The weekly ride
The Ride
One night a week to start — a brisk Thursday loop, then one good beer. Show up on time, ride within your limits, stay for the table.

The Kermesse
A brisk evening lap around Lake Sammamish — Bellevue, Factoria, Issaquah, then up the east side through Redmond — and back to Chainline for one good beer. Hard loop, one beer, home by dark.
Winter variant: a shorter ~20-mile version, lights mandatory.

The Saturday Long One
A ~50-mile Saturday ride with a mandatory mid-ride espresso stop is on the roadmap as the club grows. We’re starting with one solid night a week and adding the long ride when the table’s big enough to fill a paceline.
This is not a no-drop ride. We regroup at the summits as a habit, not a promise. If the pace is clearly beyond you on the day, the group rides on — you get a sympathetic wave and a text to make sure you got home. Come fit and self-sufficient. See the ride charter and waiver.
