OSHAWA CYCLING CLUB TEAMS UP WITH THE UNITED WAY
If you have been wondering about the banner above, your questions will now be answered. As announced at our Winterlude awards banquet, the OCC has teamed with the United Way to present the "Ride4UnitedWay". This new feature ride will take the place of our traditional Scugog Circle Century Tour. There are four totally new routes and up to four rest stops. The routes are in the ridges and hilly so start training now. The OCC will also be at the Toronto Bike Show (March 13,14,15). We will be at the "Ride4UnitedWay" booth promoting the new ride and handing out some promotional material of our own as well. If you go to the show, come on over and check us out.

OSHAWA CYCLING CLUB LAUNCHES REDESIGNED WEB SITE
Today the Oshawa Cycling Club unveils its newly designed web site. The new site should make navigation a little easier and has a few new features. We now have a photo gallery which shows some of our activities and a members forum/ride board that should help our members keep in touch with each other a little easier. We hope you take the time to explore our redesigned site. A special thanks to Chris and James of BlinkBlink for their help with the redesign. Although we have tried to work out all the bugs in the new site, if you have any problems with it please contact us.

TEAM "CORA-MARTY-BRENT" CAPTURES THE BRONZE
After a gruelling summer training schedule, Team "Cora-Marty-Brent" left their mark at the Guelph Lake II Sprint Triathlon Relay. Cora led the team in the swim, followed by Marty on the bike and anchored by Brent in the run. There has been much discussion between the two male members of this team regarding who catapulted them to their 3rd place finnish. Most club members know that Cora is their real strength and she just brings the guys along for the ride.
