Treat yourselves to a holiday gift of more bicycling in the new year. Our 2024 Season Schedule is live, and it's time to put some rides on your calendar.
Registration for the 45th Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic opens on Jan. 9 for Cascade members and Feb. 6 for non-members. STP is a genuine ride of the people -- a great place to meet your new best friend and ride with 6,000 members of a rolling party.
Nothing compares to the smiles and satisfaction of crossing the finish line with the STP community in Portland.
The Ride from Seattle to Vancouver and Party will take place on Aug. 24-25. Member registration for RSVP opens on March 5, and for the general public on April 2.
Winter and Spring Events and Rides
Looking for a new bike or gear? Join us on Feb. 3 for the Seattle Bike Swap and E-Bike Expo.
On Feb. 25 we take the ferry to beautiful Bainbridge Island for Chilly Hilly, where the views of Seattle and the Puget Sound are thrilling.
Major Taylor, Bike N Brews, and Walla Walla
April and May bring milder weather and lots more riding opportunities. The Ride for Major Taylor is a fundraiser for Cascade's Major Taylor Project, which builds leadership skills and teaches the joys of bicycling to youth from diverse backgrounds. The Ride for Major Taylor includes a long and short route on April 21. Registration for members opens on Feb. 6.
May 5 brings Seattle Bike N Brews, a chance to pedal a family-friendly route on the scenic Green River Trail and sample some Seattle brews (or non-alcoholic drinks of your choice).
May 17 marks the beginning of our three-day Tours season. Previously called Tour Lites, we are offering four of these three-day adventures in 2024, starting with our Walla Walla Tour. The golden wheat fields and verdant vineyards of Walla Walla make this event a favorite of Executive Director Lee Lambert.
Summer Fun and Big Rides
June, July, and August bring many opportunities for big rides and scenic adventures in some of Washington state's most scenic landscapes.
One June 1, we take to the foothills, farmlands, and bridges of Western Washington during the Flying Wheels Summer Century, which offers three routes of different lengths. We've heard your feedback and are working to avoid the North Bend area with its traffic this year.
Our tours are loved by women and small groups for their exceptional opportunities to explore some of Washington's most beautiful landscapes over a long weekend.
Father's Day Weekend, June 14-16, brings our second annual Winthrop Gravel Tour. This is the second of four Tours we are holding in 2024--all of them beginning on Friday and ending on Sunday. Each day brings a new route, with long and short options created to show off the scenery, culture, and history of each location.
After resting your legs following STP on July 13-14, it's time to head for the Pacific coast for our Port Townsend Tour.
August brings the gorgeous double century ride known as RSVP on August 24-25, followed in early September by the Woodinville Wine Ride. This is a fantastic social ride, mostly on bike trails, with two sample tastings in Woodinville's Wine District, and a full pour at the finish line party.
Blue Waters and Fall Colors
Lake Chelan is a scenic wonder. Treat yourself to three days of riding, socializing, and wine tasting on the Lake Chelan Tour, Sept. 27-29.
Our final big ride of 2024 is an autumn tradition for many Cascade riders--the Kitsap Color Classic--on Oct. 6. Treat yourself to some beautiful views of the Kitsap Peninsula, and feast on famous Sluy's donuts.
Click on the ride links and look for the "Add to Calendar" function to ensure you don't miss any important registration dates. And remember: everyone who joins a Cascade paid ride is supporting our Mission of spreading the joy of bicycling through advocacy, education, and community gatherings.
