Ride Contact
Event has already happened.
Come join us for our springtime trip to beautiful Walla Walla. The fields will be starting to grow and scenery shall be a site to see. We have coupled this weekend with the annual Balloon Stampede in which private owners from all around the country come to bring their hot air balloons for lift off. It's truely interesting to watch.
We will ride each day -- Friday (9:30 AM), Saturday (8:30 AM), and Sunday (9:45 AM). Please arrive 20 minutes prior to the ride start time. Routes are being planned, so stay tuned. My plan is to ride between 35-90 miles with a mid-length route on Friday, long route Sat, and shorter route Sunday. Final routes will be posted below in the comments and on Meetup.
Paces offered will be steady (12-14 on flats), moderate (14-16 mph on flats), brisk (16-18 on flats), and strenuous (19-21 on flats).

As customary for all Cascade rides, please make sure you wear a helmet and have necessary gear and knowledge to fix any flats you might get along the way. The group will not stop for flats or mechanicals, but our sweeps will ensure you have a cue sheet to continue the ride.
We will also have events planned each day. They will be posted to Meetup as plans are finalized.
IMPORTANT: The will be a busy weekend for Walla Walla. Please book a hotel reservation early if you plan to attend. The Walla Walla Vineyard Inn/Red Lion is the hotel of choice thus far.
