Free Range Cycles x PDW - Sizzlin' Summer Scramble 2023

Free Range Cycles x PDW - Sizzlin' Summer Scramble 2023
We had such a blast co-hosting an event in Portland this summer that we decided to keep the fun going! In late July we headed up to Seattle, where PDW teamed up with our friends at Free Range Cycles to host the Sizzlin’ Summer Scramble Ride and Raffle.

Our shared vision for this event was to ride our bikes, have fun in the sun, and raise funds for a good cause.
We had an excellent time on July 29th doing all three!

 In their own words, Free Range strives "to provide kindness, excellent technical support, thoughtful products, and reliable workmanship to people who are excited about bicycles". 

This shop is always seeking ways to give back to their Seattle community and they chose local nonprofit Bike Works as the recipient of our raffle proceeds.

From one of a kind handmade cycling caps to PDW bottle cages, we had tons of great prizes to give away and raised around $200 for community cycling and inclusive programming in Seattle. Congratulations to all our winners, including our new friend Toby the Cat and his family!

The ride portion of the evening found us on a leisurely roll to Golden Gardens Beach along the Burke-Gilman Trail.
Most of this route is along a flat, paved path, making it an accessible ride for a wide variety of bikes and riders.

Nothing quite like a sunset and hanging with pals after an evening of bike fun for a good cause. We hope you had a great time at the event! 

Thanks again to our awesome hosts, Free Range - and a special shoutout to Joseph/Cascade for your support!
