Freethey Mountain Bike Scholarship

To better support youth mountain biking in Moab and the Moab Red Devil Mountain Bike Racing Team, the Geoff and Sandy Freethey Honorary High School Mountain Bike Scholarship will be awarded to the high school sophomore who has committed to mountain biking as a freshman, and is in need of a new bike to continue progressing as a student athlete. This award will be given annually utilizing funds raised for this scholarship. The scholarship will be administered by the Moab Red Devil Mountain Bike Team Head Coach and Assistant Coach.

 

Along with many other people, Geoff and Sandy Freethey played a critical role in the evolution of mountain biking in Moab. When Sandy became the chair of the Grand County Trail Mix she took the concept of a county sponsored trails committee to the next level. By working with the City of Moab, Grand County, the Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service and the National Park Service via regular monthly meetings, singletrack trail building in the Moab region took off, and the trail system enjoyed today by visitors and locals alike was created.

 

Sandy and Geoff worked tirelessly to both mark and map the trails resulting in a world class trail system worthy of Moab’s unique and magnificent public lands. Every time you find yourself consulting a map along the trail on one of Moab’s many single track trail systems, Geoff is the person that designed, created, and placed that map.
