Grab your squirt guns and get ready to join in on a gigantic water fight! The Hottest Day of the Year Ride is going for the record of largest water fight using guns and pistols. Last year they had 900 but the record is 1,173. You can help make it happen! Squirt guns are provided.

Oh, so about that RIDE part... Choose from a 15 mile or 40 mile route, both are relatively flat urban courses that start and finish at the Lucky Lab Beer Hall in NW Portland. The finish line features a make-your-own ice cream sundae station with all the toppings you could possibly desire after a long day of riding.

This event is great for beginning cyclists and perfect for families. Children being carried or towed are half price. Advanced riders will enjoy the 40-mile route along the I-205 bike path and through northeast Portland. The Hottest Day of the Year Ride is a benefit for the Community Cycling Center, a non-profit organization that provides bike safety training to low-income youth.

On the morning of Sunday, August 12, Portland area friends, families and neighbors will hop on their bicycles, and by noon they will have biked a combined 1/2 million miles. That is like biking to the moon and back, but Providence Bridge Pedal is much more fun.

In 1994 a group of bicycle enthusiasts, inspired by the success of rides like Cycle Oregon and Seattle to Portland, had the idea that there should be a biking event to celebrate Portland. It was a short step from that notion to resounding agreement that Portland's Willamette River bridges would serve as the centerpiece of the ride. These ten bridges include architectural masterpieces (and a couple of clunkers) and offer remarkable views of the city and the river. But the bridges are more than a visual landscape: they actually stitch the community together.

Over 7,500 people showed up for the first Bridge Pedal in 1996. This year almost three times that number are expected to participate. Sign up today for the rare opportunity to see the city from way up top the Fremont bridge, to ride with friends and enjoy a day in the city.
