Clipless in Olympia

A very nice turnout of about 14 riders for the Jan. 28 Beginner Friendly Gravel Ride around the Kennedy Creek Loop above Summit Lake. For once the weather forecast was wrong, but oh, so right -- no rain! Many thanks to Bill and Courtney Cundiff for organizing a great meetup ride. Here's a one-minute video of folks having a great time on gravel (plus few random photos).

Updated 6/5/23 Every January I put together an unofficial list of road cycling events from around the Pacific Northwest (mostly in our home state of Washington). It's culled from a variety of sources, including our own experiences, suggestions from friends and the huge but frequently outdated list at BikingBis.com .  The list does not include races, fondos, MTB/gravel events or rides organized by bike tour companies. Events that have not set a date for 2023 are listed with a mm/??/yy. I'll update the list as new information becomes available.

What a fantastic turnout for the WHT Fans January Group ride -- 36-plus cyclists! Perfect weather, a great course and a delicious refreshment stop with the fabulous folks at Jones Creek Brewing. Many thanks to Chris Brewer for organizing and leading the ride. Check out the photos !
