Crankgiving 2025

Hi Folks
Wanted to tell you to keep your calendars open for this years Cranksgiving ride, Saturday, November 15th Starting as usual at noon at Ratio.
If you are new to the group, or haven't joined us for Cranksgiving before, what it is is a Scavenger hunt style charity event where we ride around to area markets and grocery stores to buy food for the local food bank. We also stop at breweries and enjoy some beer too. It's our most popular event of the year!
We will get together at Ratio starting around noon and get antiquated, at about 12:45 I will ask everyone to form groups of 4 to 5 people. Once groups are figured out I will pass out a list of items to buy, and stores to go to. 15 minutes is given for groups to make a plan and then everyone starts at once. Plan on spending $20 or so on groceries, and bring a backpack/ Panniers or whatever to carry stuff in.
The ride will take about 3 hours.After you have completed your missions, we will meet up at Vine St. Pub for a celebratory beer, some food and award ceremony!
As always remember that you are responsible for your safety on these rides. Make sure your bike is roadworthy, know your limits and stay hydrated. You will want to have some lights on you or your bike as it will be dark when we finish, and of course wear a friggin helmet!
