Have an e-bike and want to join others for an e-bike group ride? Don't have an e-bike but want to give it a try? You could rent an e-bike or use a lime e-bike! Here is your opportunity! Join us for a social e-bike ride around Kent and Auburn, starting at Cycle Therapy with a stop at one of my favorite places, Zola's for coffee and a snack. This will be a 28 mile ride with 675 feet of elevation at a steady pace (12-14 mph). We will spend a few minutes at the start of the ride educating riders about e-bike use and general rules of the road. Although e-bikes are new and the laws are new, I will share some laws, safety info and resources. This ride has some beautiful trails and roads, some of my favorite places and I hope you will join us!

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE AN E-BIKE TO RIDE WITH US, ALL RIDERS ARE WELCOME AS WE ARE RIDING A STEADY PACE 12-14MPH. WE WELCOME EVERYONE!

There will be parking at the Kent Station Parking Garage and restrooms at Kent Station and plenty of places to stop along the way.

Please register for this ride by clicking on “Register Now” link. Online registration closes two hours prior to ride time, and if you decide to ride after that we will have a waiver sheet for you to sign manually. Registration is not mandatory but it allows us to print the rider list beforehand and helps us save time at the ride start. If you are a new rider, we are very happy to have you with us. Please read the New Rider link below, and keep in mind that a helmet is required on all Cascade rides. Also, riders should be able to sustain the pace, carry nutrition/water, and have the know-how and equipment to fix a flat tire.

Everyone should carry a phone to call for assistance if needed,. We will regroup after climbs and at major intersections. Arrive at least 30 minutes early so that you can get yourself ready, sign the waiver, and listen to the S.M.A.R.T. briefing. This allows us to have an on-time departure.

A route map and cue sheet are at the Ride With GPS link, below. If you want a cue sheet please print and bring it. The ride leader will not have extra copies.

Cancellation Policy: If needed, a weather cancellation will be posted two hours prior in the Comments section, below, and the ride leader will not be at the start. Please check here before leaving for the ride.
