Uber Asphalt Fundraising Bike Ride/Scavenger Hunt – Saturday 7/20/13 9:30 am July 15, 2013

Uber Asphalt on Saturday, July 20, 2013

is a fundraising bike ride / scavenger hunt

in St. Louis benefiting Lift For Life Academy and Trailnet.

Starts at 9:30 am

Lift For Life Academy

Saint Louis, MO 63104

Uber Asphalt is a scavenger hunt using bikes, brains and brawn. Starting and ending at Lift For Life Academy on Broadway, bikers in teams of two create their own courses throughout the city of St. Louis in order to get through six checkpoint obstacles in a race to complete this wild scavenger hunt in under 3 hours. At each of the six checkpoints, teammates complete an adventurous obstacle, collect a bottle cap, then remount their bikes and hit the streets for more. The goal is to complete all the checkpoints in the shortest amount of time.

Upon finishing, each team will receive a New Belgium beer for each bottle cap collected and turned in — up to a 6 pack per rider. For the under 21 crowd, an assorted 6 pack of Fitz’s Soda can be achieved. (Under 21 can compete with an adult.)

Depending on your planned route, the approximate miles could be from 20 to 1000.

PLEASE NOTE THE COURSE IS NOT CLOSED TO TRAFFIC.

How well do you know St. Louis? Leading up to the event, checkpoint clues will be posted on Uber Asphalt’s Facebook page. Teams choose their route and checkpoint order, giving a distinct advantage to the uber clever.

We are all winners! While there are prizes for the top three in each division (men’s team, women’s team, coed team, and family team), this ride is designed as an all-inclusive fun raiser. You can wear spandex and clip in, or flip flops and ride a cruiser. Just remember safety is our highest priority, and please be respectful of the rules of the road.

Facebook Page

All participants will receive an event t-shirt, the opportunity to earn a six pack of assorted New Belgium beers, a free after party with a complimentary brew, and the great feeling that you donated to two local charities; Lift For Life Academy & Trailnet.

At the after party, enjoy live music, a free brew to participating riders, bike fashionista & funky bike awards, local fare from food trucks, bike blender smoothies for adults and kids, raffles and more.

Steamroller Bagel & Deli will be serving up tire-shaped food at the after party!  More to come.

Cranksgiving Ride & Food Drive Sunday 11/4/12 10am – Schlafly Bottleworks 63143 October 31, 2012

St. Louis Cranksgiving  • Sunday, November 4 • 9 AM to 2 PM

Cranksgiving 2012 will be the 7th Annual event here in St. Louis. Cranksgiving is a yearly food drive presented by St. Louis Bicycle Bworks (now St. Louis BWorks) with major support from Ameren Missouri and in cooperation with Schlafley Bottleworks located at 7260 Southwest Avenue, St. Louis, 63143with all donations made to Food Outreach located at 3117 Olive Street, St. Louis, 63103.

Cranksgiving began in New York City in 1999 as a food raising event for a local food pantry by the NYC bicycle messengers. It was originally a bicycle messenger race that also raised food for the needy. After the success and excitement of this first event the concept began to migrate from city to city and is today a nation wide event in which cycling enthusiasts from different cities host what is today a family fun ride on the first Sunday in November. The ride takes a route past a number of different grocery and food outlet stores who often support the event by assisting riders as they stop to purchase food. Riders are asked to purchase a minimum of $20 worth of non perishable food during their ride that is then donated at the rides conclusion.

St. Louis’ Annual Cranksgiving has been the biggest and best supported for the past two years raising in excess of 7,000 food items annually with over 800 local riders of all ages participating. Click here to read a St. Louis Post Dispatch article about the Cranksgiving 2011 Ride.
