Registrations are ramping up for the first women\u2019s cycling event in the nation to provide a luxury 5th Avenue<\/em> memento rewarding each and every participant\u2019s personal best.<\/p>\n

And you can still get in.\u00a0 The deadline for the The Women\u2019s Living the Dream Ride<\/a> is extended only 3 more days, till April 18th<\/sup> for the ride touted as \u201cWashington States Most Beautiful Ride for Women\u201d for a few reasons.\u00a0 Number one: the finish line prize is a girls best friend.\u00a0 And secondly, the awesomely beautiful, flat course.\u00a0 It debuts May 11th<\/sup>, \u00a0Saturday before Mother\u2019s Day and aims to celebrate all the things ladies love.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe already have groups of women and families coming from Canada to participate. \u00a0We have riders coming in from Portland, Oregon and eastern Washington too.\u201d Says Tina Kuna, the Event Director and co-founder of the non-profit, Living the Dream Foundation and\u00a0Dream Dinners<\/a> meal assembly, the title sponsor.<\/p>\n

This recreational ride offers cyclists lots of safety and support on low traffic roads with four distances to choose from; the 18,24,36 mile routes or a metric century, (62 miles).\u00a0 \u201cWe planned super flat, beautiful courses along the river and over romantic bridges. \u00a0Our goal is to support riders no matter what level of cycling you are at.\u00a0 We have a number of ladies training on the long route for the STP, Seattle to Portland ride in July.\u201d Kuna said.\u00a0 Organizers are hoping this becomes the <\/em>place to be to celebrate Mother\u2019s Day Weekend in years to come.<\/p>\n

The ride is a \u201cgirl-friendly<\/em>\u201d event in other ways. Shopping.\u00a0 And lots of it.\u00a0 Festivities kick off on Friday night 4-7:30pm with a sunset Wine. Sip. Shop.<\/a>\u201d pre-party thru historic bakeries and antique shops. Pre-party Tickets are just $10 dollars and anyone can join the Friday fun. The public is welcome.\u00a0 Women\u2019s Living the Dream Ride registration is $150.00 and includes a special lunch too. But hurry to get in.\u00a0 There\u2019s no event day registration and the deadline is coming up at midnight April 18th.<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

A portion of proceeds benefit two charity partners, Snohomish Community Kitchen to help in the fight against hunger and Washington Bikes. For information go to: www.livingthedreamride.org<\/a> or \u00a0this Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
