DRT Contest

The Greatest Cargo Load Ever!!

One winner receives free DRT entry and DRT/Tern prize pack!

Heard about the Disaster Relief Trials but haven’t signed up yet? Want a free entry and some really cool prizes? Keep reading…

With the DRT just a few weeks away (June 11th), now is the time to firm up your plans and make sure you are a part of this amazing event.

DRT is about two big things: Gaining confidence and skills to respond when a disaster strikes and showing the vast potential of bicycles as emergency response vehicles.

If you’re a regular BikePortland reader, this concept is nothing new to you. We’ve been on this story since 2011 and have covered the rising realization that bikes have great disaster relief capabilities ever since.

This year’s DRT will be at Cully Park (NE Killingsworth/Hwy 30 and 72nd) and will also include a resiliency fair. If you want to be a part of the action and need a nudge to participate, we’re excited to share that we’ve teamed up with the organizers and their sponsor Tern Bicycles for a free entry and prize package.

All you have to do is share your Greatest Cargo Load Ever (a.k.a. #carryshitolympics)!!

To enter, just fill out this short form (via Google) and upload an image or two by May 27th. That’s it!

One winner will receive: Free entry ($30 otherwise), and a prize pack that includes four new-old-stock DRT stainless steel pint cups (below), DRT-branded one-inch spring clamp (for your manifest), and a smattering of Tern merch.

Epic matchup.

I’m thinking loads of lumber, or composting toilets from the airport.

There should almost be some categories here, since obviously Bill’s trike is a whole other level.

I’m going to be there to do video, so I guess that I don’t really need to enter this competition, but we did carry quite a lot that day
