SUMMARY:Ride Leader Training at LL Stub Stewart State Park - 4/8
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 and 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. This training is open to all levels of riders; beginner to advanced.  \n\n\n\nNote: This is not a skills clinic\, and skills will not be coached at this clinic \n\n\n\nThis class is limited to NWTA members (see other information on how to become a member if you are not already).  \n\n\n\nPre-registration for this training is required. \n\n\n\nTopics covered in training: \n\n\n\n\nPreparing for a ride\, including planning and the ride\, \n\n\n\nLearning what goes in your backpack and what to bring along\n\n\n\nHow to assess whether a rider is at a level to enjoy the ride you’re planning\n\n\n\nHow to manage the group and what to do if something goes wrong\n\n\n\nHow to describe upcoming trail features\n\n\n\nPractice leading and sweeping a ride\n\n\n\nDiscussing liability: what is your exposure? Do you need insurance or permits?\n\n\n\nRecommendations for additional education and resource\n\n\n\nThis training can help prepare a person to succeed in the BICP’s standalone Ride Leader Certification online course. This certification is not necessary to hold group rides for NWTA.\n\n\n\n\nQualifications & Commitments: \n\n\n\n\nRepresent and follow NWTA trail etiquette \n\n\n\nAbility to commit to leading 1-2 rides per year\, weekday evenings or weekends (sign up link)\n\n\n\nUnderstand the difference between a ride leader and an instructor. A ride leader is watching out for safety concerns and cannot teach/coach on skills\n\n\n\nUnderstand that leading a ride\, is not hosting a clinic/ teaching skills\n\n\n\nKnowledge and comfort of local trails\n\n\n\nEnjoying riding in a group setting\n\n\n\nWillingness and ability to create a safe and fun engaging environment\n\n\n\nCurrent First aid/CPR certification or a Wilderness First Aid certification is highly recommended for ride leaders (it is not required for attendance in this training)\n\n\n\n\nWhat to bring: \n\n\n\nRequired Gear:  \n\n\n\n\nA properly fitting helmet in good condition \n\n\n\nWater bottle and snacks\n\n\n\nClothing appropriate for the weather\n\n\n\nTools for moving the seat up and down if necessary\n\n\n\nPack to carry layers\, snacks\, tools and water\n\n\n\nBike: For this class\, you may bring a mountain bike or hybrid in good working condition with tires suitable for dirt trails. No kickstands or street/smooth tires. Flat pedals are recommended but not required. Fenders are OK as long as they don’t make noise or interfere with the seat\, because we may move the seat up and down for some demos\n\n\n\n\nRecommended Gear: \n\n\n\n\nFull fingered gloves\n\n\n\nKnee and elbow protection\n\n\n\nEye protection\n\n\n\nTools and supplies to change a flat tire\n\n\n\n\nDate\, Time & Location: \n\n\n\nSaturday\, April 8th 2023\, LL Stub Stuart\, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nA social to be hosted afterwards \n\n\n\nOther information: \n\n\n\nNorthwest Trail Alliance (NWTA) is a membership organization dedicated to creating\, enhancing\, and protecting mountain bike riding opportunities; advocating for trail access; promoting responsible mountain biking; and building\, maintaining\, and riding sustainable trails.

SUMMARY:Kid's Beginner Ride at Stub Stewart - 4/8
DESCRIPTION:Kids guided ride on all the best trails at Stub Stewart State Park.  \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\nJoin 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) as staffing allows. Each group will have at least two adult leaders and up to 8 kids per group. \n\n\n\nWe will regroup at trail intersections and as needed for snacks or layer changes. \n\n\n\nRider Experience: Beginner (Green Geckos)\, intermediate (Leapin’ Lizards) with 1-2+ years of riding on dirt trails \n\n\n\nThese 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 will have helmets and bikes to loan!

Join Trek and SRAM at Gateway Green on May 13th and learn how to setup your suspension\, how and why to make adjustments\, and when to get your suspension serviced. \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\nBring your bike\, helmet and be ready to ride. We will be taking a few laps with your suspension in different settings.  \n\n\n\nFor those who come\, please meet at the grassy area in between the pump track and bathrooms.  \n\n\n\nSpace is limited\, please sign up and more importantly\, show up! (psst.. you won’t regret it!) \n\n\n\nThe Fine Print: \n\n\n\nEvents like these are made possible through NWTA membership dollars. If you are a member\, THANK YOU! If you are not\, please consider JOINING 5\,500 other mountain bikers in the greater Portland area who are making trails and events like these and so many more possible \n\n\n\nMountain biking requires riders to confront their fears\, biases\, and preconceived notions: we know what it feels like to be fearful\, uncomfortable\, and out of our element while on a ride. While we believe that everyone’s barriers should be respected\, we know that mutual support will help get us past those barriers. We must boost each other up and push ourselves to improve both on and off the bike. NWTA wants a world where everyone feels welcome\, safe\, and free in the outdoors. As an organization\, the NWTA is committed to creating a pathway to nature for everyone\, regardless of socioeconomic status\, race\, gender\, religion\, sexual orientation\, gender identity\, disability\, faith\, and country of origin.
