Welcome to the Caffè Appassionato Cycling Team Website. Caffe Appassionato Cycling was born because we wanted to bring the camaraderie and brio of collegiate cycling to USCF racing. Established in 2007 by past and present University of Washington riders, CAC has expanded to include others looking for both a hospitable and competitive team.
Caffe Appassionato Cycling is proud to be primarily supported by local Seattle businesses invested in encouraging cycling in our city. In turn, our mission is to support each of our racers as much as possible. From a practical perspective, CAC exists to mitigate as many barriers as it can so that our members can just focus on riding.
Caffe Appassionato Cycling is a joint project of its members. We welcome new members wanting to help us strengthen our team both through comradeship and speed.

Caffè Appassionato is the Pacific Northwest’s premier roasting company for the world’s finest gourmet coffee products. They offer benchmark coffee roasts and blends which are produced, packaged, labeled, and served to reflect the superior image and quality of the products. Their success originated in the Pacific Northwest, but the goal for Caffè Appassionato is to be recognized worldwide for its products, image, and integrity.
John Duggan of Seattle is an avid cyclist and attorney who represents injured cyclists. He is a member of the Bicycle Alliance of Washington, the Cascade Bicycle Club and the Washington State Trial Lawyers Association.
Schuyler Rubber Co., Inc. has designed, tested and manufactured laminated rubber fenders since 1950. Laminated rubber’s proven track record of economy, protection, durability, and reliability make it the preferred choice over virgin extruded and molded rubber for marine vessels and structures.
Second Ascent is the Northwest’s premier outdoor multisport store. Located in Ballard, Second Ascent caters to cyclists, mountaineers, campers, climbers, skiers, runners, and hikers by offering a top of the line gear and providing exceptional customer service. If you need anything for your outdoor adventures, make sure to visit Second Ascent.
Never be limited by your gear. If you can imagine an adventure—motorcycle touring through North Africa, paddling the turbulent Bering Sea, or bike commuting in the predawn rain—SealLine has the gear to help you pull it off. For over 20 years, we’ve been the leader in portable dry storage, pioneering a complete line of bags, packs, cases, and accessories.
Williams Kastner has been serving clients in the Northwest since the Seattle office opened in 1929. With 90 attorneys in three offices located throughout Washington and Oregon, they combine the resources and knowledge gained from working on matters of national and international importance with the personal service only a local firm can provide.
Samurai noodle is one of the best ramen restaurants in Seattle! There are many different broths to choose from and in addition, you get to choose how well you’d like your noodles cooked: soft, medium or firm.
We would also like to thank our private donors. Without your support, none of this would be possible. Thank you.
