Ride Contact
Event has already happened.
Answer the call to ride and join the Seattle Cycle Sirens (SCS) for our FREE Clinic-and-a-ride event! This is part of the SCS's effort to host women-friendly training rides this summer to help riders prepare for group ride events like Cycle the WAVE (Women Against Violence Everywhere), Bike-n-Brews El Norte, Kitsap Color Classic and more.
The clinic/talk will start at 9:00 a.m. at the parking lot of Wilmot Gateway Park in Woodinville (best parking is in the sports field lot across the street from the pavillion and we'll initially all meet there). We will spend about 45 minutes covering topics like pre-ride bike checks, road riding basics, bicycle maintenance, and group riding etiquette. After that, we will go for a ride! This is the Woodinville/Rose Hill ride and this week's ride will take us on some roads that are now familiar to us as well as a challenging new incline. This route will be 21.5 miles at a STEADY pace on familiar flat terrain (with a challennging new incline in the middle of the route to develop our skills and confidence).
The Ride Leader(s) for this route will be leading a STEADY paced ride (12-14 mph on the flats with no headwinds or tailwinds). Those who wish to ride at a faster pace are welcome to do so, but it will then become a self-paced ride for them. Slower riders are also welcome to take the route at their own pace as this is a NO-DROP ride and we will regroup as needed along the way.
The clinic/talk will begin at 9 a.m. and the ride will begin at 9:45 a.m., so please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to ready your bike, sign the waiver and participate in the SMART safety briefing. (This week's topic will be about using your gears more efficiently to help you better climb those inclines!)
Riders are expected to have the following with them: a properly fitted helmet, water, a spare tube, a pump and other tools to change a flat tire.
Printed cue sheets will be available at the start.
