Arrive early to sign in for route slip before ride starts from North lot on Turtlerock Drive. The North lot is small, and there is nostreet parking; The main lot on Sunnyhill is bigger, but farther from the start & picnic area – ride through the park, across the creek to the starting location. Wear your club jersey & show your club spirit! We have reserved the picnic area with tables, but if you like, bring a chair or blanket to sit in the sun.

Next time you change out a old tire due to wear, if it is still safe to ride for one more ride, hang on to it and bring it to an upcoming OCW General Meeting. We are collecting useable tires from our members to be used by our SAG drivers at our major events, Amtrak and Breathless Agony. Rather than purchasing a new tire to help out a stranded rider with a cut tire, we would prefer to save  money and use one of these donated tires to help get them  to the finish line. They can then replace the worn tire with a fresh one at their own expense rather the Clubs.  

Our speaker for the 2019 Awards Banquet is world famous retired bike racer, Chris Horner, who is a partner in Knight Composites. Chris has graciously arranged for OCW club members to save 35% when they order a wheelset directly from the company.  Knight Wheels has been in existence for 3 years and is quickly becoming recognized as the manufacturer of some of the finest carbon wheels on the market. Before purchasing a wheelset anywhere else, check out the Knight website (www.knightcomposites.com) to see their ever expanding line of high performance affordable carbon wheels. The discount code is CHOCW2018, and the telephone number of the office is (541)  241-8250. We hope to have a representative from Knight make a future presentation at a OCW general meeting to make us more familiar with their products. In the meantime, look over their wheels and check out the great reviews.
