SUMMARY:NWTA x Cyclepath West - Beginner MTB Ride in Forest Park - 10/18
DESCRIPTION:Let’s kick off the weekend with a fun beginner mountain bike ride in Forest Park\, hosted by NWTA and Cyclepath West – see you there! \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCurious about mountain biking? Eager to dip your toes into the world of off-road cycling? Join Northwest Trail Alliance and Cyclepath West for a beginner-oriented ride through Portland’s Forest Park. \n\n\n\nThe ride: Cyclepath will provide a shuttle to the top of the Leif Erikson trail. The group will ride back to the shop on Thurman Street along Leif Erikson\, with an optional off-road loop in the middle. Leif Erikson is a double-track gravel roadbed open to bikes but not cars. \n\n\n\n\nOption #1: Leif Erikson from top to bottom (11.5 miles\, rolling descent)\n\n\n\nOption #2: Leif Erikson to Saltzman Rd. to Firelane 5 to Leif Erikson down to lower trailhead (14.5 miles\, rolling decent with a steep up/down on the side loop)\n\n\n\n\nWho this is for: Really\, anyone! The ride will be designed with beginners in mind. You don’t need to know the lingo and you don’t need any off-road experience. This is a great place to see what the off-road hype is all about and make some friends all while enjoying a pleasant\, light ride. \n\n\n\nThe gear: Please come prepared with an off-road ready bike in safe\, working condition. This means the tires are a little wider\, ideally you’ve got some gears\, and suspension (shocks) are useful but not required. If you need to borrow a bike\, connect with Eric (erico@nw-trail.org). Other gear reccomendations include helmet\, water bottle\, snacks\, fanny pack or bike bag\, gloves\, and weather-specific clothing that can get sweaty. \n\n\n\nThe plan: Cyclepath West is excited to host us in their new space on NW Thurman Street. Arrive by 9:00 to go over the plan\, and we’ll be out the door at 9:15. Afterward\, join us for a hang session including light snacks and good company. \n\n\n\nRSVP: This event is free but space is limited\, so please promptly cancel if it turns out that you cannot attend so we can make sure someone else can grab your spot.

If you have not ridden a bike uphill recently\, you may struggle to have a good time on this ride.  \n\n\n\nThe route will also involve a short section of downhill singletrack (Firelane 5) that requires intermediate-level bike handling skills. \n\n\n\nRoute on Ride With GPS: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49006426 \n\n\n\nSocialize: \n\n\n\nOptional (but highly encouraged) post-ride hang sesh at The Dragonfly Coffee House. Coffee\, lunch things\, and pastries abound 🙂 \n\n\n\nSee ya there. \n\n\n\nAn NWTA membership is not required to join this ride. But if you would like to become a member\, or donate to the organization that helps maintain Firelane 5\, you can do so on the NWTA website: https://nw-trail.org/join/ \n\n\n\nPlease contact carriej@nw-trail.org with any questions.

We will talk together about the various wildlife species that use these habitats\, and Katy can share information of past and present biological monitoring that has taken place throughout the park. \n\n\n\nIn breaks along the ride\, Katy will lead discussion on topics including the hidden seasonal wetlands that host native frog and salamander tadpoles; open spaces with grassland birds\, such as White-crowned Sparrows; and any other questions regarding who lives within this space at any time of year. \n\n\n\nTo familiarize themselves with the area\, attendees are encouraged to look at the Chehalem Ridge website prior to the event. \n\n\n\nRide details: 5-7 miles with intermittent breaks\, and roughly 500 feet of elevation climbing at a social pace. This is a no-drop ride\, meaning no one will be left behind. \n\n\n\nMeeting place: We’ll meet near the restrooms at the Chehalem Ridge parking lot. \n\n\n\nFor questions please reach out to Eric (erico@nw-trail.org).
