About the Challenge

Washington Bikes invites seasoned pedalers, new bike riders, and cyclists from all over our state to bike as much as possible for any reason during November 1-30. The idea of the Ride in the Rain Challenge is to turn a common barrier to biking — inclement weather — on its head and celebrate biking during the rainiest month of the year. We’re confident that if you can ride during the rainiest month and enjoy it, you’ll see how possible it is to bike all year round!

How to Participate

Starting October 1, register for free and log your bike trips November 1-30. You can ride solo or form a team of coworkers, friends or neighbors, and log your trips on the user-friendly Ride in the Rain Challenge website.

Resources

Are you new to biking, or just new to year-round riding? Our friends at Cascade Bicycle Club offers classes and resources on how to get started, or read this handy tipsheet for ways to feel safer biking in any city. Check the Cascade Calendar for ongoing rides, classes, and events. If you’re an experienced rider, sign up to be a captain and recruit new riders to join your team. You could be that person who introduces someone to the simple joys (and practical benefits) of bicycling.
