Cascade Bicycle Club ride calendar announced; season passes offered

The Cascade Bicycle Club announced its 2015 lineup of event bicycle rides this week.

If you’re interested in registering, the date Tuesday, January 6 is an important one to remember. That’s when online registration opens for most rides.

If you’re not a member, you’ll have to wait a couple of weeks later to sign up for the most popular rides. Be warned that many of these rides — especially the ones known by their acronyms (STP, RSVP, and RAW) — fill up early.

Season pass

New this year is the Cascade Season Pass which includes registration to all Cascade events, a Cascade membership, and a Cascade Bicycle Club jersey.

The season pass will be available beginning 10 a.m. Dec. 9, just in case anyone is considering this as a Christmas gift. It will be sold until Feb. 18.

The pass is valued at $670, but will be available for $595. If low bib numbers are important to you, 2-digit numbers are available for an extra $100. Single digit numbers will be distributed for an additional $300.
