Cycle the WAVE
Sunday, September 21, 2008



The Rising Star Guild and Lakemont Ladies Cycling Club have joined forces in an effort to support Eastside Domestic Violence Program (EDVP) through Cycle the WAVE.



Cycle the WAVE, a sponsored, non-competitive, all-women’s bicycle ride through Bellevue, Issaquah, South King County, Maple Valley, Renton and Newcastle was created by women passionate about cycling, who have bonded together through friendship, fitness and the desire to make a difference. That passion has now been merged with the Rising Star Guild and Eastside Domestic Violence Program (EDVP) to raise awareness and shed light on the 96,000 victims that EDVP served last year alone. All sponsorship proceeds benefit EDVP and the women and children they serve in King County who have experienced physical, emotional or sexual abuse.



The visibility and awareness created by this ride is intended to encourage those in need to reach out for help. The ride intentionally weaves through Bellevue and Issaquah as a reminder that in 2007 EDVP served over 2,000 women and children in these communities.



Cycle the WAVE is not a race, it is an un-timed fun-ride and here’s all you need to know to join us in our fight as Women Against Violence Everywhere:

WHO: You and your favorite female cycling buddies – daughters, sisters, mothers or girlfriends

WHAT: Your choice between our 25 mile Girly Girl route or the challenging metric-century (62 mile) Burly Girl route, complete with well-stocked rest stops and a chance for all riders to celebrate at our post-ride celebration

WHY: To bond together as women through fitness with the desire to make a difference in our community, by supporting EDVP’s mission to end violence everywhere, and TO HAVE FUN!

WHEN: Sunday, September 21, 2008

WHERE: Tibbetts Valley Park, Issaquah, WA

HOW: Register now!

Looks like a great ride. Issaquah is beautiful and the course goes near Lake Sammamish. A great autumn ride. And for a great cause too!

Well if the weather is nice I may just have to do it!

I have a charter. &*^%! I guess I'm out.

Darn it. There was a 50% chance that I'd be free on a Sunday in Sept.

[Susan126]

Aahh too bad teigyr! I signed up and paid my entry fee already. I read at their site that there is no day of registration. They expect to fill all 300 slots. I am really looking forward to the ride. And also to the Harvest Century in St. Paul Oregon on October 12th. I just love autumn rides!

[KnottedYet]

oops, guess I'd better get my buns registered!

[salsabike]

Whoa Nellie. I am signing up today.

Done. Girly Girl.

Teigyr, too bad!
