SUMMARY:Suspension Clinic: Get Dialed in with Trek and SRAM - 5/13
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning how to dial in your suspension on your bike? 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.

SUMMARY:Ride Leader Training at Gateway Green - 5/31

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 & 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.
