Thank you for taking the time to put this list together. I coordinate the rides for my girlfriends and this is a great help.

Great list Jim, very helpful. A couple I thought of but could not find are The Summit to Surf and Kitsap Color Classic. Thanks again.

A+++++++ What a great grouping of Northwest ride information. Thanks for taking the time to help other riders organize their calendar.

Terrific list. Thanks very much for taking the time to put it together.

Just heard of a ride last night that I do not see on here...the 24th Annual Tulip Pedal, a ride through the Skagit Valley tulip fields in early April. http://www.skagitems.com/tulippedal.htm

Thanks again.

Great list that hopefully will motivate us to do more riding this year! Two queries for people. Is the Bike Expo in Seattle worth coming up from Portland for? And have you considered making your list available as the Excel spreadsheet I assume it is? Would be great. Thanks.

Hello Jim,

You site is great! What a complete listing. There is one listing I didn't see, and quite frankly, uncertain if it truly exists, it's called "the worse day of the year ride". Have you ever heard of this ride in Portland?

Also, do you have a printable version of this site?

Thanks so much for your time and efforts.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the list. I didn't see RAPSody (Ride Around Puget Sound) listed. This event is new and is sponsored by many different bike clubs from the area. I heard all the proceeds to go support Bicycle Alliance. Their website is: http://www.rapsodyride.org and the event is scheduled for August 28 & 29.

Great list. Here is one you might add, called RATPOD (Ride around the Pioneers in one day) in Dillon MT on June 26th. It's 157 miles. Web site is http://ratpod.org/

For your tour list, here is a company based in Sandpoint ID that has some good rides. http://www.allaboutadventures.com/Bicycling1.htm

Cheers

Hi Jim,
I appreciate your bike page giving links to NW cycling events. A couple things:

I didn't look carefully enough to see if you only list road rides or if you include MTB events. One in which I've participated for years is the MS Mountain Bike Challenge. This year on June 5th. Link at http://www.nationalmssociety.org/was/event/event_detail.asp?e=8222

Your link to the 2004 Group Health Commute Challenge is out of date. Current link is

Hi,

I really enjoy your site. It's become one of my cycling resources.

The Tour de Whidbey (Sept 25) is actually a century. They've changed the route this year, and have 25, 50, and 100 mile options - and the century will start and end at the same place, unlike previous years. Current information is on the website, but no maps yet.
