Whether she’s exploring BC’s best trail networks, mentoring young riders, or encouraging others to discover the sport, Lori brings enthusiasm, positivity, and a genuine love for cycling to every ride.

For Lori, riding is about freedom, fun, and connection. Whether she’s chasing an adrenaline filled descent, exploring a new trail system, or spinning through local trails with friends, cycling supports both her physical and mental well being while connecting her with an incredible community of riders.

Most Memorable Ride:
Among countless unforgettable rides, one stands above the rest: returning to the Ledgeview lookout after the devastating Fraser Valley floods. Sharing the trail with friends and witnessing the resilience of the local riding community made it a powerful reminder of what makes mountain biking special.

Favourite Route:
Lori’s riding adventures span some of BC’s premier trail networks, from Ledgeview and Squamish to Cumberland. If she had to choose one standout, Pamplemousse in Squamish remains a favourite. A trail that perfectly combines challenge, flow, and everything she loves about mountain biking.

Osvaldo “Oz” Codoceo

Mountain Biker • Road Cyclist • RMT

Known to most simply as Oz, Osvaldo discovered mountain biking in his mid twenties after transitioning away from rugby. What began as a new recreational outlet quickly evolved into a passion for every corner of the cycling world, from mountain biking and gravel riding to long days on the road.

Away from the bike, Oz has spent 13 years as a Registered Massage Therapist. After five years teaching at West Coast College, he now practices full time with Performance Health Group in Murrayville, working with everyone from individuals recovering from injuries and chronic pain to high-performance athletes striving to perform at their best. His professional focus on movement, recovery, and helping people return to the activities they love mirrors the same values that keep him connected to cycling and the local community.

Why He Rides:
For Oz, cycling delivers far more than physical fitness. It supports his mental well being, provides an opportunity to spend time outdoors, and connects him with a community that continually encourages and inspires one another.

Most Memorable Ride:
Riding the Tuscany Trail in Italy stands out as Oz’s most memorable cycling experience. Alongside his wife and friends, he spent five days bikepacking through Tuscany, exploring gravel roads, singletrack trails, and the landscapes, culture, and food that make the region world renowned.

Favourite Route:
The Columbia Valley route into the south end of Cultus Lake remains a favourite. With scenic valley roads, rolling terrain, and views that showcase the Fraser Valley at its best, it’s a route Oz returns to time and time again.

Oz is grateful to be part of a cycling community that spans every discipline, from the volunteers who build and maintain local trails to the riders who continually challenge and support one another. Whether helping patients return to an active lifestyle or sharing miles with friends on local roads and trails, he believes the strongest communities are built through movement, connection, and a shared passion for the outdoors.

Roy Miller

Mountain Biker • Trail Builder • Community Steward

For more than three decades, Roy has been a fixture in Abbotsford’s mountain biking community. A dedicated rider since the mid 1990s, his impact extends far beyond the trails he rides. Following his retirement in 2015, Roy devoted countless hours to trail building and maintenance at Ledgeview, helping preserve and improve the riding experience for the local community.

In 2020, alongside Gary Harder, Gary Weber, and many other volunteers, Roy helped lead the effort to reclaim and restore Soft Taco. Together, the group contributed approximately 700 volunteer hours to bringing the trail back to life. When organized rides disappeared during the pandemic, he created Soft Taco Tuesday - a weekly ride that brought riders together, introducing new faces to the trails, and kept the local riding community connected during a challenging time.

Why He Rides:
For Roy, mountain biking is about fun, community, and adventure. Whether he’s maintaining trails, leading rides, or exploring new routes, cycling provides a way to stay active, connect with others, and enjoy the outdoors. It also pairs perfectly with his other passion: skiing.

Most Memorable Ride:
Riding the Five Peaks of Abbotsford with his daughter Selina stands out as one of Roy’s favourite cycling memories. The route linked Ledgeview, Noodley Appendage, Sumas, Harder Way, Salty Nozzle, and Long Way Home into one massive day on the bike. An accomplishment made even more meaningful by sharing it with family.

Favourite Route:
Roy’s go to route starts with the climb to the top of Ledgeview before dropping into Noodley Appendage and finishing on Soft Taco. As part of the volunteer team that helped bring the trail back to life, he has a unique connection to every corner of it.

Roy’s dedication to trail stewardship, community building, and mountain biking has helped shape the riding culture of Abbotsford. His contributions continue to leave a lasting impact on the trails and riders who call Ledgeview home.
