SATURDAY RIDES
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Please arrive at the ride location with enough time to have your bike ready to roll at the scheduled time.
Also it is recommended that you bring tire tools, frame pump, spare tube, patch kit and water bottle to all rides.
A helmet is legally required for all minors and OCW REQUIRES THAT ALL ADULTS WEAR A HELMET.
Earphones are illegal and unsafe. Please remember that the California Vehicle Code applies to bicycles.
The Saturday rides are offered to improve individual and group riding skills and to promote the sport of bicycling. We do not ride when weather conditions are unsafe or if there is an OCW special event on Saturday. If you are new to OCW rides or are just returning to cycling, let us know, so we can suggest a group that fits your current riding ability.
If the ride is cancelled, the calendar will be updated at least 1 hour prior to the ride start time with the word “CANCELLED”.

NO DROP RIDE
Spring is here and OCW is inviting you and your family to dust off those bikes and come enjoy the beautiful weather with us. The Saturday Short Ride is usually a casual 25 miles. This will be a no drop, regrouping ride with a social pace. If this your first group or road ride, you can sign up with the trained and friendly OCW “Ride Like a Pro” for help navigating the laws of the road. They can also shorten the ride to meet your needs

OCW Ride like a Pro's Training Series is what you need!
Contact the designated “Pro” to confirm your attendance. The "Ride like a Pro" Training Series meets every Saturday at the start time, check the calendar (changes seasonally) at “The Square” in Irvine for an hour or more of riding and training. Riders will ride the short route or whatever may be appropriate for the group with an OCW experienced member who will take time to answer your cycling questions. Be sure that you arrive in plenty of time to check your bike and be ready to roll promptly at the ride start time. We will start the ride with instruction on some cycling traffic skills and maintenance, ie. fixing a flat, proper inflation, quick release tension setting, and the ABC quick check.
