Riding Skagit Valley since 1989

About our club

The Skagit Bicycle Club is a not-for-profit cycling club based in Skagit County, Washington, about 70 miles north of Seattle and 30 miles south of the Canadian border. We ride all year, weather permitting, with rides for every skill level.

Our story

Local cycling enthusiasts started the club in November 1989. It has grown ever since, and today we offer group rides all year round.

Non-members are welcome on one test ride; let the ride leader know who you are at the start. After that, membership is required to keep riding (for liability reasons). Join the club

Ride with our partner clubs

Through the North Puget Sound Bike Alliance (NPSBA), we partner with cycling clubs across the region to offer more riding opportunities and discounts on their signature rides.

Our biggest annual event

The Skagit Spring Classic

Every spring we host the premier one-day ride in the North Puget Sound region, with beautiful scenery, quiet roads and great food. Each year 400 to 600 riders of all levels choose from four routes, with volunteer-run food and water stops, support vehicles, route maps and a well-earned spaghetti dinner at the finish.

The ride raises funds for the club and the local bike-related groups we support.
