If you’ve never tried it, we encourage you to ride in the wet months. We hardly ever have ice or snow, and it doesn’t rain hard here all that often. This November, it didn’t even rain at all on a lot of days. You don’t need a shower at work if you get one on the way. We’ve got some tips for riding in the rain on our Resources page to get you started.
West Seattle Bike Connections competed in Washington Bike’s Ride in Rain Challenge. Our Peninsula Puddle Pedalers team came in 7th of 400 teams in Washington!
We were right behind the Ice Cold Quad Squad from UW, and ahead of the NOAA AFSC Marine Mammal Laboratory Tour de Flipper team.
In the Club/Organization category, counting all 13 WSBC members who signed up, we were 5th for number of commute rides, and 10th for commute miles, coming in ahead of some big agencies and clubs.
Kathy Dunn was our team Captain, riding every day. John Graham logged 1,208 miles in November on 59 rides! You can sign up to join them and Bill, David, Don, Paul, Tan, Jodi, Al, Tamara, Valerie, Bryan and Joe, if you’d like to log rides through the winter and join the next challenge in May for Bike Month.
