RAPSody Bike Ride – 2010

RAPSody Bike Ride 2010 is approaching faster than you think! Registration is open and easy to do online!

RAPSody was organized in 2004 by the five sister bicycling clubs located in the Pacific Northwest.  The five clubs saw a chance to organize a ride where all proceeds would benefit the Bicycle Alliance of Washington (BAW).  In doing so, they created a 170 mile spectacular scenic bike ride that would begin and end in Tacoma, WA and navigate bicyclists through some of the most stunning scenery of the Puget Sound area. This ride includes views of Mount Rainier, Olympics, Puget Sound and the Tacoma Narrow’s Bridge. It embraces a laid back feeling as it winds its’ way through small towns and provides riders with beautiful views, quiet parks, music fanfare and succulent foods during the rest stops! Riders are usually seen kicking back taking in the fun of socializing and enjoying the scenery whether it be during the ride, at the rest stops or at the overnight stop in Shelton.

This ride can be done either in one-day or two-days but by far most riders do it in two days (because it’s more fun!). Dinner and Breakfast are catered by a local non-profit organization. Riders have fun camping overnight, getting massages, slurping down rootbeer floats and conversing with other riders. We have riders come from all over the US and Canada to join us in this majestic ride.

To learn more about this ride, please check out the RAPSody Bike Ride site; follow us on Twitter or join our Facebook Group. Check-out the Frequently Asked Questions section and previous year’s photos.

Please feel free to email me directly with any questions or concerns and I’ll be happy to help you! I am proud to say I am one of the original founders of this ride and have enjoyed participating in the support of and building long lasting friendships through this ride. We know you’ll enjoy this ride like no other and look forward to seeing you in 2010!
