PORTLAND, OR – July 19, 2024 – Portlanders looking for an outdoor activity can experience a day of camaraderie, fitness and giving. The second annual Pedal Around Portland on August 17, 2024, sponsored by Trek Bicycle, is an event that promises not only an extraordinary cycling adventure but also an opportunity to change the lives of children in need of a bike. Riders can register at Pedal Around Portland. We encourage members of the press to capture the spirit of the event and participate and/or interview representatives or riders before, during or after at any of the Trek Bicycle locations.
Riders will begin at a Trek Bicycle shop at 8:00 A.M on Saturday, August 17 and enjoy a casual cruise featuring fun-filled rest stops at each store, tasty treats and prizes. Participants can ride as much (the circuit is 50 miles in total) or as little (the shortest route is just 10 miles) of the route as they like.
