Guided Beginner/Green Ride — Sandy Ridge – 6/19
June 19 @ 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Join the NWTA for a beginner level/green ride at Sandy Ridge!
Do you really enjoy green-level trails, or are you newer to mountain biking and looking to ride with others? This is your ride!
Join us at Sandy Ridge for an evening of exploring trails. Open to all, this is a no-drop ride, meaning no one is left behind. We are here to cheer each other on and have a lot of fun!
The ride time is not a hard stop. We will take time to assess everyone’s energy and go with the flow. Post-ride, feel free to hang around and enjoy conversation and beverages with us.
This event is part of a series of activities scheduled for the evening at Sandy Ridge, including a jump clinic by MTB Coach Robbie to fundraise for the new Sandy Ridge Trails parking lot skills area. It promises to be a great evening all around!
Assessing your skill level is the best way to ensure you and the people around you will have a good time. As a beginner/green level (not novice) rider, you should be familiar with your bike; how to shift, brake, and overall ride your bike on uneven terrain. We will be riding over roots and smaller rocks as well as riding up to 4 miles with up to 500 feet of elevation.
