We love cycling! We love riding bikes 365 days a year rain or shine. We also love the organisations that help champion cycling in our community and beyond! These are a few of the organisations we support.
International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA)
IMBA’s mission is to create, enhance and protect great places to ride mountain bikes. Since 1988, the non-profit educational association and its 200+ local chapters have advocated for mountain bike access and IMBA chapter volunteers build and maintain trail networks across the country. IMBA’s professional Trail Solutions staff excels at planning, design, construction, and management of trail systems that provide high-quality riding experiences while minimising environmental impacts.
Showers Pass is proud to be the official outerwear supplier to IMBA North America.
National MS Society and Bike MS
Cycle Oregon is a non-profit organisation dedicated to transforming individuals and communities through bicycling. Proceeds from the ride go to the Cycle Oregon Fund, which helps preserve and protect the special places of Oregon and supports community development projects in the regions through which we ride.
The Street Trust (formerly the Bicycle Transportation Alliance) is a non-profit membership organisation working to promote bicycling and improve bicycling conditions in Oregon. Since 1990, the Street Trust has worked in partnership with citizens, businesses, community groups, government agencies, and elected officials to create communities where people can meet their daily transportation needs on a bike. The Street Trust creates healthy, sustainable communities by making bicycling safe, convenient and accessible. Bicycling transforms communities by reinventing transportation and offering solutions for the universal challenges facing health, liveability and the environment.

Their mission is to advocate for new trails, to protect, improve, and build sustainable mountain bike trails, and to create recreation opportunities for mountain biking.
