Trail Ambassador Training: 3/21

The group
Back: Keith, Aaron, Ed, Ryan, Rich & John
Front: Dave, Melissa, official CT NEMBA hound Roxie, and Eric (CT NEMBA)

On Sat March 21st CT NEMBA held it's first of two TA orientation sessions for the spring at Brooksvale Park in Hamden. We had about 10 new TA's signed up from as far and wide as Farmington, Hartford, Cheshire, Milford, and Greenwich. The session seemed to go over well with lots of enthusiastic discussion among the participants about mountain biking, the TA program, their local riding, and ways to make mtn biking better in CT for us all!

After some bagels and coffee courtesy of CT NEMBA and a couple hours of discussion around the TA program we got down to the real fun stuff... A ride! We headed up into the Naugatuck State forest for a couple of hours of riding on a wonderful spring day with temps in the low 50s and a great group to ride with.

We'll be doing it again on Apr 19 and hope you can make it!
