NWTA's Sandy Ridge Shuttle Fundraiser
Reserve your spot today!
 | | What can you get for $20? |
Celebrate National Trails Day with the NWTA by joining us at Sandy Ridge shuttle days June 1st and 2nd. We're hoping to sell out all available rider spaces (75 per day). All funds (after expenses) will go to trail funds specifically for Sandy Ridge.
Details: We will have partner bike shop mechanic tents, a first aid tent, and NWTA Bike Patrol, and an opportunity to participate in an exciting new raffle! You are on your own for lunch (pack food or head to a nearby restaurant).
There will be 3 stakebed shuttle trucks... self-load and hold your own bike. Shuttle trucks will run at regular intervals from 9:30am to 4:30pm from trailhead loading zone to top of the trail system. Current NWTA members will receive an NWTA branded pint glass as a special gift at sign-in day of event! So if you are not current, now's the time to renew at www.imba.com/join. We'll have a list of current members at the event in case you haven't gotten your card yet, but bring it if you can to save time.
Care to volunteer? We have a few spots left and volunteers get a free shuttle pass so go sign up at http://nw-trail.org/volunteer and then
scroll down to view shuttle day jobs. Register now to secure your spot!
See you there!
