It's Been Confirmed!
Bellevue College will be the new venue for the 7th Annual Cycle the WAVE event on September 14th. We are excited about this location - it gives us room to grow, offers new route opportunities, plenty of parking and the ability to increase awareness of domestic violence in the community. We are anticipating a beautiful relationship with Peggy Strader, Events Coordinator, and Bellevue College! Peggy, pictured right cheering on our 2012 cyclists, is "looking forward to hosting Cycle the WAVE in 2014".

New Website Unveiled
We have consolidated our websites into one: The WAVE Foundation! After a few hiccups and hurdles the new look is live and running. You will find info about TWF - our events (which includes CtW), grant info, etc. Cycle the WAVE has its own tab on the menu bar with pertinent information for our upcoming ride with buttons to link you quickly to register, volunteer and fundraise. The Boutique includes pictures of jersey and arm warmers although is currently "under construction".
Facebook allows us to interact with our followers in real time and has allowed us to give you the most up to date information regarding the website and registering for CtW, along with lots of cycling tips, and domestic violence awareness info. Please "Like" us!

Active Ambassadors At it Again... 
City Ambassadors are busy promoting CtW! You may have talked with them at Gregg's Cycle Women on Wheels or at Cascade Bicycle Club's Bike Expo. Many of you stopped by our booth to thank us for our work, and express interest in the grant program. One of our premier Outreach Ambassadors, Windsor, gave a well-received talk at Bike Expo on gaining confidence while riding. We were also at Bellevue College for Domestic Violence Awareness Week and met many staff and students! We are modeling our new jerseys at events and while riding!
