We're teaming up with Parlee for a ride to North Bend and brunch at South Fork.
Parlee has been building high-performance carbon bikes since 2000 around a simple philosophy: comfort becomes performance. Their approach combines highly refined carbon layups, rider-focused geometry, and personalized fit to build bikes that are fast and efficient without sacrificing ride quality.
It's a small, rider-driven brand with more than 25 years of experience pushing what's possible with carbon fiber.
Come by Element before the ride for snacks and refreshments and to check out the Parlee bike lineup on display in the shop.
Ben from Parlee will be here to hang out, answer questions about the bikes, and tell more of the brand's story.
We'll roll out at 9:00 AM for roughly 30 miles to North Bend, where we'll stop at South Fork for brunch and beers. Parlee is picking up the beers, with riders ordering their own food.
After brunch, we'll get back on the bikes for another roughly 30 miles back to Element. Think of it as two great 30-mile rides with brunch in the middle.
This will be a social endurance ride with climbs at your own pace and regroups along the way.
Saturday, September 26
Doors open: 8:00 AM
Rollout: 9:00 AM
Brunch: South Fork, North Bend Limited to 40 riders
Come early, grab some snacks, check out the bikes, and meet Ben before we roll.
