Cascade Training Series

This weekly multi-paced training series is designed to prepare you for STP and RSVP. The series starts in April with a 25-mile loop and continues every weekend through STP, with a series of four "maintaining" rides between STP and RSVP. Register for CTS when you register for STP or RSVP. During the progression of increasingly challenging rides, you will build endurance, confidence and knowledge in the areas of basic bike maintenance, group riding skills, nutrition and riding techniques, PLUS you will get a stylish Road ID® with your emergency contact information. Limited registration slots will be available, so register early. More information....
