He is an ex-president of the Aspen Cycling Club, and an active participant in many of Colorado's trail organizations, including volunteering as a crew leader for RFOV. He is keenly aware of the possible outcomes of a lackadaisical approach to trail management after watching most of Marin County's trails become offlimits to mountain bike users due to lack of organization.

He's supported the struggle for mountain bike access to trails since first taking up the sport in 1998 through trail maintenance, membership in IMBA and now helping to organize mountain bikers in the Roaring Fork Valley. He is an RFOV trail crew leader. Kirk currently resides in Aspen and makes a point of searching out the less traveled rides in our area. He is part owner of Mitchell and Company, a computer consulting company. Mike Pritchard, Secretary: Aspen resident Mike Pritchard graduated from Cornell University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Architecture degree. He worked for CCY Architects from 1999 - 2009, focusing on both residential and commercial projects. His commitment to sustainable design was an asset to the firm’s continued growth in the field.
