8:00 am: Worst Day of the Year Ride
Now in its 10th year, the Worst Day of the Year Ride is one of the biggest organized rides in Portland. Organizers are expecting a sell-out crowd of 4,000 to hit the streets this year. Online registration is closed, but you can still show up to the start line and get in on the fun.

6:00 pm: Drop-in Wrench Night at Citybikes
Drop in and fix your bike at the Citybikes Annex (734 SE Ankeny). It’s free and shop mechanics will be on hand to help you out.
