The Portland Century Was a Great Ride!

On Sunday, August 24th, more than 1,700 riders turned out to participate in the 2008 Portland Century, a benefit for Hands On Greater Portland. Five of those riders were Hands On staff members, ready to pump some pedals for 25 to 50 miles in support of our favorite nonprofit!

The Portland Century is an annual event that takes riders on three different routes (25, 50 or 100 miles) in and around the Portland area, with some delicious, locally-catered rest stops along the way. A portion of the proceeds from participants’ registration comes to Hands On to help us in our mission to engage volunteers throughout greater Portland.

A big thanks to everyone who rode, volunteered or donated pledges!
