About
We honor the legacy of one of the great Ambassadors for Portland and lifelong Bike Advocate Bill Walton who lead the Portland Trail Blazers to their one and only Championship in 1977. The Big Red Head and Famed Dead Head was literally one of the biggest (definitely the tallest) Grateful Dead Fans on the planet. Truly one of the great humanists of his generation. The Grateful Dead will be the primary music of choice accompanying the ride. Open to all Blazer Maniacs, Bill Walton admirers and Grateful Dead fans. * Note this ride is a primer as we ramp up for next year's (2027) 50th Anniversary NBA Championship Ride* *This ride will be collaborating/merging with Naked Hearts The Grateful Dead and The Doors Ride and Co Hosted with Moorland*
