Ride in the Rain
Don't let inclement weather prevent you from experiencing the joy of biking. Join Cascade for a series of special events through the month of November to keep you motivated and having fun!
The shorter days and inclement weather don't have to put a damper on your biking adventures. Ride in the Rain offers a series of community events geared to add brightness and camaraderie throughout the month of November.
Below is an overview of what we have planned this year. Stay safe and have fun, no matter the weather!
War on Cars Author Talk and Book Signing
Kick off Ride in the Rain with the hosts of the popular podcast, The War on Cars. Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon will be at Cascade HQ on Thursday, Nov. 6 from 7 to 8 p.m., to read from their new book, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile and answer audience questions.
Doors open at 6 p.m. Elliot Bay Books will be selling copies of the book, with a book signing after the presentation.
Bike Lane Cleanup
Help to make biking around Seattle safer this fall by clearing leaves from the bike lanes. We'll meet at Cowen Park on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. and sweep NE Ravenna Way from Cowen Place NE to Green Lake Way NE.
Our friends at SDOT will provide snacks in the morning, and lunch will be on us after the cleanup. Keep lanes clean for Cranksgiving riders to deliver food to food banks!
Free Group Rides
Rain doesn't deter our fearless Free Group Ride Leaders! Free Group Rides continue throughout the month of November and all year long. Keep an eye out for special Ride in the Rain-themed events, like the return of the hot cocoa post-ride social hour at Cascade HQ.
Cranksgiving
Each year, teams of people participate in the Seattle Bike Blog's food drive/scavenger hunt on bicycle, which Cascade helps support. Complete challenges, buy grocery items, and deliver them to our partner food banks! Celebrate your success at an afterparty at Central Cinema.
