In 2024, we are again partnering with Operation Food Search (operation backpack)!
Join St. Louis BWorks for this year’s Cranksgiving — starting and ending at 2nd Shift Brewing!
For nearly two decades now, St. Louis BWorks has put on an annual Cranksgiving canned food drive by bicycle. This year’s extravaganza will benefit Operation Food Search!
Here’s the deets:
The BWorks team will have a registration check-in table with short release forms to fill out (and beer tickets to hand out) at the brewery starting at 9:30 a.m. for a 10 a.m. ride start. If you can, print and fill out the form in advance (here is the link), and bring it with you to the event to hand to BWorks team members. That really helps save time and is much appreciated where feasible!
When and where
The Sunday, November 10, ride will begin and end at 2nd Shift Brewing! Shorter and longer route options (approximately 7, 12 and 20 miles) will be emailed to registrants by the night prior using MapMyRide (please take a good look at your chosen route before arriving!). Weather allowing, routes will be marked.
Route advisory
We strive to use low-traffic streets. That said, all streets will be open to the public, and we ask you to share the road and exercise caution throughout the event.
Other stuff
One drink ticket will be included at registration check-in, redeemable at 2nd Shift Brewing AFTER you have completed your ride. (Thank you so much, 2nd Shift, for providing both beer and N/A options including Busy Bee Root Beer!)
Parking
Plenty of street parking is along Sublette Ave. Please do not park in the 2nd Shift parking lot, and better yet, try riding to the event!
To keep in mind
While there will be some optional grocery-store stops along the routes, your $20 (or more!) donation will go further by allowing Operation Food Search (receives $15 per rider) to buy more strategically and in bulk with the collected funds. Meanwhile, BWorks (receives $5 per rider) will use its share of the funds to purchase healthy fresh snacks for our Earn-A-Bike and Learn-To-Ride courses with local youth.
