Austin Ridge Riders invites you to Cranksgiving at Pace Bend Park on Saturday, November 25, 2023, at 9:00 AM. Cranksgiving is our biggest fundraising event of the year and it’s a great way to burn off that extra helping of pumpkin pie while riding with your friends!
Riders will have an opportunity to complete multiple laps of our marked loop, earning a raffle ticket each time. Along the route we will have trail workstations where you can earn additional raffle tickets for stopping to put in 20 minutes of work alongside our awesome Trail Crew leaders. You will have 4.5 hours to complete as many laps of our 8.5 mile route (Trailforks, Strava) and as much trail work as you can. The raffle begins at 3pm. Dialed Bike Company will be present with mechanical support should you need it, Brooks Lawson - Realty Austin will be providing food, and Angel Jaramillo will be taking professional rider photos during the event!
We will also need help with the event itself, so if you are interested in volunteering have a look at the Volunteer Registration link above. We have goodie bags from KOM Trails for all our volunteers!
You can view the event map here.
Tickets are $30 per rider, and all funds go to support Austin Ridge Riders Mountain Bike Club. We look forward to seeing you there!
