It's Time for the Cruise-A-Thong!
The photo gallery requires at least Flash version 9.0.28.
Join us on June 18, 2011, for Portland's third annual Cruise-A-Thong--a triathlon for the average Joe. Think you can win this one? It's not as easy as it looks. Scoring is completely arbitrary and capricious, and judge encourage bribes. The person with the most average score wins in this wacky three-legged race. Start with biking (penalties apply to bikes with gears or ugly baskets), tubing (in costume, if you'd like), and walking in thongs (flip flops!) to the finish line.
Become a fan of our Facebook page--Portland Cruise-A-Thong. And save the date--June 18, 2011--for a rollicking good time!
Bloody Mary Showdown & Margarita Mix-Off
The Bloody Mary Showdown takes place at 10:00 a.m. at Jerry's Pub, with winners announced shortly before the Cruise-A-Thong begins! Afterward, taste some great margaritas at Duke's, at the Margarita Mix-Off, which starts at 1:00.
