SUMMARY:Kids' Ride at Sandy Ridge - 7/2
DESCRIPTION:Join 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 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.

SUMMARY:Ride Leader Training at Sandy Ridge - 8/6
DESCRIPTION:NWTA is hosting an Introduction to Ride Leader Training in partnership with Elaine B. Bikes. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\nNWTA is hosting an Introduction to Ride Leader Training in partnership with Elaine B. Bikes. This training 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\nYou will learn how to describe the trail\, pace your group and set expectations for the ride. We will discuss the difference between a skills/clinic instructor and a ride leader\, important safety considerations and even practice skills to help you monitor your riders and what to do if something unexpected happens along the way! This class is also a good introduction to leading rides for anyone interested in becoming a certified Ride Leader. (Visit https://icp.bike/ride-leader/ for more information) \n\n\n\nLeading or helping with group rides is a fun way to find riding buddies\, share enthusiasm for mountain biking\, build community and grow the sport. As a ride leader you will be introducing people to new ways to enjoy a ride more comfortably\, safely\, and confidently. You will also be increasing trail stewardship by getting riders at any level\, especially beginners into the sport or a new to them trail system and creating community for folks new to the area.

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

SUMMARY:GOOD DIRT\, Stop 2: Sandy Ridge - 6/22
DESCRIPTION:Ride MTB with River City Bicycles and NWTA! \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBack by popular demand\, our social mtb trail rides hosted in partnership with Northwest Trail Alliance.These are trail rides\, requiring modern trail-capable mountain bikes\, and some trail riding experience\, that participants love for the opportunity to meet at the trailhead\, be greeted by River City Bicycles and Northwest Trail Alliance\, learn about the trail systems from the folks who know them best\, and have good times riding in a social group-ride format.After riding\, we wrap things up socially with a tailgate grill sesh or picnic\, provided by River City Bicycles. \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\n“Modern trail-capable mountain bikes”: Recreational or enthusiast grade mountain bikes featuring larger volume knobby tires\, suspension\, disc brakes\, dropper-posts\, etc. \n\n\n\n“Some trail riding experience”: We intend for these trail rides to be open to riders of varying ability levels\, but to be prepared\, riders should be fairly comfortable on their bikes and ready to advance from beginner trails—like those found at Gateway Green—to those found at the larger trail systems we’ll be touring.
