A New Trail Party! You’re invited! Strap on your sneakers, grab your family and friends, and let's hit the trail!
The Know Your Spine Trail Celebration is pedestrian-cycling-scooting-family-dog friendly! This is an open trail event, meaning you can hop on and off anywhere you'd like, perhaps even right at the end of your street. All ages are welcome and encouraged to explore this newly completed 4-mile trail that runs north-south from Elkhorn Boulevard to Airport Road. Hosted stations will be set up along the trail with music, prizes and refreshments. The completion of this trail has been several years in the making. Celebrating this community asset with friends, family and neighbors is sure to be a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. For full map, visit: NNTMA.org/KnowYourSpine

The NNTMA is excited to present an open trail event on Sunday, May 1st from 2-4pm.
The time is upon us: badges, socks, shirts, parties and the ultimate riding goal. Yes, it’s time for MiBM and if you want in, sign up now at 
After much consideration was given to rider suggestions last fall, earlier this year we instituted adjustments to the Flyer Shuttle schedule to improve not only time accuracy but increase route options. For the past three months, we’ve monitored ridership and construction projects along the routes, and received feedback from drivers and you, our riders. After taking all factors into consideration, we have decided to remain with the adjustments that were instituted in January.
Ease into a Sacramento summer with a Neighborhood Ride to East Sac on Saturday, June 11th. We’ll start at the NNTMA office, leaving at 8:30 a.m., then ride to the tree-lined Fabulous 40's neighborhood. After we “ooh” and “ahh” over the architecture, we’ll pedal around Sac State and head for home.
