Event: The OBC Annual Garage Sale

You just can't miss this event. Close to 100 enthusiastic deal seekers packed the HMCS Bytown  Officers' Mess last May and had a blast! Souvenir water bottles, poster, books, high quality clothing items, and every bike part you can dream of, were on sale for very generous prices. Rosmarie Gerber (our retired office administator) also unloaded surplus OBC clothing for peanuts. Bring your gems to sell and setup at a table, cash in on deals, or just enjoy the great atmosphere. The OBC garage sale - a great tradition at 78 Lisgar. See you there.   Note: setting up to sell items can start as early as 6:00 pm

Race Report - Junior Pan American Games

Race Report - Junior Pan American Games

Well that's it; the successful week of racing at Junior Pan American Games is officially over.  The racing in Guatemala started out with some nerves due to the fact that it was the first international competition for many of the riders on this year's young junior team. Team Canada was very excited for their upcoming races throughout the 7 days and excited to work as a team and try our very best in all our races we were there to do. The week started out pretty slow for certain riders because some did not start racing until somewhere throughout the middle of the week.

Adirondack Quickie August 17 - 19 2012

Once again the OBC will visit the Lake Placid area in late summer. This is a great area to ride a bike, with layered green hills, rushing streams and lots of quiet country roads. If that isn't enough a change of speed can be had by bringing your hiking boots - the hiking is terrific too! The sleepy town of Lake Placid is nearby as well.

Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour Update

The committee has been working hard to bring everyone the tour we have all come to expect.

New contracts have added financial pressures. Andrew ,our office manager, and Jeffrey, our website manager, have worked very hard setting up electronic means to distribute confirmation letters, distribute information sheets and coupons plus Marshal letters. This has been a steep learning curve, which is now under control.
