As the world faces the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve decided to temporarily suspend our group rides in the interest of social distancing. In making that decision, we grappled with how best to keep encouraging each other to ride while continuing to support the local business community where we gather pre and post ride in Portland - as well as the local businesses where YOU gather all over the world. So, we decided to create something rad in the name of healthy communities, and leave it to you to participate in the way you’re most comfortable - anywhere in the world! Introducing the ROULE TOGETHER CHALLENGE.
What it is:
A network of routes that you can ride SOLO that link together to different small businesses like coffee shops, delis, scoop shops, etc. - places with perishable items that cyclists can easily roll through and spend a few dollars at. We already have some routes up on the Roule Cycling Group Ride Page and are anticipating adding routes from other places around the US and possibly around the World, and could use your help spreading a little hope and a sense of normalcy to those who can really use it right now. We’ll all still riding together as a community, just doing it separately. Cool right?
How it Works:
1. Follow @roulecycling on IG (So that you can DM us)
2. Share the Roule Together Challenge post (Optional: Tag a Portland-area business that you want to be a part of the Challenge. As new businesses are added, we’ll release new/updated routes.)
3. Go to “Group Rides” section of the Roule Cycling website for routes
4. Select a Route - Download - Ride! (in real life or on your trainer)
5. Stop at a participating businesses (if you are comfortable doing so), order something, take a photo, tag them and @roulecycling, and use #rouletogether and #theclubrouleRTC hashtags
Want to participate and help small businesses that you care about, but live elsewhere in the world? No problem!
1. Follow @roulecycling on IG (So that you can DM us)
2. Share the Roule Together Challenge post & tag a local business or five that could use a hand
3. Create a route that incorporates those businesses & send us a link to the route - we will post it on the Roule Cycling website for all the world to see and ride!
Send us a DM or an email that includes your address and type of items you sell. We will then incorporate your location into a cycling route. If you’d like to include a special offer for cyclists participating in the ROULE TOGETHER CHALLENGE, please let us know.
Let's roll out!
