CTZ in Seattle: Kick-off Bike Ride (15 miles)
We’re excited to start the 2027 AIDS rides season with a fun, short (15 mi) bike ride starting from Seattle Center!
Whether you’ve joined an AIDS ride before or this is your first time, whether you’re already registered for a 2027 event or just thinking about it, or even if you’re planning to cheer from the sidelines, come ride with Outspoken Cycle Club, Positive Pedalers, and Cycle to Zero to kick off the season with us!
New to cycling? This is the perfect opportunity to get your feet wet. The ride is beginner-friendly, all-paces welcome, and open to everyone. You’ll get to experience how much fun and safe group riding can be!
