BCI would like to extend a special invitation to OCW members to join them for their upcoming meeting on August 27!

We’re excited to welcome Patrick O’Shea, owner and designer of Zeta Saddles, a local San Diego-based company. Several BCI riders—including some of our most enthusiastic converts—are already riding Zeta saddles and have been very impressed with their comfort and design.

This is a great opportunity to meet Patrick, learn more about Zeta Saddles, ask questions, and hear firsthand why these saddles are getting such positive reviews from fellow cyclists.

OCW members are warmly invited, and we hope to see many of you there!

On a scheduled Thursday of every other month at the Irvine Ranch Water District’s Community Meeting Room. The Public is welcome. 6:30 Social Time with food & refreshments 7:00 Presentation: Zeta Saddles

OCW Members,

I am proud to announce that we have a new sponsor for you to benefit from.

In an effort to provide members with a resource to build improved fitness — on and off the bike, Kyle Cherry Coaching will be leading us through a brief warmup shortly before our ride tomorrow (8/15). In addition to introducing himself, Kyle will be available to answer any questions that you may have.

For more information regarding Kyle and his company please click this link Kyle Cherry.

Also tomorrow, Saturday, August 15, is our Social Saturday for the month of August.

Bring a chair for after the ride and enjoy some post-ride Moto Pizza, as well as a cold non-alcoholic drink.
