FEQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can any bike be ridden in this scavenger hunt? Yes! All types of bikes are welcome. With this being a points-based event, speed is not the determining factor in winning. All bikes and all types of riders have a chance of winning!

Is there a minimum age requirement to ride? Nope! All ages are welcome, but anyone 15 and under must be accompanied with an adult. We’d love to see as many youth out there solving clues as possible.

What happens after the scavenger hunt? All riders and supporters are invited to our end-of-day afterparty at Lucky for food, beer, and community. Scavenger Hunt winners will be announced, and the bike giveaway winner will be drawn live. You won't want to miss it.

Do I need to ride to attend the afterparty? Nope! The afterparty is open to everyone — riders, supporters, and bike giveaway entrants alike.

How do I enter the bike giveaway? Purchase your tickets here. Each ticket counts as one entry. You can donate multiple times to increase your chances. No ride registration required. The winner must be present at the afterparty to claim the prize.

What is the bike giveaway package? A Primos gravel bike (size small, medium or large), a $100 Portland Design Works gift card, a full bike-packing kit from Chrome Industries, a gift card from Duer to pick out any pair of pants and shirt, a two-hour bike mechanic class of your choice for you and a friend, a free tune up from Cyclepath PDX, and four passes to CASCADA Thermal Springs.
