Cranksgiving returns to Trinidad! Join us for a fun morning completing challenges, collecting food, and supporting our neighbors in need -- all on two wheels!
What is Cranksgiving?
This annual tradition happens in over 100 cities across the nation. Bicyclists collect Thanksgiving food donations while completing checkpoints or challenges across their city.
How does it work?
Show up at the shop at 10AM on Saturday November 21st. Bring a bike -- any kind will do -- plus a lock and some way to carry your food items (backpack, basket, rack, trailer, etc).
The event is free but please be prepared to spend at least $20-30 on groceries.
Riders follow an "alleycat" race format, which comes from bike messenger tradition. You'll get a copy of a "manifest," AKA a list of things to acquire, plus some checkpoints or challenges to complete for additional points.
Besides the rider with the most points, we also recognize the fastest rider to complete the mandatory requirements, plus the most generous participant who donates the most food or money.
Who benefits?
We'll be providing food and cash donations to Soul'd Out Ministries, a local non-profit that distributes food to needy families across Las Animas County.
Come on out for a fun morning riding around Trinidad and doing a little good while you're at it!
