Women & Non-Binary End of Summer Ride and Social (Leisurely)

Please note, this is a Women and Non-binary ride only. WNB rides are only for individuals that identify as a woman or non-binary, including transgender women and cisgender women. Male identifying riders can support this group best by finding other appropriate rides on the Free Group Rides calendar and leaving this space for WNB riders.  

Join us for the Cascade Women and Non-Binary Program End of Summer Ride and social event! We will start at 10:00 a.m. and most likely be back by 1:00.  After the ride, we will have a picnic lunch available.  We encourage all of you to stay after the ride and share some social time too. 

If you prefer to come to the ride only or just the social event, that would be great, but you must register for the ride if you are intending on riding.

Please be ready to ride at 10:00 a.m. sharp!  We will start with a required safety briefing and roll out when that's done. All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.  

Pace: The ride pace will be about 10-12 mph on the flats. We will climb and descend at our own pace and our goal will be to stay together.  We will re-group at the top of the one hill on the route and take the decent at our own pace.  Most of the ride is on the Sammamish River Trail but we will be on some roads with traffic including Downtown Redmond.  If you are unsure of your pace, bike handling skills, or are a new rider, please contact the ride leader to determine if this ride would be appropriate.  

Start Location:  The start location is in the parking lot next to the Woodinville Sports Fields which is across the street from Wilmot Gateway Park.  There will be other rides starting right in Wilmot Gateway Park. This is NOT where you want to be!  There are restrooms available next to the ballfield.  

Bring water, nutrition, cellphone, a spare tube and tools to fix a flat.

If a rider has a mechanical issue, the group will stop to assist the rider. If there is a major mechanical issue preventing a roadside fix, the Ride Leader will try to ensure the rider has a safe means to return to the start. 

Note: This ride will be canceled if there is rain or dangerous weather conditions that affect the safety of the ride. If the ride is canceled, you will receive an email notification.

We hope you can join us!
