From BikePortland.org, an event that sounds like its right up the TABB's alley:
New Belgium Brewing's Urban Assault Ride
Benefitting: Northwest Trail Alliance
Packet Pick Up:*** (Saturday 5/22 11-2pm)
Plan B Bar: 1305 S.E. 8th Ave
VENUE: (Sunday 5/23 9am)
Pioneer Court House Square 701 SW Sixth Avenue
Price: $45-$60/person - registration required.
What is it? From urbanassaultride.com:
"The Urban Assault Ride is a truly unique cycling event...and quickly becoming one of the biggest in country! Here's how it works: You and your teammate will set out on a city-wide quest for 'checkpoints' on your favorite two-wheeled steeds. At each checkpoint, you'll drop your bikes and complete a funky/adventurous obstacle course, then remount your bikes and hit the streets for more.
The goal is to complete all the checkpoints in the shortest amount of time. You choose your own route and checkpoint order. This means that the most clever are often the victors. Of course, it may also help if you can pull a mean big-wheel powerslide and fly across an inflatable slip-n-slide ;)
After your pedal-powered adventure, your team will cross the finish line and enter a massive celebration of bikes and beer. The after party is just as much fun as the ride itself, thanks to the craziest raffle prize contest you'll ever experience.
Pick a partner and we'll see you there!"

cool, thanks
I have to admit, I kinda skimmed that part. Typo? That does seem steep...
ReplyDeleteThat's what it was last year -- it's accurate. It does come with a bag of schwag, beer, and after party entrance though.
