- Cranksgiving is a food drive on two wheels that is part bike ride, part food drive, part scavenger hunt.
- All riders will be given a manifest at registration with grocery store checkpoints and a list of non-perishable goods to be purchased for donation to Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado. Riders will then plan their own route between these stops and depart all together with a 2 hour time limit.

- We offer 2 route options at approximately 8 miles and 15 miles depending on your ride preference and navigation skill! Simply choose when you register.
- There is no set route between the stores so knowledge of local streets or how to use google maps is very helpful!
- It is ok if you don't want to go to every checkpoint!

- While some may choose to treat it as a race, there is no obligation to do so, most riders do this ride as a scavenger hunt rather than a race.
- The main focus of the ride is to have fun in the name of a worthy cause.
