At 7pm, we will host an advocacy and engagement panel discussion, where you will hear about some of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into maintaining access to riding locations and increase additional opportunities. This won’t be a boring session, as our goal for the evening will to be to keep it light, lively and entertaining while demystifying the political process behind trail access. We will also be discussing a few simple and fun ways every member can become an advocate in their own way and help to get more knobbies in our neighborhoods!

DOD/SATA/Team Dirt—Joint Build Day
2018-04-22 10:00 - 14:00
Build days at Alsea Falls are back! Join Disciples of Dirt, Salem Area Trail Alliance, and Team Dirt as we return to work and get trails ready for riding this summer.
This is the last of our three joint build days this season between our organizations. Come on out and show your support for more trails in the Willamette Valley. There is a lot of work to be done, from clearing logs and debris to clearing corridor on Misery Whip!
Work begins at 10am and ends at 2pm. Meet at the parking lot on Fall Creek Access Rd. No experience necessary. Bring food and water; wear long pants, sturdy shoes and gloves. Our groups will provide hard hats and tools, but feel free to bring your own.
We may do shuttled rides afterwards, if conditions, weather, time and drivers permit.

Ladies' Social Ride @ Alsea Falls
2018-04-22 07:30 - 10:00
Ladies! Let’s head down to Alsea Falls! The Alsea Falls system is great for riders of all skill levels, but we recommend that you be at least an intermediate beginner for this ride to ensure you have the best time possible. If we have enough folks, we’ll break up the group so the advanced shredders can let loose and the rest of us can enjoy a more leisurely pace.
Come early and help out the folks from Disciples of Dirt, Team Dirt and the Salem Area Trail Alliance as they dial in the amazingly flowy trails at Alsea Falls. Digging starts at 10 (and may earn you a shuttle ride from the hosts). For more details on the trail maintenance and to RSVP for that, check out Team Dirt’s FB event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1850350184996457/
We’ll regroup in the parking lot around 2:30 for the NWTA ride. If you haven’t ridden at Alsea before, here’s your chance to bank some trail karma and get familiar with the trails.
