Demo Pedals from OneUp Components

Try out some of OneUp Component's newest Pedals including The Wave Range.

Get ultimate grip and bike control with the innovative Wave profile.

Most flat pedal profiles are either convex or concave. Wave is a patented hybrid convex/concave shape that promotes an aggressive heels-dropped riding position and gives you a more natural pedal stroke when seated. With Wave, your foot is being held by the shape of the pedal - not just the pins.

Demo Bikes from Specialized

Get a chance to ride the brand new StumpJumper 15!

First come, first serve.

Arrive at 9 - 9:30am to secure a bike.

Coffee from Gradient Coffee & MiiR- Free Miir Camp mugs for the first 78 people.

Beer from Coast Mountain Brewing

Food from Hunter Gather

Come for the riding, stay for the coffee, food, and post-ride drinks. All courtesy of our awesome food and beverage partners.

MTB Coach Robbie

A lifelong mountain biker and natural teacher, Robbie has been building community and coaching in the PNW for many years. His unique airbag and ramp jump set up is the perfect place to improve your mountain bike skills in a fun, safe environment!

Robbie teaches the distilled fundamentals of mountain bike riding, uniquely shaping his approach to relate to any student. With an iron clad understanding of perfect form, coach Robbie addresses fear, self talk, and progression in a safe and controlled setting.

Warm and welcoming, Robbie loves to engage with the MTB community. Perhaps you’ve met him while out riding your bike, working on his flow or building trail. Connecting with his audience is where his talent and passion lay. His accommodating and patient nature helps to create a meaningful lesson that is perfect for you- whatever your age or ability.

Ride with MTB Coach Robbie

Women's ride presented by the Donut Squad!

A community built by a group of local 'sladyies' who met through mountain bike amateur enduro racing and a love for a really good times on bikes.

They shared a collective passion for playing bikes, tackling new challenges, and meeting new, interesting humans and yet felt something was missing-an inclusive and easily accessible community for all.

Thus, Donut Squad was born. A community built to create inclusive spaces that welcome all humans (specifically women-identifying and non-binary riders) interested in riding bikes, new adventures, giving back to their community and creating new connections

Give them a follow!
