Bring your ideas.
NakedHearts:PDX (Moorland lead)
Mon, Jun 17, 2024, 7:00 PM
More of a meeting from 7:00-8:00….
Your Hosts are Moorland and other NakedHearts:PDX ride leaders. Please treat this as the start of a conversation that we’re happy to keep having to encourage you to bring your creativity to the bike community. What can you expect? Theme: we’re going to share advice on how to lead a ride. We will go over basics such as route, stops, themes, traffic interactions and safety. How to build a themed, social or party ride. Playlist selection, activities at stops. How to interact with security or Police? And aspects that are more nuanced. We will also cover the foundational and challenging aspects of trusting yourself, being vulnerable by revealing your niche interests and the anxieties that arise and how to find the medicine to these things in the ride itself. Bring your ideas, bring your creativity and we will try and make those part of the ride itself, as well as having people try leading the ride (with support and encouragement). During Pedalpalooza we have several slots set aside for new ride leaders to lead and be fully supported from creation of a ride to the ride itself. Please reach out as soon as possible because these fill quickly. Who are your ride leaders? Moorland: this is me writing this so….I’ve challenged myself into embracing the fear and anxieties around being around people and also expressing my creativity. I can speak to the fear and challenges of ride leading and I can also promise the rewards and gifts it can bring to the heart and our experience are beyond what we can anticipate. I also lead a lot of rides, like a crazy amount, including, what remains the most beautiful ride I’ve experienced, ‘The Opera ride’ I co-lead with Amy ‘Joy’, which was a profoundly serene ride. I also run NakedHearts:PDX and support as many ride leaders as I can. Who are you? You’re you. This is your ride and you belong here. You get to come as you are and maybe you don’t want to lead a ride but just hang out, maybe you want to lead a ride but will feel to nervous to say anything on this ride or maybe to even come to it, that’s ok, you can contact us or speak with us at another ride. Maybe, you’re over flowing with ideas and want help manifesting them and making them happen…. Or maybe you’ve got the desire to lead but struggle with ideas…. We can talk about all the different ways too approach making what you want happen in this space and afterwards.
