1. Ride For the Cookies - Last years popular cookie lovers and family ride is being repeated! This scenic, about 16 mile ride, starts and finishes at North Beach Park at 1:30 on Sunday, August 9th. Last year there was some mild controversy over which home made cookies were the best. The requirement for doing the ride is you must like fun, have a bike helmet to go with your bike or trailer, and like cookies! The race organizers guarantee good weather (something they failed to provide last year). Some of the route is on the road so "riding safely" is expected.
2. Bike Ride Around Puget Sound Aug. 22-23Start this year’s annual Ride Around Puget Sound (RAPSody) by bicycling across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. A challenging route, exceptional food and great organization by five partnering bike clubs make RAPSody special. Enjoy water and mountain views throughout the 170-mile loop route. At the halfway point at Shelton High School, there’s indoor and outdoor camping, a jazz quartet, root beer floats, massage and on-site meals supporting a local youth center. Riders can complete the route in one or two days. Early registration fee of $80 includes souvenir socks, luggage transport, overnight parking, mechanical and ride support, showers and foodstops, including ice cream bars to celebrate the finish on Sunday. This ride supports the Bicycle Alliance of Washington, our statewide advocacy and education organization.
Early registration closes July 22. Registration open through Aug. 17. Save money by signing up early and joining the Bicycle Alliance.
