Valley River Ride set for April 2; registration to open

The Cascade Bicycle Club kicks off the spring season with a new event, the Valley River Ride, set for April 2.

The ride follows the Cedar and Green rivers, with flowing fields and small town charm along the way. Featuring low-traveled roads, protected trails and a few miles of hard-packed gravel, the ride boasts a low-elevation, nature-inspired route great for those just venturing into longer distance rides. Choose from an easy going 30-mile route, try the 50-mile route with a few challenging hills, or knock out your first 62-mile metric century of the year.

Registration is open to club members at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31, and to the public at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7.

Member registration is open for most Cascade riding events
