\"PROS<\/a><\/p>\n

Is PROS on your bucket list of bike rides? It should be.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Perimeter Ride of Seattle\u2014or PROS\u2014is a Labor Day (September 7) ride organized by the\u00a0Cyclists of Greater Seattle<\/a>\u00a0(COGS) that literally follows the perimeter of Seattle. PROS circumscribes the city, following a counter-clockwise route from its start at Discovery Park. Seattle\u2019s hilly and ravine-divided landscape makes for a challenging but very rewarding ride. You will see Seattle from all sides, including spectacular city, mountain, Puget Sound and Lake Washington views.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Labor<\/a><\/dt>\n
Labor Day – September 7 2015<\/strong><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

The full PROS route entails 80 miles and 4,200 feet of elevation gain. PROS Lite is a shorter option of 60 miles and 2,700 feet of elevation gain, which eliminates the challenges of Seattle\u2019s northern border. Both routes include snack stops (2 for PROS and 1 for PROS Lite) and lunch featuring tasty Banh Mi, Vietnamese-style sandwiches.<\/p>\n

Unlike other rides that hand you a map\/cue sheet and send you on your way, PROS divides riders into groups based on their distance and riding pace, and provides ride leaders who pedal with you. And yes, you still get a cue sheet or you can use GPS. Learn more\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ready to sign up?<\/strong><\/a> Registration is $35 ($40 after August 31), includes lunch, and supports bicycle advocacy in Washington state. COGS donates all proceeds from PROS to Washington Bikes to further our work to get more folks on bikes.<\/p>\n

You can register online<\/strong><\/a>. Sign up by August 31 and you will be eligible for prize drawings for a\u00a0WA Bikes jersey<\/a>\u00a0made by Castelli and a\u00a0custom bike sketch<\/a>\u00a0by Seattle artist Andy Goulding.<\/p>\n
