Women & Non-Binary Only Ride around Redmond

Please note, this is a Women and Non-binary ride only. W&NB rides are only for individuals that identify as a woman or non-binary, including trans-gender women and cis-gender women. Male identifying riders can support this group best by finding other appropriate rides on the Free Group Rides calendar and leaving this space for W&NB riders.  

Join us for a ride for NEWER riders. We will start at the Starbucks at Redmond Town Center and do a 13 mile route at a Steady pace of 12-14 mph. We will stay mostly on the trails, but there will be some road riding and this ride has one gentle hill. Our goal will be to stay together. 

We welcome all to have coffee at Starbucks after the ride where we can talk everything cycling and Cascade's different rides programs and events.   

Please be in front of Starbucks promptly at 9:30 am and be ready to ride. We will start with a required safety briefing and then begin riding when that's done.  If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.   

If you are unsure of your pace or are a new rider, please contact me to determine if the pace would be appropriate. 

Restrooms are available next to Starbucks.   

If a rider has a mechanical issue, we will stop to assist the rider.  If there is a major mechanical issue preventing a roadside fix, we will ensure the rider has a safe means to return to the start or home. Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case.

If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and the Ride Leader will not be a the start location. 

Helmets are required.

If you don’t have full fenders and the roads are wet, you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

We hope you will join us!
