The event takes place April 20 - 22 2018

At our last OCW General Meeting, Pete van Nuys, local area director of the California Association of Bicycling Organizations(CABO) gave a quick report on many of the issues facing cyclists in our state. CABO is one of the few voices in Sacramento supporting bicyclists rights. That night, over $110 in donations were given by OCW members to help keep cycling safe. OCW supports the activities of CABO and asks that you consider making a pledge by going to the CABO website:

California's bicycle clubs organized into a state federation in 1972 to protect bicyclists' interests statewide and to encourage, maintain, and improve bicycling conditions.

CABO (the "A" is pronounced long) fosters and promotes a favorable climate for bicycling in California by representing the interests of cyclists before the appropriate governmental bodies to protect their rights and promoting laws, policies, and actions that treat cyclists equitably.

In addition to the usual officers, CABO has Area Directors which mirror the boundaries of the twelve Caltrans districts. All are unpaid volunteers.
