The Harvest Century sponsored by Showers Pass is a non-competitive bike ride set in the suburban & rural areas of West Portland and features a 100, 75, 45 and free 3-mile family route. Now in its 9th year, the Harvest Century will bring together over 1200 cyclists to benefit the programs of Community Vision.

The 45, 75, and 100-mile routes feature a rest stop at Montinore Estate Vineyards where $5 cash gets you a tasting of 5 out of all 16 of their wine selections and the benefit of having your wine purchase brought to the start/finish line for you. Our Family Ride is for tricycles big & small, wheelchairs, strollers, walkers, and those who have mastered the art of riding a two-wheeled bike, but aren't prepared, willing, or able to pedal across four counties.  Finally, there’s a Finish Line Party open from 12:30 PM - 5:30 PM, which includes food, Ninkasi beer and live entertainment.

All of the proceeds from this event will stay in the local community and will be placed in the Oregon Accessibility Loan Fund, a new program Community Vision (CVI) is offering to help people with disabilities to acquire the technology they need to be more independent. For instance, to install a wheelchair ramp or roll-in shower, purchase a special communication device and the training to learn to use it, or even to purchase a bicycle that is customized to their physical and cognitive needs. This is just one of several asset building programs CVI offers to promote financial independence and stability here in Oregon. We use your donations to help individuals make a rent deposit ($800), rehab homes to make them more accessible ($3000), make a down payment on purchasing affordable housing ($8000), start a small business ($1000), or simply to give a family much needed respite care ($50 for a few hours). Every person we support lives in poverty, at or below the 50% median income. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the Harvest Century benefit adults with disabilities and their families in Oregon.  No amount is too small.  Every donation makes a difference!
