2008 Event Calendar

There are many, many organized rides coming up in the Pacific Northwest. Several web sites contain calendars of events in specific regions:

• Bike Bis has biking calendars for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho (and California, if anyone cares)
• The Cascade Bicycle Club maintains a calendar of Northwest Bike Rides
• The Cascade Bicycle Club and Cycle University organize the Cascade Training Series, weekly training rides for riders of varying abilities
• The Redmond Cycling Club maintains a calendar of events
  

It looks like "organized ride season" has finished for 2008. I'll eventually create another calendar for next year's organized rides.

Happy Winter riding, everyone!
