Rides will meet at 9:15 at Leschi Park, 201 Lakeside Ave S, Seattle 98122, with the rides departing at 9:30 and proceeding at a social, "no drop" pace around the south end of Lake Washington and returning across I-90 to Leschi.
If your team wants to host a ROAD Meet the Team ride outside Seattle, we will be happy to include your information in the ride list on the WSBA website. Please just let us know where and when the ride will meet and the estimated time/distance of the ride.

1. the name and email address of a team contact (which will be published with ride details);
2. a brief statement of your team's goals and who you’re recruiting;
3. the URL of your team website; and
4. if it’s a dirt ride, please supply full details on the location, meeting time, ride duration, etc.
USA Cycling recommends that each team permit its Meet the Team ride as a Non-Competitive Training Ride, which can provide general liability insurance. More information on that permitting process is available from USA Cycling:

If you have questions regarding the permit or process, please contact [email protected].
