THE PERFECT DAY FOR A RIDE!

The Worst Day of the Year Ride is an 18-mile odyssey around downtown Portland that has quickly become a quirky annual tradition.


We'll keep you warm and comfy at every turn with tons of belly-nourishing treats including hot cocoa, doughnuts, fruit, spicy chai tea, veggie chili, chicken noodle soup, cornbread, bagels, hot cider and much more.


Join hundreds of other hardy souls as we laugh at the elements and gather for a delicious finish line party at the Lucky Labrador.

The ride is capped at 2,000 riders. Register early so you don't miss out on this ever-popular ride!

The Worst Day of the Year Ride is a benefit for the Community Cycling Center.
