This ride is for cyclists interested in joining Cascade’s High Performance Cycling (HPC) Team. A description of the team can be found on the CBC HPC Team webpage (http://www.cascade.org/EandR/Ride_HPC.cfm), or at www.cycleu.com. After a discussion about the team we’ll go for a ride. The route will depend on weather and turnout. If it's nice, we'll ride across or around Mercer Island and around the south end of Lake Washington at <18 mph on the flats. Distance will be about 22 – 30 miles. If there is interest some team members may be available to meet for a post-ride coffee.
