8th Annual "Meet the Teams" Rides begins Sept 9th!
Finding the right team is crucial to
your training & racing, and every fall Northwest
Women’s Cycling helps match teams with new riders by
organizing the Meet the Teams Rides in the Seattle area.
This year, rides begin on Saturday September 10th and run through November.
(schedule below).
Why join a team?
Joining a team gives you a huge advantage for the upcoming racing season. The off-season training
rides are when teams ride together, learn from and motivate each other, and may
even start developing a strategic approach for the upcoming season. You will
learn a great deal about training and racing by attending team rides and
getting to know your teammates. By March, you should be ready to start racing!
Why join a team now?
The racing season starts as early as February, but the preparation for the season happens from
November through February; that's when teams are riding together, putting in
base miles and completing the training necessary to have race-ready fitness in
February. Also, many teams close their rosters and order their clothing as
early as December.
Who should attend?
Men, women, juniors - riders of all skill levels who are interested in racing. Also, there are
teams with riders as far away as Spokane,Olympia and Portland, so even if you live outside of
Seattle,this is still a great opportunity to shop for your future team.
What to bring
A functioning road bike, helmet, water, some food, weather-appropriate clothing, a couple of $'s and
an extra tube in case you flat.
Ride format
Each week, a different team will lead this 2-hour ride around the south end of
Lake Washington. This is a social ride, at a
conversational pace. The ride may choose to stop for 5-10 minutes along the
way, but otherwise, be prepared for a continuous ride. These rides happen
rain, wind, snow or shine!
The rides leave from Pert's Deli (120 Lakeside Avenue, Seattle, 98122), in the
Leschi neighborhood. There is ample parking nearby. Please be at Pert's by 9:20
for a 9:30AM departure.
