Worst Day Of The Year Ride

Join 3,500 other riders for the Worst Day of the Year Ride, 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, soups, fresh foccacia bread, 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 3,500 riders. Register early so you don’t miss out on this annual tradition!

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

We release riders in waves, meaning a few riders at a time. You like sleeping in? No problem. You can show up late and you’ll get out on course smoothly without much waiting.
