Bike MS Willamette Valley 2016
Friday, August 5 – Sunday, August 7
Western Oregon University
Monmouth, Oregon

At Bike MS, the ride is just icing on the cake. You’ll also kick back and relax with old friends while you eat mouth-watering BBQ, down ice cold brews, watch a classic movie on our big outdoor screen, and share your adventures from the road.

Our weekend escape in gorgeous Monmouth, Oregon is for every kind of rider. From the “I haven’t been on a bike since uncle Merton repossessed my Schwinn” to “Sure, I can ride 100x faster than the speed of light, can’t you?”

Don’t feel like riding? No problem. You can volunteer, make a donation, or even sponsor the event.

And here’s the best part: The dollars you raise for Bike MS fund critical research, programs, and services that help people who live with multiple sclerosis right here in our neighborhood. How sweet is that?

Bike MS is more than an escape–it’s something you believe in.

People who love Portland Pedal Power love Bike MS. You will, too. So register, volunteer or make a donation today.

Walking the Way to a Cure for MS

April 7, 2016 by Marketing

Portland Pedal Power works to support local causes we believe in. 18362574676_4343192f6f_z Walk MS is a super fun event for a great cause. For the last four years we’ve helped support by sharing their story and distributing posters all over town. The event is coming up quick on April 18th. Register here!

From start to finish, Walk MS Portland is a fun, heartfelt, family-friendly event. Enjoy tasty food and refreshing beverages, snap a pic at one of our “un-selfie” stations, explore the Kid’s Play Zone, dress up in your favorite costume, and head off from the starting line to the beat of The Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers.

17765966324_0aab392f0c_o Once the crowd gets moving, walk at whatever pace is most convenient for you and your friends (this is no race). The route covers 3.1 miles from Pioneer Courthouse Square, along the waterfront, across the Steel Bridge, south along the eastside esplanade, back across the Hawthorne Bridge, and wraps up back at the P.H. Square.

When you raise funds through Walk MS, you give hope to the more than 8,100 people living with MS in our community. The dollars raised support life-changing programs and cutting-edge research. Join the movement!

If you’re unable to join the day of the event. Register as a Virtual Walker and fundraise from the comfort of your home (or your bike!). Every dollar counts on the road to cure MS.

If you prefer working behind the scenes you can easily volunteer onsite, work as an office intern, or even play a strategic role in your community. Email [email protected] to learn more.

Bike MS Willamette Valley is Celebrating its 30th Anniversary!

July 21, 2014 by Jon Elias

Portland Pedal Power is a proud supporter of Bike MS, a program dedicated to raising money to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. The coming 2014 Bike MS Willamette Valley takes you through an incredible two-day recreational ride for cyclists of all abilities. Feast your eyes on wineries, waterfalls, rolling hills and farmlands.

To make your ride a safe and memorable one, Bike MS is fully supported with SAG vehicles, bike mechanics, and rest stops. After the ride, we invite all of our registered cyclists to celebrate and enjoy great food and festivities at Rider Village.

Bike MS is for every kind of rider: casual, commuter, the “I only ride once a year” and on the rare occasion, bionic. People who work hard, raise families, enjoy good music and watch TV. And surprisingly, very few are big-time cyclists. In fact, most of our riders are pretty casual. Which is perfect, because Bike MS Willamette Valley is a great weekend escape.
