to know Dona who has dedicated her life to give bikes to youngsters in memory of her son. She is a remarkable person. I also have a lot of memories working with SHARE rebuilding trails, riding and drinking.
