Come join us for our annual fall trip to beautiful Walla Walla. You will love the change of pace from Seattle -- long stretches of road with little traffic, less hurried drivers, and lots of great sights to see.
This is a three day weekend of riding, but feel free to join for whichever rides work for your schedule -- Friday (9:30 AM),Saturday (9 AM), and Sunday (8:30 AM). Please arrive 20 minutes prior to the ride start time to sign a liability form and get ready to roll out at the time listed. We will start the weekend with a nice 55-65 miles ride on Friday, followed by the longest ride on Saturday, then shorter recovery ride on Sunday. Paces offered will be steady (12-14 on flats), moderate (14-16 mph on flats), brisk (16-18 on flats), vigorous (18-20 on flats), and strenuous (20-21 on flats).
This route DOES NOT start in Walla Walla. We will start our ride on Saturday from Preston Park in Waitsburg (a 20-25 minute drive from Walla Walla). Starting at this location opened up an opportunity for a really neat route that you will all enjoy. We start from the city park (please review the route link or Geocode above for start location). We will stop at Laht Neppur Brewing on the way into town for food and beer and to socialize before returning back to Walla Walla.
Cancellation Policy: Steady Rain Cancels as well as Ice/Snow. Please RSVP (link below) to join the conversation and help us plan the appropriate number of ride leaders. Ride director & leaders will not be at the ride start in the event of hard rain/ice/snow but will be available via phone or email to confirm cancellation. Cancellation will also be posted to Meetup one hour before ride start as necessary.
These rides are not supported. We will provide short rest stops along the route, but please come prepared with your own food and beverages. Hotel accommodations are to be handled by riders individually as needed. Please email the Ride Director with any questions/concerns.
General information on Free Group Rides can be found here. 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.
