Mission Statement

The 24 hour VeloVulture is committed to bringing you 86400 seconds of mental anguish followed by a lingering physical exhaustion of caloric deficit and sleep deprivation during the 5th and 6th of September. This all we will trade for the small price of gathering the best stories, memories and pictures you are likely to acquire during the summer of '09.

UPDATE: We just set up a collective album on Picassa. Send an email to 24hourvelovulture2009@gmail.com and we'll give you permission to contribute to it. And if you have your own photo page we can put a link up to that too.

Steez of the VeloVulture

The 24 Hour VeloVulture is a 24 hour bicycle based scavenger hunt for teams of two, currently in its third year.

The rules are simple.

1) Register and pay your entry fee.

2) Show up at the start and get your manifest which is the list of things to get/see/do.

3) When we say go, start your stopwatch and go get/see/do.

4) Get to the finish within 86400 seconds. We will be strict on this one.

5) HAVE FUN! We will also be extremely strict on enforcing this.

It will be Labor Day weekend this year and Matthew Alexander Case and Thadeous Charles Bamford are planning it so you know it will be absolutely retarded in the best possible way.



You will be required to have a bike and use it as your sole transportation during the ride. Also recommended are a pen, a lock, a bag, a helmet, lights, pump, tools, a coozie, rubbers, and anything else you might need for 24 hours on the road.

Pre-Registration for 24hr Velo Vulture 2009!

Ok, here's how the pre-reg will work this year. Pre-registration will be $35 per team. The pre-registration period will end on the 31st of August, after the 31st we will take registration on the Day of the Event. Day of registration will be $40 per team. You may pre-register by emailing us at 24hourvelovulture2009@gmail.com. Locals must make payment arrangements in advance of the close of pre-registration to receive the pre-reg discount. Out of towners may pre-register here and pay the pre-reg price when they arrive, but you better be here and you better pay up suckers.

We are putting this on from the ground up, we need to have money for stuff for y'all and we need to show numbers to sponsors to get stuff for y'all. The more people who pre-register the bigger this ride will be and the more sway we will have.

This is going to be a great ride, we hope to see lots of out of towners here and we promise to make this deal about teamwork, determination, and stamina (both mental and physical) and not about insider knowledge of Portland. See you all in 6 weeks!
