SUMMARY:Ride Leader Training for Group Rides at Rocky Point - 8/7
DESCRIPTION:A class for those interested in learning how to lead mountain bike group rides – Rocky Point Sunday 8/7 from 9 am – 11:30. \n\n\n\n\nregister\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nIn partnership with Elaine B. Bikes\, NWTA presents Ride Leader Training for those interested in leading mountain bike group rides. \n\n\n\nLeading or helping with group rides is a fun way to find riding buddies and share enthusiasm for mountain biking by introducing ways to enjoy a ride more comfortably\, safely\, and confidently. Leading rides also helps grow the sport and increase trail stewardship by involving and inviting riders at any level\, especially beginners to the sport or trail system and those new to the area. \n\n\n\nRide Leader Intro course is a basic introduction to leading rides and what tasks need to happen before\, during & after a ride\, and what to do if something goes wrong. This training is designed to increase the confidence of anyone interested in leading\, co-leading\, or sweeping (riding at the back) a ride at any level.  \n\n\n\nWhile a person does not need to have advanced or even intermediate riding skills to be a ride leader\, this is not a skills clinic. Ride leaders have a role in creating a safe and fun environment\, not an instructor role. Ride leaders are happy to share their favorite trails at whatever level they are confident on — be it a winding gravel trail to more advanced runs.  \n\n\n\nThis 2.5-hour course will also help prepare a person to succeed in the BICP’s standalone Ride Leader Certification online course. This certification is not necessary to hold group rides for NWTA. \n\n\n\nTopics covered: \n\n\n\n-Preparing for a ride\, including planning and the ride\,  \n\n\n\n-Learning what goes in your backpack and what to bring along \n\n\n\n-How to assess whether a rider is at a level to enjoy the ride you’re planning \n\n\n\n-How to manage the group and what to do if something goes wrong \n\n\n\n-How to describe upcoming trail features \n\n\n\n-Practice leading and sweeping a ride \n\n\n\n-Discussing liability: what is your exposure you need insurance or permits? \n\n\n\n-Recommendations for additional education and resource \n\n\n\n-and much more! \n\n\n\nWant to know more? Read Nell Stamper’s article about the training she attended at Klootchy Creek in 2021: https://nw-trail.org/ride-leader-training.communicating  \n\n\n\nThis class is limited to 6 people. Pre-registration required. \n\n\n\nBring your helmet\, bike in good working condition\, clothing\, layers\, tools appropriate for the day\, water\, and snacks.  \n\n\n\nCurrent First aid/CPR certification or a Wilderness First Aid certification is highly recommended for ride leaders but is not required for attendance in this course. \n\n\n\nSunday\, August 7th\, 2022\, Rocky Point 9am – 11:30 am. \n\n\n\nNWTA membership is required to access Rocky Point. Learn more at nw-trail.org \n\n\n\nCOVID Protocols \n\n\n\nDue to COVID-19 bring a mask with you\, you cannot maintain safe social distancing. We have also had to limit the number of participants. Please make sure to pre-register. \n\n\n\nOnce registered\, please sign the waiver HERE \n\n\n\nHave questions? Email elaine.b@elainebbikes.com

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 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 learn to ride in an organized manner into and out of the trails at Rocky Point. Riders will work on balancing and improving shifting over varying terrain\, including trails and rolling terrain\, and corner with more confidence\, and 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 drops 6-10” high – if they want to. The wheels may leave the ground on drops\, but we aren’t jumping 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 **We will have helmets to loan!  \n\n\n\n-Water bottle and snacks \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-Pack 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\nHave questions?

 \n\n\n\nBeginners are riders with some experience but want to be more confident and have more fun riding a bike on “Green” mountain bike trails as well as dirt\, grass\, and varied terrain. You can shift gears\, corner\, climb and descend\, but there are a few places where they need to get off the bike to walk. You are interested in rolling over taller features\, and possibly riding pump tracks (or rolling terrain) without pedaling the whole time. You can ride 2 miles or more on a trail or bike path. \n\n\n\nThis class is for: a beginning to intermediate rider who has taken a class or two but wants some skills to handle some more technical features. \n\n\n\nDuring this class: Riders will review their basic body position and spend more time riding over varying terrain including trails and rolling terrain\, as well as brake and corner with more confidence. They’ll learn to climb\, descend and ride faster; they’ll also learn slow-riding skills to have fun riding more technical trails with features up to 2” high or so on the way up and up to 4” or so high on the way down. We will also discuss riding in a group and trail etiquette\, basic bike fit information\, decision-making on the trail on whether to ride a feature or not and safe bailout techniques when things get too interesting.  \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:  \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-Tools for moving the seat up and down if necessary \n\n\n\n-Pack 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\nOnce registered\, please sign the waiver HERE \n\n\n\nNWTA follows the current state-mandated protocols.
