Summer Ride Series – Norris Area Trail System

Join NATS this summer for a fun, beginner-friendly mountain bike ride series designed to showcase the trails of Norris and welcome new riders to the sport.

The series includes three group rides on June 20, July 18, and August 22, 2026. Riders will meet at Clinch River Brewery and explore a different 10–12 mile route each month, highlighting the variety of trails within the NATS system.

All rides are No Drop Rides, meaning the group will stop and regroup at intersections so everyone can ride at a comfortable pace. Please note that Class I E-bikes with pedal assist only are allowed. The focus is on fun, confidence-building, and introducing riders to the trails in a supportive environment.

The registration fee is $25 and includes all three rides plus a Summer Ride Series T-shirt. Thanks to our sponsor, Clinch River Brewery, registered riders will receive their first drink free after each ride.
