Cranksgiving 2016 is November 19: Let’s ride bikes and donate food

The 2016 poster! Thanks again, Maggie. If you want to print it, here's the PDF.

Seattle, let's ride bikes and donate food to Rainier Valley Food Bank.

A food drive scavenger hunt by bike, Cranksgiving riders bike to a secret list of unique food sellers around Seattle buying food to donate to Rainier Valley Food Bank. For the seventh year, Seattle's Cranksgiving is hosted by Seattle Bike Blog.

The 2016 ride is Saturday, November 19, starting at Cal Anderson Park (near the fountain). Register at 10:30 a.m. Hunt starts at 11 and ends in Columbia City by 2.

Invite all your friends via Facebook! The more the merrier.

You will get a list of needed food items and places to shop. You can go solo or as a small team (four adults max per team). The more you buy and the more places you buy from, the more points you get. There are also photo challenges and more.

All skill levels welcome! Anyone can win a prize!

Free to enter, but expect to spend at least $20 buying groceries (more is welcome, of course). Bring a pen and a way to carry groceries.

Party at the Royal Room after the hunt. They will have drinks for sale, but bring your own food to eat.

Last year, 160 riders hauled an incredible 1,560 pounds of food to Rainier Valley Food Bank. Come have fun and spread the love.
