Ride the 200 miles from Seattle to Portland and improve the education of Rwandan Children.
On July 11-12th, we are riding to honor one of Wellspring’s founding members and help improve education for Rwandan children by investing in their schools through the Whole School Development Program.
The 30th annual Group Health Seattle to Portland Bicycle ClassicThe Cyclathon is part of the annual Group Health Seattle to Portland Bike Classic. Last year Team Wellspring entered 25 riders and raised over $48,000 to build a training center and secondary school building.
Team Wellspring has set a goal this year to enter 50 riders and raise over $60,000.
Decked out in a vibrant yellow, blue and green jersey, you will join 9000 others on a two day, 200 mile ride through the valleys, forests, and farmland of western Washington and Oregon. It is an unforgettable experience!
Joining Team Wellspring is as easy as contacting us to let us know you want to ride. We will then direct you to register at the Cascade website to reserve your spot in this year’s ride. For a $95 registration fee to the Cascade Bike Club, you will be provided with food at rest stops, luggage transport, mechanical and medical support, and other logistical support. Online registration is the fastest and cheapest registration method. Register soon to avoid a last minute scramble as the event usually sells out.
Wellspring will provide free snack and energy packs, jerseys for riders and t-shirts for volunteers, logistics for overnight accommodations, a pre-ride party on Friday night in Seattle and a post-ride pool party on Sunday in Portland. We will also work with you on getting the resources you need for training and fundraising.
If each rider can raise $5 a mile or more ($1000) in sponsorships, we will be well on our way to achieving our goal. We will remain in close contact over the next few months to encourage you in your efforts and make necessary arrangements for transport and overnight stays. If you want to volunteer as part of the Pit Crew, please let us know so we can send you a volunteer information packet.
