The judges will be dressed wildly and roaming with helium balloons floating overhead, so be on the lookout for them. You'll have the best shot of winning if you make sure the judges see you, and really see what your costume is all about. Get flashy, show off your costume, do a song and dance and get into character. The judgest really love those sorts of antics. This is your moment to shine - and win them over!
 We've planted mysteries and surprises all around the course - so keep an eye out and stop to enjoy eerie music, watch entertainers and more. At the rest stops we'll keep you fueled with water, sugary treats and popcorn. This ride is all abut nighttime indulgences - so expect all sorts of naughty, yummy food on course.
The course is well marked with blinking lights and arrows making it very easy to find your way in the dark. We also provide support vehicles, medical riders, mechanical riders and a course map. A helmet and front and rear lights are required.

 Trick or treat without supervision - shove handfuls of candy in your face and then use that sugar buzz to boogie, hustle or electric slide across the dance floor; disco ball, fog machines, strobe lights and hula hoops included.
We'll be bumping great retro tunes from the 70's. Don't for get to wear your leisure suit and start practicing your best electric slide. Sure, you can imitate John Travolta if you want to - who doesn't love a little disco groove?
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.....doughnuts
 The ride ends right back at the beginning - at the Portland Train Station. Indulge yourself at the all-you-can-eat midnight doughnut feast. Can't decide between an éclair and a maple bar - have both! (we won't tell).
Fill up on doughnuts then
get ready to dance off your sugar buzz to our live, energetic marimba band. And this is when you turn to your friends and say, "I can't believe we're still awake!"
ROUTES
This mostly flat, 21-mile street ride takes you past hootin' and hollerin' night life and fire jugglers, through a disco party rest stop and along spectacular cityscape views to an all-you-can-eat midnight doughnut finish line feast.
Streets are open to cars and you must obey rules of the road. Support is extremely limited, so please bring your own supplies to be comfortable, such as extra clothing and a bag/pannier to carry your personal items.
Lights and helmets are required for this ride.
Due to the late night nature of this ride, is not recommended for children unless they have extensive experience riding on city streets.
Course markings will guide you along the way.
