SUMMARY:Kid's Beginner Ride at Stub Stewart - 4/8
DESCRIPTION:Kids guided ride on all the best trails at Stub Stewart State Park.  \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a guided ride on some of the best trails around!  \n\n\n\nThese rides will start out with reviewing the most basic skills and will offer light instruction as needed for particular features. We will split the group into Green Geckos (beginners) and Leapin’ Lizards (intermediates) as staffing allows. Each group will have at least two adult leaders and up to 8 kids per group. \n\n\n\nWe will regroup at trail intersections and as needed for snacks or layer changes. \n\n\n\nRider Experience: Beginner (Green Geckos)\, intermediate (Leapin’ Lizards) with 1-2+ years of riding on dirt trails \n\n\n\nThese riders are already comfortable riding a bike on “Green” mountain bike trails as well as dirt and grass\, and down some features up to 3-4 inches high. They can stand and coast on the pedals for short periods of time. They can shift gears and corner\, but it might not go as smoothly as it could — or at the right time. They can ride 2-4 miles on a trail or bike path. \n\n\n\nDuring this ride: these riders will practice their balance over varying terrain including trails and rolling terrain\, as well as brake and corner with more confidence\, shift more smoothly. They’ll ride up hills and back down; there will also be some switchbacks and places to practice slow-riding skills and a few technical sections.  \n\n\n\nBike:* The bike should have platform pedals\, two hand brakes (front and rear)\, a seat that can move up and down\, and is in good working condition. Single speeds are OK but a bike with gears will be more fun on the climbs. No coaster brakes\, worn out tires or kickstands.  \n\n\n\nRequired Gear:  \n\n\n\n-A properly fitting helmet in good condition and is less than 5 years old* \n\n\n\n-Water bottle that fits in a bottle cage or backpack with bladder  \n\n\n\n-Clothing appropriate for the weather \n\n\n\n-Tools for moving the seat up and down if necessary \n\n\n\n-Backpack to carry layers\, snacks\, tools and water \n\n\n\nRecommended Gear: \n\n\n\n-Full fingered gloves \n\n\n\n-Knee and elbow protection \n\n\n\n-Eye protection \n\n\n\n-Tools and supplies to change a flat tire (with assistance!) \n\n\n\n*We will have helmets and bikes to loan!

SUMMARY:Suspension Clinic: Get Dialed in with Trek and SRAM - 5/13
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning how to dial in your suspension on your bike? Join Trek and SRAM at Gateway Green on May 13th and learn how to setup your suspension\, how and why to make adjustments\, and when to get your suspension serviced. \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\nBring your bike\, helmet and be ready to ride. We will be taking a few laps with your suspension in different settings.  \n\n\n\nFor those who come\, please meet at the grassy area in between the pump track and bathrooms.  \n\n\n\nSpace is limited\, please sign up and more importantly\, show up!

If you are not\, please consider JOINING 5\,500 other mountain bikers in the greater Portland area who are making trails and events like these and so many more possible \n\n\n\nMountain biking requires riders to confront their fears\, biases\, and preconceived notions: we know what it feels like to be fearful\, uncomfortable\, and out of our element while on a ride. While we believe that everyone’s barriers should be respected\, we know that mutual support will help get us past those barriers. We must boost each other up and push ourselves to improve both on and off the bike. NWTA wants a world where everyone feels welcome\, safe\, and free in the outdoors. As an organization\, the NWTA is committed to creating a pathway to nature for everyone\, regardless of socioeconomic status\, race\, gender\, religion\, sexual orientation\, gender identity\, disability\, faith\, and country of origin.

SUMMARY:Green Geckos MTB Bike Skills Camp at Gateway Green - 6/26-29
DESCRIPTION:Mountain Bike Skills Camp (M-Th) for Beginner 7-17-year-olds. \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\nRegistration for this camp is for 4 days (Monday – Thursday). Please be ready to commit to having your rider attend each day. \n\n\n\nIn partnership with Elaine B Bikes\, NWTA is excited to offer mountain bike skills camps. Cost: $120 donation to NWTA (scholarships available email lisao@nw-trail.org) \n\n\n\nDrop off & Pick up location: Gateway Fred Meyer Parking Lot\, Corner of NE 99th & NE Pacific  \n\n\n\nEvent Location: Gateway Green  \n\n\n\nRider Experience: Beginner/Intermediate with ½ – 1 of riding on dirt trails \n\n\n\nThese classes are for kids who are already comfortable riding a bike on some “Green” mountain bike dirt trail and grass and down features up to 3-4 inches high. They can stand and coast on the pedals. They can shift gears and corner\, but it might not go as smoothly as it could — or at the right time. They are interested in rolling over taller features and riding pump tracks (or rolling terrain) without pedaling the whole time. They can ride 1-2 miles on a trail or bike path. \n\n\n\nDuring this class: Riders will continue to improve their balance over varying terrain including trails and pump tracks (or rolling terrain)\, as well as brake and corner with more confidence\, and shift more smoothly. They’ll learn to climb\, descend and ride faster; they’ll also learn slow-riding skills to have fun riding more technical trails including roll downs and drops 6-10” high – if they want to. The wheels may leave the ground on drops\, but we aren’t jumping quite yet. \n\n\n\nBike: The Green Gecko’s bike has platform pedals\, two hand brakes (front and rear)\, a seat that can move up and down\, and is in good working condition. Single speeds are OK but a bike with gears will be more fun on the climbs. No coaster brakes\, worn-out tires or kickstands. A Gecko’s helmet fits properly\, is in good condition\, and is less than 5 years old \n\n\n\nRequired Gear:  \n\n\n\n-A properly fitting helmet in good condition and is less than 5 years old*  \n\n\n\n-Water bottle and snacks \n\n\n\n-Clothing appropriate for the weather \n\n\n\n-Pack to carry layers\, snacks\, and water \n\n\n\nRecommended Gear: \n\n\n\n– Full-fingered gloves \n\n\n\n-Knee and elbow protection \n\n\n\n-Eye protection \n\n\n\n*We have a limited amount of bikes & helmets to loan! Please confirm with rider information during registration.  \n\n\n\nParticipants should have their own water\, wear layers appropriate for the weather\, and have a backpack to take with them to the park. No items will stay at the drop-off site.  \n\n\n\nQuestions?
