About
Metalheads: gather at Oregon Park on Wednesday, July 1st for one of the heaviest rides of the year, celebrating the most brutal genre of music - Death Metal! This will be a shorter version than the 2025 edition.
THEME:
Death Metal! This ride will be set to a soundtrack of death metal, with tracks from its' origins to the present. Expect a playlist of old school, brutal, technical, progressive, cosmic, cavernous, grinding, slamming, gore-soaked death metal (although probably no deathcore, sorry!). Break out your best battle jacket/vest or other death metal gear for this ride. This is a curated playlist, so synced sound systems are welcome but please refrain from conflicting sounds/bringing your own playlist.
ROUTE:
Route will be about 10-11 miles with a store stop, taking roughly 2ish hours in total. Ride may or may not be a loop, but won't end more than a mile from the start point. This will be a social-paced, no-drop ride moving at about 8-12mph. All wheels welcome.
While the route won’t be posted beforehand, feel free to ask the ride leader about specifics at Irving Park or the store stop if you have questions. Similar to a live metal show, the music will be loud; we’ll have some earplugs on hand, but we ask that you refrain from bringing pets on this ride.
See you in the pit!
