2009 Event Calendar

The schedule for the 2009 organized ride season is slowly beginning to materialize. There are dozens of organized rides in the Pacific Northwest, plus a few "interesting" rides from other areas. I'll update this page as upcoming dates are set.

Several web sites contain calendars of events in specific regions, including:

• 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 various abilities
• The Redmond Cycling Club maintains a calendar of events
• Bicycle Paper maintains yet another calendar of events
