Cascade x Sound Break Ride in the Rain Kickoff: Alki Social Ride (Steady)
... participants registered
Join us at Sound Break Bike House for a collaborative ride and social event with Cascade and Sound Break! We'll gather at 1:00pm with for coffee and chatting, and start the ride at 1:30pm.
Before the ride, we'll gather for a brief chat about the route and some safety reminders. We'll break into groups and ride at several different paces: Social (10-12mph), Steady (12-14mph), Moderate (14-16mph) and Brisk (16-18mph). We'll regroup occasionally to stay together. Restrooms are available at Sound Break, and we'll have one restroom stop about mid-way through the ride.
We have two route options for this ride. Both go to West Seattle and around Alki before returning across the bridge to Pioneer Square.
- Social & Steady: 15 mi & ~500 ft of elevation gain (Route Link)
- Moderate & Brisk: 21 mi & ~900ft of elevation gain (Route Link)
After the ride, we'll return to Sound Break around 3pm for a raffle, some social time and a few words from our advocacy team at Cascade. Light snacks and your first drink are free, with additional food & beverage available for purchase at Sound break.
If the weather is rainy, please bring fenders if you have them! Also bring a flat kit, phone; ID; cash and/or credit card; ORCA card; water and a small snack. The event is on rain or shine, and you're welcome to join to hang out at Sound Break if you'd rather not ride.
We hope you can join us! November 1st just so happens to be the end of daylight savings time and the unofficial beginning of rainy season. Let's kick off Ride in the Rain Month right!
