our Staff

Front Rangers Board

The Front Rangers are supported by an amazing group of experienced adults who strive to create an community environment to develop young cyclists. Our Board of Directors is volunteers of both Cycling and Non-Cycling members. We also have many volunteer coaches, and “ride leads” who teach and provide support as for the Team. Thank you to all who choose to help us make a difference!

MEET THE Team

Shane Meredith

President

Shane currently serves as the president of the board and is a coach for both Front Rangers and Highlanders. Shane and his wife Ty met in college in 1999 and moved to Colorado Springs in 2001 to attend grad school. They decided to stay after falling in love with the environment, people, and culture. Shane works for the United States Space Force and Ty works within the mental health industry. The Meredith’s have three children, with two of them being on the Front Rangers. Their oldest also on the Highlanders mountain bike race team. The majority of the time you will find Shane and his family in the mountains on the weekends, doing many of the things they love; such as camping, hiking, cycling and skiing. The Meredith’s connection with the Front Rangers began in 2020, when their son joined the team. The cycling team has developed grit, character, and dedication in both their kids – just like so many others of the team. The team dynamic has taught the athletes sacrifice, loyalty, and commitment to something other than themselves. Shane is grateful to be able to volunteer and build up the team!

Jackson Bilbrey

Highlanders Head Coach

Jackson and his family picked up mountain biking shortly after moving to Monument in 2013. In a search to find other kids that shared his son’s passion for mountain biking he discovered the Front Rangers. Jackson has a passion for working with youth athletes to help them not only develop their athletic skills, but also develop confidence, community and leadership skills. When Jackson is not coaching or mountain biking himself, he enjoys just about any activity that gets him in the outdoors.

Ethan Rosenow

Coach & Board Member

Ethan got a crazy idea on his steel frame Trek as an 8th grader to join the composite MTB team in Chattanooga, TN, and hasn’t had a good relationship with trees since. Cycling has become a passion for Ethan over the last 10 years, leading him to work as a full service mechanic, race as a collegiate athlete, and coach in the past, as well as inspiring a move to Colorado for the trails of the Wild West. He still likes to *try* to go fast ever so often, coincidentally leading him to give back and volunteer as a coach for the Front Rangers programs.
