This was a beautiful ride thru rolling farmland, down to the ocean, up thru winding switchback and down tight ascents by the light of Morrie’s bike!

OC Velo at Jax for Joe’s Ride
OC Velo types at the Jax for Joe’s Ride
OC Velo opened their wallets and good vibes as 15 or so members joined the ride from Jax to Jax to Jax to Jax to Jax… (That’s a lot of Jax). Rule 17.2 was ingored and a fairly large good decided to follow Brycovitch pretty far off track but the extra miles where fun and fast. Kick butt support for Joe!!
OC Velo at El Do Crits
Morrie and Chris at El Do Park Crits
OC Velo (racing in Surf City Cyclery Kits) has been present and in the points at the last 3 El Do Crits. We are looking for some teammates as Morrie and I are outnumbered when it comes to team tactics. Generally the races start at 6:00 pm (or later depending on the daylight). See www.californiabicycleracing.com for details. Come on out and get your hustle on! (We really go for the Fish Tacos afterwards!!)

OCV on Balcolm Canyon
Stage 6 of the 2007 Tour of California saw the peloton ride thru Ojai down to Santa Clairita. The route included several tough climbs including Balcolm Canyon. John, Mike, Dave H, Christina, Paul, Morrie and Chris previewed the ride early Saturday morning parking near the summit of the 20% climb. My guess would be that 2000 like minded folks gathered along the climb to join in cheering the pros. The OC Velo team rode close to Ojai and back capping 2 categorized climbs.

Costa Mesa Anger Managment Crit
OC Velo was active at the Costa Mesa Criterium on Feb 18th. Morrie, Mark Pace and Chris Bryce were representing the grass roots racing project – ‘OC Velo presented by Surf City Cyclery’ team. Mark was riding his first Crit and completed his first race on the way to a Cat 4 upgrade. Morrie rode 2 races, both the Masters 40+ and Cat 4. Chris rode Cat 4 and outside of taking a lap for the sponsors (see below), got appropriately smoked and just managed to hold on to the main group.
