MTB 201: Intro to Technical Riding

Would you consider yourself an intermediate rider? We know the term is rather broad but basically if you aren’t brand new (if so, see our 100 level classes) and you don’t feel particularly advanced or totally proficient in the wide variety of skills required to excel at mountain biking, you could probably describe yourself as “intermediate”. If this is you then consider signing up for our 200 level series of classes.

Radical Ripper Meet-Up and Info Session

Radical Ripper Meet-Up and Info Session

Join us for a fun afternoon at Lake Padden (weather permitting) The Transition Outpost to see what all the Radical Ripper hype is about.  The weather forecast for Saturday morning is looking grim so we will head indoors for this free event.

This casual, fun, on-bike session is to help riders meet other Rippers, get introduced to some coaches, and get info about the program to see if it is a fit for you/your rider. All coaches and previous Rippers are invited and encouraged to bring friends who may be interested in signing up for the season.  We will have some fun activities planned for a fun and social time. No bikes needed.

If you have always wondered what Radical Rippers is about - this is a great way to experience it before you commit to the 8 week program. 

If your rider is graduating from Flying Squirrels and is nervous or apprehensive about Radical Rippers - this is the perfect opportunity to calm nerves and get excited for the Spring season. Come alone or bring some friends. No previous experience required.

Let's grow!

Transition Outpost is located at 5090 Samish Way and will have a variety of beverages and snacks available for purchase while we hang out.

Gear Gathering at the Bike Ranch
Mar

Gear Gathering at the Bike Ranch

Join us, Radical Roots MTB, WMBC JoyRiders, and Shifting Gears for the Gear Gathering & Ladies* Night at the Bike Ranch!

All ages are welcome from 4:30-6:30pm and adults, 18+, are welcome until 8:30pm.

The Bike Ranch (TBR) is a privately owned, covered pump track just outside of town and a perfect venue for practicing bike handling skills and connecting with our community. All levels are welcomed and we will have some coaches on hand to offer pointers for safe, fun progression.

We will also be hosting a "Gear Gathering" throughout the night, so if you have some new or slightly used cycling gear that you want to pass along (clothing, knee pads, shoes, gloves, etc), we will stage a specially designed "shopping spree" to help riders get and give gear. All sizes are welcome, as there will be kids and adults attending.

Along with any gear you want to donate, don't forget to bring some warm layers and a helmet, bring a bike, or borrow one from The Bike Ranch demo fleet.

The ideal bike for TBR is a BMX or Dirt Jump/Pumptrack bike, so leave your MTBs at home. Come alone or bring some friends; parking is tight, so carpooling is encouraged.

We suggest a $5-$10 donation for the venue, but no registration or sign-ups are required. We'll have a bonfire going to keep us warm between riding laps on the track, and we will have snacks and refreshments to keep you fueled.

You are NOT going to want to miss this fun bike-centric party at The Bike Ranch with a Gear Gathering!
