Doug is an active photographer and a computer specialist. He enjoys the rural life and strives to aid all of the Bonita Valley Horsemen to fully enjoy the area and the club’s rides through the Bonita Valley and other areas as well Doug also has his own web site (well Bow does) www.thegohorse.com.

Doug plans on posting photographs of club members and their activities on the organization’s web site. Doug is also dedicated to keeping club members informed of all group events, especially the popular weekly and monthly group rides. As some riders prefer fast pace rides and others slower ones, Doug’ s plan is to inform everyone of the nature of each ride. As for himself, Doug enjoys leading a fast ride. Doug is familiar with many of the Bonita Valley trails and will prove to be a valuable member as well as our new webmaster.
