Meet the Team Rides for all the dirt teams are back for 2021! We'll schedule one ride per weekend day starting July 31. You pick the time, place, and route for your team's ride. Dates are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The schedule will be posted below as rides are added.
If your team is interested in hosting a dirt Meet the Team ride this year, please sned your preferred date and one or two alternates (be sure to mention DIRT in your message to minimize potential confusion). To secure a date, you’ll need to provide:
1. the name and email address of a team contact
2. ride location, meeting time, ride duration, etc.
3. a brief statement of your team's goals and who you’re recruiting;
4. the URL of your team website.
The goal is to provide an opportunity for new and experienced racers looking for a team to get to know the teams in this discipline BEFORE the season starts. As with the road version, these Meet the Team Rides should be social with lots of chance for interaction and getting acquainted. How the individual rides are structured, scheduled, and located is up to the host team.
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.
Please plan your Meet the Team Ride to comply with current public health guidelines in Seattle/King County. Those currently require persons not fully vaccinated to wear a well-fitted mask in all crowded outdoor settings (like the start of the ride, the stop at Coulon Park, and the end of the ride) and to wear masks and stay 6 feet apart if gathering with others not yet vaccinated. Check for updates to the guidelines before your ride and be sure to accommodate those who might not want to gather in a large group or without a mask.
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
