EVENT OVERVIEW
This spectacular 15-mile urban bike loop starts and finishes at the new Lucky Labrador Brew Hall northwest location. Along the way you will come across the longest Slip 'n' Slide Portland's ever seen - just in time to cool you off after the first leg of the course. At the next rest stop, get ready to eat your heart out! We've got prizes for those of you who can eat half of a watermelon the fastest! Head back to the finish where we'll welcome you with a cool mist as you head to the make-your-own sundae bar.Relax, grab a beer and hang out with your friends. But don't get too settled in because we've put together the city's largest water fight right there in the parking lot. It's optional, but we're guessing you won't be able to resist squirting a little water at your riding buddies.

WORLD'S LARGEST WATER FIGHT!!
We're going for the world record of the largest water fight ever recorded! After the ride, we'll transform the parking lot into Water Zone for a gigantic, good-natured water fest.  Don't worry, a safety zone - competely dry - is available for those of you who don't want to get wet.  Squirt guns are provided.  No outside water toys are allowed.  Water marshals will be enforcing all the rules, so get ready to play nice.
