Getting Ready to Ride with Windsor!
I found cycling somewhat intimidating when I first started in 2011.  I lacked confidence.  Through my community I learned about Cycle the WAVE.  It completely opened my eyes to the joys of group riding and I'm thoroughly hooked!  Since then I've gotten involved with Cascade Bicycle Club where I now serve as a ride leader with a focus on helping newer or less experienced riders to build confidence and safe group riding skills.

Are you new to cycling or planning to ride in your first big event, such as Cycle the WAVE or Flying Wheels, and aren't sure if you are "ready"?  Consider joining me and my fellow Cascade ride leaders in the free 
Getting Ready to Ride series training rides. This series started Feb. 8th and runs seven weekends with starting points in Seattle, on the Eastside and the South end.  Pace options will be Leisurely (10-12 mph on the flats) and Steady (12-14 mph on the flats).  This will be a supportive series of rides to have fun, build your cycling confidence, learn to safely ride in traffic and in a group, and of course to meet other cyclists like yourself.  More info here on the GR2R series.
Active Ambassadors At it Again...
Cycle the WAVE's amazing City Ambassadors are already actively planning strategy...gearing up for an exciting 2014 and looking for Lead Ambassadors to help organize a group of ladies in your neck of the woods. Basic job description is being a contact for a group of ambassadors and helping to hand out flyers and posters in your area, as well as ensure delivery to locations that have requested posters (either from you or one of your teammates). Looking forward to really increasing ridership in 2014 and you all are key!
Several ambassadors will be volunteering at upcoming events - Greg's Cycle WOW and Bike Expo.
Interested in becoming an ambassador, email [email protected].
