The Urban Assault Ride™ is a funky bike scavenger hunt that involves street-smart riding, obstacle courses, and a huge after party. Mental muscle is just as important as bike skills as teams of 2 choose their own course to checkpoints around the city.
The event is well known for its checkpoints where physical and mental obstacle courses must be completed before moving on. Big Wheels, Bike Jousting, The Keg Walk, Inflatable Slides...and much more. The first team to hit all of the checkpoint and cross the finish line wins! Then the party begins with New Belgium beer and lots more two-wheeled shenanigans!
It's a Pedal-Powered Urban Adventure!

We absolutely love Portland and can't wait for this event. So much green, so many bikes, such a huge bike culture. Portland welcomed the event with open arms and the UAR is sure to be a staple event on the calendar. And what a cool venue - Pioneer Courthouse Square!
