SUMMARY:Everwild: Women’s MTB Day at Hale
DESCRIPTION:Let’s celebrate the power of women on mountain bikes.\n\n\nEverwild creates a space for women of all skills and abilities to advance the sport and build community through wellness\, whether you’re a veteran rider or someone who has never been on a mountain bike. \nSkill clinics cover the essentials of mountain biking\, introduce the fundamentals of jumping\, develop advanced skills\, and more! Workshops explore bike mechanics\, nutrition\, strength\, and mobility. \nLocal food vendors and craft brewers will fuel your day\, including Black Hat Brew Works. Demo bikes will be available. \nThis event welcomes and respects all women\, inclusively defined—this includes trans women and those who are nonbinary\, gender non-conforming\, and any others who identify as women in ways that are significant to them.  \nPlease note that we require a name for each attendee. If registering a minor\, please use the minor’s name with a parent’s or guardian’s email address. All riders should be comfortable on bikes\, independently and without training wheels. \nBe among the first 100 people to register and receive a free pair of Everwild socks! \n\n\nClinic Descriptions\n \nYouth Essentials (Ages 8-13)\nReview and practice the essentials in a controlled environment as you focus on the importance of body positioning and technical skills such as braking\, shifting\, and steering. This clinic includes small features\, drills\, and demonstrations. \n\nAdult Essentials (Ages 14+)\nReview and practice the essentials in a controlled environment as you focus on the importance of body positioning and technical skills such as braking\, shifting\, and steering. This clinic includes small features\, drills\, and demonstrations. \n \nAdult Progression (Ages 14+)\nThis clinic is for intermediate riders. Discover the importance and power of body positioning and learn to navigate tight situations\, work on climbing and descending\, tackle tough features\, and practice cornering. This clinic spends more time on open trails and stops to session certain features. \n \nAdult Advanced (Ages 14+)\nIntermediate+/advanced: this clinic is a more extended\, advanced approach to the skills riders already have. Emphasis on the progression in technique with more advanced maneuvers of the rider’s skills. Cornering\, braking\, slow speed\, balance\, body bike position\, wheel lifts\, variance of these skills\, switch backs\, basic drops\, vision\, and more. A great opportunity to expand the solid techniques you may already be using while making your riding fun. \n\nAdult Intro to Jump (Ages 14+)\nMake progress with fellow riders as you go from wheel lifts to bunny hops to small gap jumps. These clinics explore the mechanics of taking off and safely landing on flats and descents. Expand your riding capabilities to confidently hit trail features you wouldn’t have before. \n\nAdult Corners\, Hops\, & Drops (Ages 14+)\nMountain biking involves a blend of technique\, control\, and confidence. Mastering cornering and jumping\, from small hops to more significant drops\, opens up a new level of riding skill\, fun\, and freedom on the trails. This course will expand on the essential techniques\, body positioning\, and line vision to help you stay in control while tackling corners and learning to “pop” off objects and jumps. \nAdult Trailside Repairs & Basic Suspension Set-Up (Ages 14+) \nTrailside Repairs will help you conquer common trail-side challenges with confidence. Get the hang of fixing flat tires\, whether with traditional tubes or tubeless setups\, master derailleur and chain troubleshooting\, and tackle broken spokes like a pro. Don’t let mechanical setbacks derail your ride—learn to keep your mountain bike rolling smoothly! \nBasic Suspension Set-Up will explore the fundamentals of suspension\, unraveling vocabulary that often mystifies riders. Empower yourself by learning how and when to fine-tune your bike’s suspension\, then apply this new knowledge by checking and adjusting your own bike’s settings. \n\n\nMTB for More \nMountain bikers of all ages are drawn to Hale’s rugged\, varied terrain just miles from Boston’s city line\, and we’ve been eagerly expanding our youth mountain biking programs over the past five years. \nHale MTB Camp focuses on skill-building and ride time for an existing community of young mountain bikers. Hale is growing its community through a fantastic team of volunteer coaches\, rides\, races\, and events for mountain bikers of all ages. Intrepid Academy at Hale students enjoy rides during their semester. Hale is growing its community through a fantastic team of volunteer coaches\, rides\, races\, and events for mountain bikers of all ages. \nWe’re thrilled with our progress and are helping hundreds of riders advance\, but with your help\, we can do more. \nThank you for supporting MTB opportunities for youth by making your donation today. \nHale is a nonprofit that serves 20\,000 people every year\, and we count on donations from people like you to help us provide outdoor experiences for all.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox Hike
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the first day of spring with a hike!\n\n\nJoin us for a hike to celebrate the beginning of spring. Light refreshments will be available. Parking is at Hale’s Trading Post. This family-friendly hike to Storrow Pond will leave from there at 6:15 PM and is expected to take 30–45 minutes. Park Ranger Tom will join us and be available for all of your Hale wildlife questions. Appropriate footwear is recommended. All ages are welcome\, but please note the trail is not accessible to strollers. \n\n\nAbout Storrow Pond \nStorrow Pond once served as the focal point and swimming hole of Camp Storrow. Its dam was built on the east side of Goat Island (the large rock on its shore) and on August 12\, 1926\, Robert Sever Hale turned the valve that checked the flow of Wilson’s Brook (now Powissett Brook). \nIn May 1926\, a camp headquarters cabin of split cedar logs was constructed nearby. In 1928\, a fireplace was added. The building was lost in a fire decades ago\, but the fireplace and chimney remain. \nOriginally dammed with rocks\, the pond was nearly destroyed in the early 1970s. Instead\, water from the pond was drained\, and thousands of fish were netted and relocated to Noanet and Powissett Ponds. Mortar and cement were poured between the rocks to create a secure concrete wall. The restoration was complete by 1974. \nWhile Storrow Pond no longer serves as a swimming hole\, Hale works to control algae\, milfoil\, and other nuisance vegetation to maintain this healthy freshwater aquatic system. It’s an excellent place to listen to the sounds of nature and appreciate Hale’s diverse wildlife. \n\n\nHale is a nonprofit that serves 20\,000 people every year\, and we count on donations from people like you to help us provide outdoor experiences for all. Your gift makes great programs and events like this one possible. Thank you for helping us steward the land and support our community. \nBy registering for Hale’s events and programs\, you consent to its privacy policy\, media policy\, and refund policies.
