Event Description

Autumn has arrived. The fall morning air is crisp and the leaves are turning shades of gold, amber-orange, and scarlet. It's the last major ride of the Cascade season, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you! We present the 31st annual Kitsap Color Classic, our season finale. Pedal along the gorgeous Kitsap Peninsula and through some of the best riding country in the state! Friendly communities, delicious bakeries, and terrific fall scenery make this a fun, annual must-do event. 

This event is a fundraiser for Cascade Bicycle Club's programming in advocacy, education, and community rides, such as sliding scale bike maintenance and riding classes and the Pedaling Relief Project.

Support During the Ride

This ride is supported by Cascade staff and volunteers, local community group volunteers.

Support and gear (SAG) vehicles are present on the route and dispatched when you call the ride support hotline. SAG vehicles can transport you and most models of bikes in the event of a mechanical or minor medical event. You should always call 911 in a life-threatening emergency.

Outriders are volunteers in white, green, and black jerseys that ride on the route, assisting you with minor mechanical and minor medical issues, like cuts and scrapes, dispensing advice and directions, and helping you to Ride S.M.A.R.T. 

Mechanics Night Owl Cycling are posted at the Kingston start line. Infinity Cyclery is along the route for the longest two options. They can assist with most common mechanical issues. 

Weather

Wear layers and be prepared for rain and wind. You might bring a change of clothes for the end of the ride so that you're not waiting for the ferry in wet clothing.

Get your bike tuned up and in shape to ride in slick, rainy, low-visibility conditions. Bring front and rear lights, install fenders, service your brakes, and clean your chain.

E-Bikes

E-bikes of all classes are permitted on this ride, as the route is entirely along public roads.
