Riders Rejoice! The Roanoke Mustache Ride Is Back

Start growing your mustaches. The Roanoke Mustache Ride to benefit the Roanoke GO Outside Festival is back.

The ride is Oct. 1 and is sure to include plenty of zany antics.

The gist of the mustache ride is to dress up in crazy costumes, cruise around in a pack on bikes, make a big scene (the good kind), and check out some of the city’s best bars and restaurants. Registration includes one Deschutes or Parkway beverage of your choice at Sweet Donkey, fake mustaches and swag, tour guides for the crazy adventure, happy hour specials, and prizes.

Aside from all the fun, the best part of this ride might be that it helps keep GO Fest free. Proceeds go to support all the things you love about the three day outdoor festival – Oct. 14-16. Plus, the organizers of the festival are taking part in the ride, so you can share your thoughts about the festival with them.
