A lovely day for a Free Group Ride on the Cedar River Trail

Biking the Cedar River and Soos Creek Trails on a Free Group Ride

Free Group Rides are a chance to explore, see wildlife, meet people, and enjoy time outdoors.
In Part Four of our series about limiting “ultra-processed time” we take a Free Group Ride on the Cedar River and Soos Creek trails to refresh our legs, fill our lungs with autumn air, and get a healthy dose of nature.

A Soggy Good Time at Lake Union Family Ride

Meet Kay, Cascade Bicycle Club member

Gen: Millennial
Residence: Bellevue, WA
Kay was introduced to Cascade in 2025 and completed both the Cascade Training Series (CTS) and STP (in two days) that year. She rode STP again in 2026 (this time, in one day!) and added Flying Wheels to her list of completed rides.
In Cascade, Kay's found new friendships and a sense of community, especially among strong women who share the same passion for exercise, self-improvement, and support for others.

Bike and Celebrate the Burke-Gilman Trail Sept. 12

Cascade is holding five Free Group Rides to celebrate the history of Seattle’s Burke-Gilman Trail, which helped inspire a nationwide rails-to-trails movement.
Bike and party with us in Matthews Beach Park on Sept. 12 to commemorate the 1971 “hike-in” that led to the trail’s creation.
