Kids' Ride at Rocky Point - 9/10
2023-09-10 13:30 - 15:30
Kids’ guided mountain bike ride at Rocky Point; ages 7-12.

register here

Join us for a guided ride on some of the best trails around!

These 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.

We will regroup at trail intersections and as needed for snacks or layer changes.

Rider Experience: Beginner/intermediate with 1-2+ years of riding on dirt trails. Ages 7-12.

Beginner 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.

Intermediate 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.

During 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.

Bike:* 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.

Required Gear:

-A properly fitting helmet in good condition and is less than 5 years old*

-Water bottle that fits in a bottle cage or backpack with a bladder

-Clothing appropriate for the weather

-Tools for moving the seat up and down if necessary

-Backpack to carry layers, snacks, tools and water

Recommended Gear:

-Full fingered gloves

-Knee and elbow protection

-Eye protection

-Tools and supplies to change a flat tire (with assistance!)

*We have helmets and bikes to loan; it’s helpful if you reach out in advance to indicate your rider’s need and size.

Email elaine.b@elainebbikes.com with any questions and for bike/helmet loans.

Once registered, please sign the waiver for your MINOR Child HERE

*﻿*PLEASE NOTE: Rocky Point trail system access requires NWTA membership. Join today at www.nw-trail.org/join. Membership supports trail construction, maintenance, and events like this to help increase access to the outdoors and this wonderful sport!

These rides will start out with reviewing the most basic skills and will offer light instruction as needed for particular features. We will have a single group and split the group into smaller groups as staffing allows. We will ride to the level of the least experienced riders. This is a no drop ride (no riders left behind).

We will regroup at trail intersections and as needed for snacks or layer changes.

Rider Experience: Beginner with very little experience on dirt trails

These riders are already comfortable riding a bike but have very little if any experience riding on dirt or gravel. 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 riding on dirt, exploring green trails and learning more about mountain biking. They can ride 1-2 miles on a trail or bike path.

During this ride: these riders will learn how to balance over varying terrain, braking and cornering techniques, how and when to stand on the pedals and shift. They’ll practice getting on and off the bike and learn how to push the bike up or down places they don’t feel quite ready to ride!

Maximum Number of Participants per class: 8 (wait list available). For ages 18+.

Bike:* 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.

Required Gear:

-A properly fitting helmet in good condition and is less than 5 years old*

-Water bottle that fits in a bottle cage or backpack with bladder

Trail School: Benching Clinic - 2/18
2023-02-18 10:00 - 15:00 | Rocky Point Central Trailhead, Rocky Point Central Trailhead, Portland, OR, 97231, United States
The Trail Sustainability Institute presents its first focused benching clinic at Rocky Point Trails.

REGISTER HERE.

The Trail Sustainability Institute (TSI) presents its first focused clinic on how to properly bench cut a trail. This clinic’s instruction centers around the proper techniques and approaches when establishing or maintaining a trail’s bench.

What the heck is a bench? We are glad you asked!

A bench is what is left after the excavation of a hillside to create a back slope and trail tread. This can be the most substantial part of establishing a trail that winds along a hillside.

Join TSI while we pilot this skill-specific clinic. As we look to the future, we hope to offer more opportunities for these types of distinctive skill-building clinics. Stay tuned!
