What do I need to bring? All you need are sneakers, a bike, and a smile. Yes, we are serious. You will be provided with first-rate safety equipment when paddling or climbing. You may want to bring a change of clothes, food or drink, or linger at the Rivers Edge restaurant for tremendous food and drink.
How do I find a bike? It does not have to be a fancy mountain bike. Friends or neighbors may help. First-rate mountain bikes are available for rent at www.usnwc.org. Some of our favorite retail stores also rent bicycles.
I am nervous. What should I do? Come sample the USNWC before signing up for the series. On Wednesday, August 19 from 6:30-8:30 we will host a FREE meet-up event. Meet at the far end of the parking lot. Bring your bicycle and sneakers. There will be a short tour of the facilities, then a short bicycle ride and a short hike. Bring a friend if you wish…
How competitive is this series? That all depends on you. There are two categories 1) participant level, or 2) competitive level. We want you to have fun…

[insert sub-link to a simple table with tabs for this information: name, email address, phone number, best time to call, mailing address for cash back check, #anticipated in group, marketing ideas, sponsorship ideas, other…]
How does my group collect 5% cash back? Once your group is registered, we encourage you to market this series in any way you can. Viral marketing works! We want you to use this series as a fundraiser. After the series, from October 1-15, 2009 just contact us. We will confirm with that contact person and send your checks out.
What happens on Wednesday, Sept 30? We will celebrate the series with a bonfire, Mountain Films, and awards.
Do I have to do the September series in order to do the Family Olympics Day on October 17? No, they are separate events. Naturally, we want to see you and your friends at each. However, they are separate registrations. And we encourage you to use the series to gain some skills and confidence, then share the USNWC with others!
