March 19, 2023
In 2022, we faced a lot of rain, a lot of wind, and a lot of struggle on the ride to Portland. So much, that for safety purposes we had to cut the final day short.
That’s not inclusive. A 321-mile bike ride is not inclusive.
After speaking with members of the community we were helping, we realized that we needed something more aligned with our inclusion message. And that is what we are doing in 2023.
Saturday March 18th, 6:00pm
“Toast to Inclusion” at Bellingham Cider Company
The team at Bellingham Cider has been supporting us for a few years, and we love being able to kick off the ride at their restaurant the night before. Not only do they have some wonderful in-house ciders and a great local selection of craft beers, they have a solid non-alcoholic list and their food is amazing. So come join us as we toast inclusion the night before the ride.
Can’t get to Bellingham? Join us in a virtual toast at 7:00pm Pacific time.

The 4th Annual 321 for 3.21 Bike Ride
For the first time, we will only be riding from Bellingham to Seattle! While it’s not 321 miles, our goal is that the route will give us 123 - because numbers matter. And one day becomes much more inclusive over time.
Want to ride along from the warmth of your own home? You can download the route below, and hop on your trainer.
Finish Line and R.I.D.E. 4 All Launch Party at Seward Park in Seattle (Shelter 3) - Starts at 3PM
Come join us on the last bit of the ride, as we come down Lake Washington Blvd! Bring something with wheels, and finish the ride - at whatever distance you can do! We will have snacks and some pretty sweet swag. Find more info at the event over on Facebook.
