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.

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
