Sunday, March 20th
Worst Day of the Year Ride – 9:00 am at Lucky Lab Brew Pub (SE)
It is *that* time of the year. Zillions (well, certainly not zillions, but a lot—you understand) of silly-costumed riders parade around the city for what has become a city tradition. Three routes are available for different conveniences and start at different times. Tons of food, drummers, costume contests and an after-party are part of the show, while rumor has it that there is also a 5-story chocolate fountain. Registration is required. More info here. Here’s also our recap of the 2019 edition of the event.
BikeLoud PDX North/NE Chapter: St John’s Ride – 10:45 am at Peninsula Park (N)
For their new and hopefully regular ride, Bike Loud N/NE are teaming up with BikeTown for free ride tickets. The idea for a Sunday mood ride is to depart from Peninsula Park towards St. Johns, with the possibility of a food stop at St. Johns food carts. More info here.
Here Comes the Sun: Beatles Slow Roll – 12:00 pm at Laurelhurst Park (SE)
Slow-paced ride pedaling to the rhythm of the Beatles on the background. Join folks to anticipate the arrival of the spring sun at Laurelhurst this weekend. More info here.
Powder Paint Throwing Spring Equinox Celebration – 12:30 pm at Wilshire Park (NE)
To add more variety to the arrival of spring, there’s also a party bike ride with the aim of making several stops to dance, celebrate and throw powder paint at each other. More info here.

what is Timberwolves BC?
“BC” is often used as acronym for “Bike Club”. Sorry we didn’t make that clear. I’ll make sure staff knows that our style guide is to spell that out in the future ;-).
