SUMMARY:Kids' Ride at Sandy Ridge - 8/6
DESCRIPTION:Kids’ guided mountain bike ride at Sandy Ridge; ages 7-12. \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) and split into smaller groups as staffing allows. We will ride to the level of the least experienced riders. \n\n\n\nWe will regroup at trail intersections and as needed for snacks or layer changes. \n\n\n\nRider Experience: Beginner/intermediate with 1-2+ years of riding on dirt trails. Ages 7-12. \n\n\n\nBeginner Green Geckos: These riders are already comfortable riding a bike on some “Green” mountain bike trails as well as dirt and grass\, and over 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 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\nIntermediate Leapin’ Lizards: These 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 a 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 have helmets and bikes to loan; it’s helpful if you reach out in advance to indicate your rider’s need and size.  \n\n\n\nEmail elaine.b@elainebbikes.com with any questions and for bike/helmet loans. \n\n\n\nOnce registered\, please sign the waiver for your MINOR Child HERE

They can go on short rides (up to .5 mile) with family or friends but might need to be carried for a bit. They can get going and stop on pavement. They may be able to pick up the bike if it falls over\, but they probably need a little help from Mom/Dad/Guardian. They are comfortable riding on pavement and bike paths.  \n\n\n\nTadpoles love to scoot around at their own pace\, sometimes at impressive speeds! They enjoy their balance bike on pavement\, hard-packed trails and varied terrains such as pump tracks and even sizeable rolling features\, curbs and through puddles. They may show no fear but might get upset if things don’t go as planned. \n\n\n\nDuring this class: these riders will improve their balance by looking where they are going and picking up their feet. They’ll learn to paddle up a climb\, coast down and have fun rolling over smooth\, flowing features. \n\n\n\nBike: A Tadpole’s bike is a balance bike or it may have pedals (ideal) or foot pegs. It may have a hand brake and is in good working condition with NO training wheels. Single speeds and kick stands are OK. A Tadpole’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 balance bike in good working condition.  \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 helmets and may have bikes to loan! Be sure to let us know your child’s height when registering. \n\n\n\nHave questions? mail elaine.b@elainebbikes.com \n\n\n\nOnce registered\, please sign the waiver for your MINOR Child HERE \n\n\n\nThank you to our partners & sponsors:\n\n\n\nPortland Parks & Recreation\n\n\n\nProject^\n\n\n\nElaine B.

They are learning to 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 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: these 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\, 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.

They can ride 2 miles or more on a trail or bike path. This class is for: a beginning rider who may not have taken a cycling class before and wants to improve bike handling skills to handle some more technical features over the course of a progressive four-class series.  \n\n\n\nDuring this class: These riders will refine their shifting and braking skills\, learn the basic standing position\, and explore varying terrain including trails and rolling terrain. They’ll learn to corner\, climb\, and descend;. They’ll also learn slow-riding skills to have fun riding more technical trails with features up to 2” high on uphill terrain\, and up to 8” high on downhill terrain. We will also discuss riding in a group and trail etiquette\, basic bike fit information\, decisions on whether to ride a feature or not\, and safe bailout techniques when things get tricky.  \n\n\n\nBike: A mountain bike\, either a hardtail or full suspension in good working condition with platform pedals\, knobby tires\, two hand brakes (front and rear)\, and a seat that can move up and down.

This lot is behind the Fred Meyer\, close to NE 99th Ave. and the Gateway MAX station. \n\n\n\nBike: A mountain bike\, either a hardtail or full suspension in good working condition with platform pedals\, knobby tires\, two hand brakes (front and rear)\, and a seat that can move up and down. Single speeds are OK but a bike with gears will be more fun on the climbs. No worn out tires or kickstands.  \n\n\n\nRequired gear: A properly fitting helmet in good condition and is less than 5 years old. Water bottle and snacks. Clothing appropriate for the weather. Tools for moving the seat up and down if necessary. Pack to carry layers\, snacks\, tools\, and water.  \n\n\n\nRecommended gear: Full-fingered gloves. Knee and elbow protection. Eye protection. Tools and supplies to change a flat tire (with assistance!).

They can ride 2 miles or more on a trail or bike path. This class is for: a beginning rider who may not have taken a cycling class before and wants to improve bike handling skills to handle some more technical features over the course of a progressive four-class series. \n\n\n\nDuring this class: They’ll learn to corner\, climb\, and descend. We will also discuss riding in a group and trail etiquette\, basic bike fit information\, decisions on whether to ride a feature or not\, and safe bailout techniques when things get tricky. \n\n\n\nMeet: At the west Fred Meyer parking lot\, we will ride into the park together.

SUMMARY:Camp - Green Geckos: Week of 8/12 (Ages 8-12)
DESCRIPTION:Camp offered in partnership with Portland Parks & Recreation. Registration required through ActiveNet. Click on the button below. \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nACTIVITY LOCATION \n\n\n\nMt. Scott Park (SE 72nd Ave. and SE Harold St.) \n\n\n\nLEVEL 1- BEGINNER \n\n\n\nRider Experience: Beginner with ½ – 1 years of riding on dirt trails \n\n\n\nThese riders are already comfortable riding a bike on gravel roads as well as on dirt and grass\, and down some features up to 3-4 inches high such as a small curb\, with their feet out. They are learning to 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 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: these 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\, 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: -Bike in good condition* -A properly fitting helmet in good condition and is less than 5 years old* -Water bottle (no more than 16 oz\, otherwise it’s too heavy to carry!) -Snacks for the individual -Clothing appropriate for the weather including jacket and gloves -Pack to carry layers\, snacks and water  \n\n\n\nRecommended Gear: -Full fingered gloves -Knee and elbow protection -Eye protection  \n\n\n\n*We have bikes and helmets to loan! Required height 4’-5” to 5’-6” tall. If the rider is shorter or taller\, let us know\, we may have a properly sized bike but our quantities are very limited.  \n\n\n\nPickup and drop off: southeast corner of Mt. Scott Park\, near SE 74th and SE Knight St.
