The NMBA Intro/Novice Ride is entering it's third year!
NMBA will be holding its first 2009 Intro/Novice Rides Thursday May 14th at two locations. The more advanced ride will start at the Tussey/Galbraith Gap parking lot and the less advanced ride will start at a new location off of Pine Hall Rd. Both rides will be rolling by 6pm.
The Intro/Novice rides are meant to be a gathering for beginner/novice riders who want to get out in the woods without the worry about whether they're going to be able to "keep up" or "hold people back".
Throughout the summer we plan to cover things like:
- Nice trails in the area to ride
- Trail etiquette and responsible trail use
- How to do simple repairs (fix a flat, fix a chain, etc)
- How to traverse small obstacles
- Anything else MTB-related that people want to learn...
- Lots of Riding !
Riders should bring their MTB-style bike and a helmet.
These rides will be held each Thursday night through the summer as long as there is interest. The location may vary, so the forums or the calendar entry (on the front page) should be consulted each week to find out where to meet.
