Portland Worst Day Of The Year Ride
February 12, 2012
More Info & Registration Discount: worstdayride.com
The 11th Annual Worst Day of the Year Ride on February 12 has quickly become Portland's favorite wacky wintertime tradition. The rousing beats of the Last Regiment Drum Corps will send you off on an 18-mile odyssey around downtown Portland. You'll be kept warm and comfy at every turn with belly-nourishing treats including hot cocoa, doughnuts, organic fruit, chai tea, coffee, bagels, hot cider and much more.
Laughing Planet Cafe, experts in wholesome yumminess, is cooking up a finish line meal featuring local, sustainable and organic soups served with fresh focaccia bread.
Join thousands of other bundled-up riders as you laugh at the elements and circle the city on bicycles. Want more of a challenge? The optional 45-mile route loop traverses the west hills out to Hillsboro. The ride is limited to 4,000 riders and it will sell out, so register early to ensure a spot on the hilarious ride. The event starts and finishes at the Lucky Labrador at 915 SE Hawthorne and is a benefit for the Community Cycling Center.
You can save $20 by registering in advance and using a store coupon. See our website for a list of those locations. Even if you don’t use a coupon, advance registration is the way to go – and it closes at midnight on Thursday, February 9 so don’t delay and register today. More Info: worstdayride.com

Please, please, please pick us! My hubby and I have just moved to Portland (less than 1 week ago!) and would love to participate! Unfortunately we are unemployed and can’t afford it. These two tickets would be the best welcome present to Portland. Ever!!
THANK YOU!
February 7, 2012 at 12:47
I can’t believe that I am the first one to post ! Please pick me, I have not gone on a group ride in Portland since I have moved here…and THIS one is THE one to go on!
February 7, 2012 at 12:49
What happens if it turns out to be another gorgeous February weekend? Won’t matter if I win free tix! Plus, more dough to spend at Lucky Lab. Everyone wins!
February 7, 2012 at 12:50
Because I’m fat and lazy and need whatever motivation I can get to get off my A$$ and ride (and saving some $$ is good motivation)
February 7, 2012 at 13:02
This. Looks. Amazing. Not sure how I missed this last year (my first year in Portland) but I’m totally getting my neighbors and husband involved this time around. Plus it looks like perfect fodder for my little Portland adventures blog. :)
February 7, 2012 at 14:06
This’ll give me a reason to buy one of those furever lazy’s and wear it in style!
February 7, 2012 at 14:09
Fingers crossed !
February 7, 2012 at 14:35
Winning two tickets is the only way I’d find the motivation to bike ride on Sunday (forecast = not good)… and I could be convinced to ride in my gorilla outfit….
This is a great ride, VERY well supported and kicks off the season of getting your butt back out on the bike!!
February 7, 2012 at 14:51
it’s my birthday
February 7, 2012 at 15:58
if i’m picked, i’ll actually be able to afford to have my whole family go on the ride!
February 7, 2012 at 17:26
Woohoo sounds like fun!
February 7, 2012 at 18:22
So many reasons….a) I need a great reason to learn to suck it up and ride in the rain, b) I need a great excuse not to volunteer to work, c) I need a great date idea!
February 7, 2012 at 20:19
i’ve done the naked bike ride and could use another portlandesque bike ride under my belt. like any good immigrant, i’m trying to melt into this portland pot best i can.
February 8, 2012 at 17:29
Perfect time for a bike ride…I bet it will be beautiful outside.
February 9, 2012 at 00:41
My best friend and I would love to participate! And could use the excercise haha.
February 9, 2012 at 15:38
I wanna ride!
February 9, 2012 at 17:27
I’d love to ride the Worst Day Ride!
February 9, 2012 at 17:28
My boyfriend and I recently moved to Portland… what an awesome way to experience the Portland Weird! We really want to check this out!!! Pick us!! Pretty please… sugar, spice… all that crap…
February 9, 2012 at 17:36
is it all uphill?
February 9, 2012 at 17:57
This ride benefits the Community Cycling Center, and I can’t think of a better organization to support! Crossing my fingers!
February 9, 2012 at 18:10
My wife and I would love to do this… I just tuned up our bikes so we are ready to rock and roll last minute! Please pick us!
February 9, 2012 at 18:27
This sounds perfect….Portland, bikes, Lucky Lab beer, Laughing Planet….and hopefully some rain! Would love to do this!!
February 9, 2012 at 19:06
My hubby will ride and he would be so much surprised if I show up on my bike too…because I am usually a good weather rider. If I win a ticket I would change my mind this time and go
February 9, 2012 at 21:05
I need to win tickets so I can stop being a fat ass.
February 9, 2012 at 22:21
My wife is going to ride with or without me. If I won this I guess it would be with me. (and another cheap friend!)
February 9, 2012 at 22:22
I can’t afford to buy the tickets, but free tickets would guarantee my presence! Worst Day? I accept the challenge.
February 9, 2012 at 22:45
While it has not been the worst day the last few years perhaps it will be different this year. I can’t wait to find out.
February 9, 2012 at 23:33
I ride every day of the year. It’d be great to join 4000 others for some fun.
February 10, 2012 at 00:02
Hi I am game for the worst day. Although sometimes it’s hard to discern which day really is the worst.
February 10, 2012 at 06:58
I would love to ride on the worst day of the year.
February 10, 2012 at 08:59
This would be SO much fun!!! I need to get a little outdoor, bike time in this weekend and this sounds like an amazing way to do it! Cheers!
February 10, 2012 at 10:37
Is it too late to win? I’m such a slacker… but not when it comes to riding in the rain.
February 10, 2012 at 10:43
The weather might actually be nasty this year and I would love to drag my boyfriend around town on his new bike. The one that he hasn’t dared to get dirty yet…
February 10, 2012 at 11:41
This sounds like so much fun. My friend is helping to organize it and it’s for a great cause, but the ticket prices are a bit prohibitive. Winning tickets would be amazing!
February 10, 2012 at 19:33
I would like to win. I’m optomistic enough that I’m making some capes tonight for us to wear. Up, up, and away!
February 11, 2012 at 17:45
the worst day of the year is the best day of the year!
