Ride Farther and Get Faster!
Cycling for a Cure is designed to guide people of all ages and fitness levels through an extensive training program to complete a long-distance bike ride. This program caters to novice riders training to finish their first 100-mile ride, or "century", as well as intermediate riders doing multi-day events.
Our seasoned cycling trainers offer 12-16 week training sessions that include detailed training schedules, weekly group rides, and personalized support to keep you on track.
Enjoy Beautiful Rides around Puget Sound!
As part of your fundraising goal, you'll attend the Chuckanut Century and/or the breathtaking Ride Around Puget Sound (RAPSody). On the day of the event(s), you'll be provided with food at break stops, mechanical assistance, and sweep vehicle support.
We handle the details so all you need to worry about is getting in shape, raising funds for arthritis research, and experiencing the excitement of traveling to a great location.
