On the worst weather day of the year, where will be you? Tucked inside with a blanket and a book? We don't think so...
The 8th annual Worst Day of the Year Ride presented by SKS Germany—to be held in Portland, OR on February 15th, 2009—features an 18-mile urban tour and 40-mile challenge route in one of the world’s top cycling cities. The 3,000 participants will enjoy five stops along the route—with warm drinks, snacks, soup and brew. This urban ride, which is a benefit for the Community Cycling Center, has become an annual Portland tradition and cyclists participate rain or shine. The ride’s title comes from the fact that February 15th is the date of Oregon’s worst weather ever recorded (in 1933).
The ride includes a costume contest with prizes, including X-Tra Dry fenders from SKS. The ride is capped at 3,000 riders. Interested riders should register early to assure their spot.
