SUMMARY:Beers and Gears - ALS Bike Ride 2026
CONTACT:ALS Northwest
DESCRIPTION:Beers and Gears Today!\nJoin us in beautiful Mt. Angel\, 
 Oregon for the 2026 Beers and Gears Ride for ALS. Every mile pedaled\, and
  every pint enjoyed\, fuels hope and support for those battling ALS.\n\nWe
  have routes for every rider – family fun routes\, 10 miles\, 25 miles\, 
 52 miles\, and Metric Century. Beers and Gears is a one-day fundraising 
 event designed for every biking enthusiast\, regardless of skill level. By
  registering and meeting your fundraising goal\, you'll be part of an 
 unforgettable day of fun\, community\, and support.\n\nIn addition\, we 
 are excited to share a new opportunity this year for people living with 
 ALS. We are partnering with Recumbent PDX to make riding more accessible 
 than ever. Individuals living with ALS can visit their Portland location 
 for a personalized bike fitting prior to the event\, where they will be 
 professionally fitted and will take a test ride to feel comfortable and 
 confident. On the day of the event\, participants will be able to ride the
  same bike they were fitted with for the event. Recumbent PDX offers a 
 variety of adaptive and recumbent bikes to accommodate a wide range of 
 needs and abilities\, and they're thrilled to welcome you!\n\nWe are 
 incredibly excited about this partnership and encourage you to help spread
  the word. If you are interested in using a bike from Recumbent PDX\, 
 please contact Holly Miller or Taylor Maxwell at 
 holly.miller@alsnorthwest.org or 
 taylor.maxwell@alsnorthwest.org.\n\nExperience the fun of an unforgettable
  cycling adventure through picturesque landscapes\, with dedicated support
  every step of the way - from crewed rest stops to reliable SAG vehicles 
 and a vigilant safety team. As you cross the finish line\, celebrate your 
 accomplishment amidst lively festivities\, including music\, lunch\, and a
  selection of craft beers from the Northwest. Join us in the fight to end 
 ALS\, raising vital awareness and funds for research and patient care 
 while indulging in the thrill of the ride.\n\nAll Riders will pay a $50 
 registration fee that covers the ride\, lunch\, and two pints on us. 
 Guests are $30 for all the same perks\, and people living with ALS are 
 free. Your registration fees help us to cover our costs and make sure all 
 fundraising goes toward the mission!\n\nIn 2025\, over 180 participants 
 came together to raise more than $148\,000 in the fight against ALS—help 
 us make an even bigger impact this year!\n\nTurn up the brightness and hit
  the road for this year's Beers and Gears Ride ALS Event with our 
 Highlight ALS theme. Join us for an electric ride\, bold neon colors\, 
 cold brews\, and powerful community support.\n\nSign up today and help us 
 continue the fight against ALS!\n\nTogether\, let's pedal towards a future
