Cycling club running Wild Apricot with a public events calendar and RSS
feed (`/events/RSS`). First ride is free for non-members, so events are
genuinely public, not member-gated.

Investigated 2026-07-05: sampled the upcoming events (Jul 6 – Aug 21,
2026) and the overwhelming majority are outside Seattle city limits —
Kirkland Hills, North Lake Washington (Kirkland), Snoqualmie Falls, a
Portland-area gravel show, and Disaster Relief Trials (a Cascade
Bicycle Club event, not COGS's own). Only "Ride in Honor of Tom
Schaefer and Arnold Chin" is plausibly Seattle-based, unconfirmed. This
club serves the wider Eastside/Puget Sound region rather than
Seattle proper — fails the "Seattle-focused" quality gate even though
the platform (Wild Apricot RSS) would otherwise be straightforward to
parse. Not recommended.
