The purpose of these rides is to allow riders at all levels and abilities to get to know local Northwest road teams seeking new members.  

For the Seattle cycling community, Meet the Team Rides begin on September 24th and will take place on Saturdays and Sundays  through November 20th. 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 Meet the Team ROAD ride outside Seattle, we will be happy to include your information in the ride list on the WSBA website.  Please just let me know where and when the ride will meet and the estimated time/distance of the ride.

If your team is not already listed on the WSBA Teams in the Region page, please fill out and submit this form and we’ll add you to the page so that prospective riders can read about your team.
 
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:  https://usacycling.org/event-organizer/benefits-of-permitting/permit-process
