In addition to a brief NWTA update, we will hold our annual election for our Board of Directors. Two current Board members, Nell Stamper and Scooter Sutterer, will be presented for re-election; and we’re beyond excited to present to our membership three additional Board members for our all-volunteer, working Board: Chloe Hammond-Bradley, Will Heiberg, and Charlie Kohlmeier. Join us as well to thank Colin Marthaller and Owen Rodabaugh, who are concluding their time serving on the NWTA Board. We look forward to their continued volunteer work with NWTA moving forward, and seeing them out on the trails!
We had an incredibly strong reception to our call for board applications, it was amazing to see so many people wanting to serve the NWTA mountain bike community. Thank you to everyone who applied, and to our Nominating Committee volunteers who reviewed applications. We couldn’t do this without you!

BYOB- Bring Your Own Bike (the beer is on us!)
Have you ever spent time dialing in your suspension to your weight and riding style? What is rebound? What is compression dampening? What air pressure should you run? We can help! Whether you are riding SRAM or Fox, we can advise and help you set your squish up to its maximum potential!
Having trouble with your tubeless tires? Do you want to learn some tricks and techniques to set it up and maintain it? We can help!
Is your bike always squeaking or constantly being neglected? We can show you some quick after-ride habits that can help prolong the life of your chain and get you back on the trail faster on your next trip.
*Space is limited* We ask that you keep your commitment and show up. If you are unable to attend, please give 24 hours notice so your spot can be offered to someone else. Thanks!
NWTA Membership dollars make events like these possible. If you are not a member or need to renew your membership, you can do so HERE to join nearly 6,000 other mountain bikers in our community!
