SUMMARY:Guided Ride at Cascade Locks (Adult Beginners 18+) - 7/16
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided ride on some of the best trails around!  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\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 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). \n\n\n\nWe will regroup at trail intersections and as needed for snacks or layer changes. \n\n\n\nRider Experience: Beginner with very little experience on dirt trails \n\n\n\nThese 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. \n\n\n\nDuring 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! \n\n\n\nMaximum Number of Participants per class: 8 (wait list available). For ages 18+. \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 limited sizes of mountain bikes to loan! Please inquire upon registration if you need a loaner bike or helmet.

SUMMARY:Kid's Ride at easyCLIMB (Cascade Locks) - 7/16
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided ride on some of the best trails around!  \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\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.

SUMMARY:!!postponed!! Full Member meeting at Chris King - 8/29
DESCRIPTION:MEMBER MEETING POSTPONED: The full member meeting scheduled for Tuesday\, August 29\, is postponed until early Fall. We are NOT meeting at Chris King tomorrow as scheduled. If you are still free come meet us at Rocky Point\, see below for more details.  \n\n\n\nAdditional administrative changes to the Bylaws have been proposed\, and  the Bylaws as currently written require giving membership 3 weeks to review the proposed changes. The NWTA Board of Directors has also recommended an outside Bylaws professional review of the proposed changes to ensure we’re doing right by our intent to create a more open and equitable voting process that allows greater participation in Board elections.  \n\n\n\nWe know this is an inconvenience\, but the Board is excited to be taking this next big step for the organization in a fair\, transparent manner. \n\n\n\nOn the bright side\, if you’ve already scheduled the time to come to the meeting\, grab your bike and come meet us at Rocky Point! We’ll be grilling hotdogs\, and have chips and beverages for everyone to enjoy. Come get a ride in\, grab a dog and beverage and pick our brain on all things NWTA. We’ll be there from 6:30 till dark. \n\n\n\nSorry for the inconvenience.  \n\n\n\nJered Bogli – Board President \n\n\n\njered@nw-trail.org

Join River City Bicycles\, partnered with the NWTA\, for a night ride at Sandy Ridge. First time riding at night? It’s not as scary as it sounds\, we promise. This Halloween weekend is the perfect time to light up the woods and face those fears! \n\n\n\nWe plan to break into two groups\, Beginners and Intermediates. The Beginner route will cover ~5 miles and ~1000 feet of elevation. The Intermediate route will cover ~10 miles and ~2000 feet of elevation gain. Both routes should take around two hours. \n\n\n\nThe ride’s open to all genders\, and will be led by women from River City Bicycles. \n\n\n\nPlease bring 2-3 helmet- or handlebar-mounted lights\, and any additional glow-in-the-dark\, light-up costumes for yourself or your bike (just make sure everything is secure\, so we don’t litter the trails with shedding glow sticks). \n\n\n\nMeet at the Sandy Ridge Trailhead Parking Lot at 4:30pm\, to roll by 5:00pm. \n\n\n\nQuestions can be directed to Isabella at isabellat@rivercitybicycles.com. \n\n\n\nSIGN YOUR WAIVER \n\n\n\nOnce registered\, please sign the waiver HERE. \n\n\n\nEvents like these are made possibly by membership dollars. If you are not a NWTA member\, what are you waiting for? Come JOIN over 5\,000 other mountain bikers in your community. We are stronger together!
