Start your Summer Planning
February 19, 2008
Summer events are already rolling in to our calendar! I'm excited to see a lot of the favorites returning - and lots of new events too. No, we're not in the clear from the rain just yet, but that doesn't mean you can't start planning your summer fun now! There is no shortage of rides in Oregon and there will be days when you have to decide which event to do. In fact, if you are ambitious you can head out to something every weekend this summer.
Check out this cool event, the Urban Assault Ride on May 25, from New Belgium Brewing:
The Urban Assault Ride is funky bike scavenger hunt that involves street smart riding, obstacle courses, and a huge after party. Mental muscle is just as important as bike skills as teams of two choose their own course to checkpoints around the city.
The event is well known for its checkpoint obstacle courses where physical and mental obstacle courses must be completed before moving on. Kinda like American Gladiators with a demented cycling twist. Some checkpoints are listed prior to the event, others must be found during the event.
Participants can be 7 - 100 years - anybody can do it. Teams will ride a total distance of 20-25 miles (depending on the city). The first team to hit all of the checkpoint and cross the finish line wins! Then the party begins with free New Belgium beer and lots more two-wheeled shenanigans!
