Michelle Barker is the new IMBA Upper Midwest Regional Director, replacing Hansi Johnson who resigned last summer to take a position as Director of Recreational Lands for the Minnesota Land Trust.

She met with me and Marty Larson yesterday at Tandem Bagels in downtown Northfield, on her way back home to Iowa after attending the Cuyuna Lakes annual meeting on Thursday night.

We gave her an update on all things CROCT-related and she promised to devote 90% of her waking hours toward helping us. Maybe not quite that much.

Michelle was featured twice in Josie Smith’s Life on Two Wheels blog last year, part of the Women Involved series here and part of the Women on Bikes series here.
