Ride Series

Saturday training rides of increasing distance and elevation gain starting from Magnuson Park in Seattle offered from early April through mid-August. 

This is a fee-based 12 week series of rides geared toward training riders for Cascade's major events (like STP) that take place later in the spring and summer.

Held on Sundays, from January through March, with routes focused on climbing local hills to gain fitness.

Cycle the Gap (CTG) is a five-week series of rides to help folks get in shape for Cascade's Ride from Seattle to Vancouver and Party (RSVP) and other late summer events. CTG runs for five Saturdays, the first being Saturday after the Seattle to Portland Ride and the final ride the week before RSVP. CTG is designed to help maintain endurance and strength. The rides will incrementally increase in distance and elevation gain starting at around 40 miles and concluding with an 80-mile ride.

Paceline skills, safe group riding, and fitness are the focal points for the Cycle Tuesday and More Cycle Tuesday rides.

Eastside Hills rides are challenging, hilly rides intended to help strong riders maintain and improve their fitness.   The rides are generally 50 - 60 miles with 3000 - 4000' of climbing, and they follow a variety of routes east of Lake Washington starting from the Kirkland Transit Center.  Eastside Hills rides are offered year-round, usually at a Brisk pace but occasionally Vigorous or faster.
