February 9 is historically the wettest, coldest, most miserably day of the year here in Portland. The folks over at ORBike think that’s no excuse to stay in and mope–get out and ride your bike! This Valentine’s Day, instead of going googly-eyed over chocolate, join hundreds of other Portlanders in an 18-mile loop around our rainy city. Pit stops include yummies like hot chocolate, cider, fresh bread, fruit, doughnuts, chai tea, bagels, and more!

The finish line lands at Lucky Labrador bar, with warm soups from Laughing Planet Cafe. What’s a little rainy weather when you’ve got 3,500 of your fellow Portland friends, costumed head to toe, sipping chai tea, and pedaling down the street with you?
Proceeds benefit the Community Cycling Center, and biking benefits your soul. Get out there and win that costume contest!
