Arriving just in time for the holidays, and ahead of the 2027 season, we're excited to share the launch of several changes to our membership program. With a new Premium Membership offering, Gift Memberships, and a refresh of the existing membership levels, we have something for everyone!

Premium Memberships

We've been hard at work designing a new membership level that encourages you to get on your bike and join Cascade out on the road. Introducing the Premium Membership, our most value-oriented membership ever offered!

Premium Memberships offer the incremental benefits of one-day ride registrations, additional ride discounts, and jerseys. Those added benefits alone are valued at up to $250 and $560 versus the comparable Standard Individual and Household Memberships. But you'll pay much less than that for the Premium Membership, so it's a deal worth looking into!

Already a member? It's easy to upgrade to Premium. You'll pay a prorated price based on the remainder of time left on your active membership, and your full Premium benefits are available immediately.

Gift Memberships

Online Gift Memberships are finally here, and perfect for the holidays or any year-round celebration! Purchasing a Gift Membership is quick and easy – all you need is your gift recipient's name and email address.

Worried that your gift recipient might already have an active Cascade membership? We've got you covered! If your recipient has an active membership, your Gift Membership can still be redeemed by the recipient, and will kick-in once their active one expires.

Member Jerseys

What better way to show your support of Cascade than by sporting our member jersey out in the wild? We've partnered with Voler to produce a custom, limited edition, members-only jersey that is made-to-order in the USA. The jersey is available in two styles: short sleeve (men's, women's, and youth sizes) and long sleeve (men's and women's sizes). The men's and women's short sleeve jersey comes in a traditional club fit, or a more snug, race fit. 

Designs will change each year, and our first design focuses on a clean look, incorporating a topo background, with elements of Cascade branding, a bold blue color, gradient colored sleeves, and inner collar imprinted with "Member 2027."

Initially, the member jersey will only be available through the purchase of our new Premium Memberships.

Discounted Memberships

Cascade remains committed to bringing the joys of safe and accessible bicycling to everyone in Washington, and we continue to offer lower cost options. 

Now available are Discounted Memberships which replace the former Limited Income Memberships. Those who meet the qualification criteria are welcome to purchase one of four Discounted Memberships: Senior, Community Access, Educator, and Student. If you qualify for a Discounted Membership, you'll be asked to re-verify your status annually through a quick and easy process!

Champion Memberships

We have discontinued offering this level of membership, which previously provided the added benefits of complimentary companion codes for rides, and invite-only Champions rides to a Standard Household Membership. Those benefits will continue to exist under a Champions Circle designation achieved through a minimum cumulative donation of $1,000 to Cascade across a 12-month period. For more information on the Champions Circle program, email give@cascade.org
