  • NWCP – down every category; mainly the WMN. On the national level, WMN have been doing great. Lack in and disconnect from NWCP women and amateur racing. Cost is a barrier to entry for college students.
  • Track – good racing season; two new promoters, Tuesday and Thursday nights. Increased road rider attendance. Senior WMN numbers was down, Friday night numbers of steady with beginner WMN up. Velodrome Challenge; numbers are up from last year, so growing. New track committee; new ideas coming to the table, push on Madison racing.
  • The David’s: Worked hard to save some of the road races; Would like to bring back cherry pie and the Lebanon race. Cross, was solid, but disappointing, decrease in participation about 20%. Saw an increase in beginner fields, decrease in “season racers.” Winter? Was the decrease in attendance due to weather?

1/28/17 BOD Meeting Minutes

/in , /by
OBRA Board of Directors Meeting
1/28/17
Board Members Present: Kenji Sugahara, Glen Gann, Michelle Mercer, Steven Beardsley, Meg Mautner
Advisory Board Members Present:  Brad Ross
Absent: John Wilson, Candi Murray, Mike Murray
•        Tentative dates were set for quarterly meetings (4/29, 7/29, 11/25). We are also going to meet in February to design a strategic plan for OBRA (5 year plan).
•        Jen Featheringill presented membership information. She has issued approximately 500 memberships up to this point.
•        Joel Fletcher presented his marketing work for OBRA. Joel’s marketing plan will be updated this weekend.
•        The BOD reviewed the financials from 2016 along with membership numbers. We discussed trends, limiting capital expenses, people having less time to train, safety on the roads, etc.
                  Action item: insurance for the OBRA trucks. What happens in an accident? Whose insurance pays? Kenji will look into this
•        1st aid-Mike Murray has been the person in charge for first aid. We talked about who might be able to carry out this job when Mike no longer wants to.
                  Action item: Steven Beardsley and Brad Ross will talk to Mike and connect Mike with someone who might be interested.
•        A good chunk of the meeting was spent talking about board member roles and responsibilities along with the executive director roles and responsibilities. We need to meet face to face at least 1x per year; other meetings can be held via videoconference. Once we have our strategic plan in place, then we can determine what the roles will be. We also have to have the survey created, given, and results tallied so we have a sense of our direction and mission from the OBRA membership.
                  Action item: survey will be created by Kenji (is that correct?). The board will look over the survey before it gets distributed but we have to do this ASAP.
•        Transparency, open board meetings, accountability
 Lots of discussion and ideas on how to make things more transparent to the membership:
1.    Public board meetings (similar to a school board meeting where there is time for public comment at the end)
2.    Have Town Hall meetings in various parts of the state regularly with board members so we can hear what’s going on with the membership.
3.   Post agendas well ahead of time
4.    Post minutes afterwards
5.    Have a monthly dashboard for the board and OBRA employees
6.   Year end reviews
7.    Up our visibility-introduce ourselves to people at races
•        Discussion whether to have OBRA website to be professionally done –link up the Industry and Try OBRA website.
         Action item: Talk to Scott Willson about the code on the OBRA website. Michelle posted several good idea and Kenji will talk to Scott.
•        Line up admin rules with practice-how do we require teams to send people to officials training? Add requirement of teams to help put on a race. Discussion of what teams “get” by joining OBRA and how they can help contribute to the OBRA community.
         Action item: Change the rules so everything lines up with the expectation that all teams with 5 or more members are required to send someone to officials training with the expectation that they will help officiate. Kenji will make sure the writing is in agreement. Suggestion that there’s a place on the website that points out how people can help.
•        Change of rules to allow all members to vote rather than team rep
         Action item: Bylaws would need to be changed. Kenji will look into this.
•Discussion item: Team dues/membership dues/limiting 1 day licenses/having a year to year membership (ie., if you join in Oct., your membership doesn’t expire until the following October)

 

Dirty Circles and Jack Frost Update

/in /by

From Zone5 Promotions-

We’ve been in a mad scramble the last six days. Please read our notes on the four events listed in the subject line for recent race calendar updates and changes.

*Dirty Circles (Canceled)*

I have bad news about the venue at Dirty Circles in Woodland. Dike road has been damaged by ongoing heavy truck traffic from a sand and gravel operation that will be going on for the next 18 – 24 months (see attached photos). I was up at the site last week inspecting the road and it is overwhelming how bad it is. With the time of year and expected ongoing traffic, I don’t see the county doing timely repairs within the next 5 weeks to make it safe for racing.

With the damage to the roadway, the venue is not viable for the present and near future. We’ll say goodbye to this venue for good.

For the current registered racers, you will receive a refund shortly.

*Jack Frost TT *

With the loss of the Woodland venue, we’re going do all we can to resurrect this event. I have the venue booked for *Sunday March 5th, 2017* (Sunday Feb 26th is already booked by the rescheduled Vancouver Lake Half Marathon). I’m working on the WDOT and city permits right now. We have designed a new 20k course, but need get through the permitting process to be sure that it’s acceptable.

Date: Sunday March 5th, 2017.

Course length: 20k (12.43 miles)

Elevation gain: 384 ft.

Online registration is currently being set up and we hope to have a flier out to you all soon. Stay tuned.

*Piece of Cake RR *

To fill the void created by the loss of Dirty Circles we have been working hard to find a replacement venue. We’ve settled on a new road race course SE of Aurora, OR. I spoke with the traffic engineer at Clackamas County and had a very positive response to the course design and event. I still need to get a TCP and permit figured out but all lights look green for the new venue/event. This will be a one day event. As for the name, Dirty Circles

Board Member Candidates

Michelle Mercer (incumbent)

Michelle Mercer is a marketing and P.R. consultant in Bend, Oregon, and the marketing director for Sun Country Tours. She works with small and mid-sized organizations, helping them connect with their clients, community and other businesses. Originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, Michelle graduated from Butler University with a degree in Journalism. She worked in the radio industry for more than 14 years, most notably as the program director of KPWR-FM in Los Angeles. Michelle moved to Bend in 2007, and started the non-profit Bend Velodrome Project in 2010. In addition to serving on the boards of the Bend Velodrome Project and OBRA, Michelle also serves as a board member for Visit Bend. Michelle has enjoyed racing in multiple cycling disciplines including road, mountain, track and cyclocross.

Stephen Bedford

I would like to be considered for an OBRA board position at the upcoming annual meeting. One thing that I feel qualifies me is my extensive racing experience. In the 7 years I have been racing in OBRA I have progressed from a cat 5 to a cat 1. I have logged over 500 races through the years from local crits, Thursday night track omniums, PIR’s, Wednesday night Tabor races, and Stage races across the state. I have been fortunate to have achieved some of my goals along the way, goals like elite OBRA championships in road, criterium, and on the track. I also have experience racing at the national level in events like the Nature Valley Grand Prix, San Dimas Stage Race, Cascade Cycling Classic, and the Boise Twilight Criterium. I have been on 4 podiums in National Championship races including a National Championship Road title. Participating in these events allow me to draw on experiences with various perspectives that I can apply to OBRA at all levels.

I also have professional experience as a corporate accountant using analysis tools to advise on business decisions. My area of focus is statistical analysis using data to identify trends, and build models to forecast future outcomes. As OBRA faces challenges of declining numbers, rising costs, and pressure from USAC to adopt their platform, I can help create effective policies and strategies to give members the best possible experience.

Lastly, OBRA is my community, where I learned to race and developed into an elite racer. I have made many friends along the way, and I want the opportunity to give back. Thank you for your consideration.
Norrene Godfrey

Hello to all OBRA members!

Some of you know me, and some of you may not. My name is Norrene
Godfrey, and I have been a member of OBRA for about 30 years now. It’s
hard to believe that it has been that long; I remember Mike Murray,
shaking his head as I rolled up on my Gitane, toe clips, hairnet, all
American Flyers style. It must have been a sight. I have
evolved since my first race in 1987, but I have not lost that raw
enthusiasm and passion for the sport of cycling and OBRA. I’m
excited about running for a position on the OBRA Board of Directors.

As many of you may know Mike Murray is stepping down from the OBRA
BOD. While I will never be able to fill those big shoes of his, I can
offer up my years of experience and knowledge I have gleaned from the
sport of cycling. A few projects I have been involved in over the
years include:

UCI Team Ownership
•  Land Rover-Orbea LLC-Developed women and U23 athletes
•  Project London-Developed US Olympic Sprint athletes

Business Planning, Brand Building, and Strategic Marketing for:
•  DNA [visit Dallas DNA women’s UCI  team]
•  Pure Black UCI team [NZL]
•  ORBEA USA and ORBEA Spain
•  HIA Bicycles [Handmade in Ameria]
•  AVC [Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge]
•  Nine13 Sports NW
•  LIVESTRONG organization for team[s] involvement

Other Service:
•  Two years as a member of the USAC track committee
•  Worked to reconnect ATRA and USAC
•  Laid the groundwork for reciprocity between Oregon and USAC for cyclocross
•  Behind the scenes work for PVC [Portland Velodrome Committee] in
2017 and beyond

OBRA has always been about having fun and racing your bike. My goals
include: helping move OBRA forward and grow the membership, bring back
road racing and the track, advance new avenues of cycling while
developing youth, women memberships, and keeping strong with OBRA’s
staple of cyclocross.

We are very lucky to have OBRA and live in the Pacific Northwest; not
all states have such a thriving cycling culture as Oregon. We need to
make sure we keep nurturing OBRA to ensure it goes strong for at least
another 30 years. I love OBRA and want to volunteer my time and serve
on the Board of Directors. I’m asking you today for
your support and vote on January 28th.

Jordan Staples
My name is Jordan Staples. I have been involved with OBRA for 14yrs now as an official, promoter and racer. I have decided to throw my name into the ring for a potential board position this year as I feel that I can bring years of officiating experience and knowledge from both OBRA and USAC events. Each person on the board brings something to the table in order to complete the circle that is OBRA and I feel that my experience and knowledge in this particular area will round out the current group of board members. My goal would be to improve upon the training and retention of both current and new officials as we cannot run events without them.

Rule Proposals

Rule proposal – Individual TT, 15.5.5 (proposed by Brian List)

Section 15 Road Racing
Sub-section 15.5 Time Trial
15.5.5 Drafting, passesRemove:
No rider may ride closer than 25 meters behind and 2 meters to
the side of another rider. A rider attempting to pass another rider
must complete the pass within 500 meters, otherwise he must
drop back at least 25 meters behind the other rider.Add (mostly from USAC rule 3E6 (b) and (c)  with additional language):
No rider shall take pace behind another rider closer than 25 meters (80 feet) ahead or 2 meters (7 feet) to the side.No two riders may ride abreast other than when attempting to pass. Such attempts shall not be maintained beyond a distance of 500 meters. If the pass is not made cleanly within 500 meters then (a) if the passing rider has pulled ahead of the caught rider, the caught rider must drop back to a distance 25 meters behind the passing rider, or (b) if the passing rider has not pulled ahead of the caught rider, the passing rider must drop back to a distance of 25 meters and apologize.Reason for change:
The current rule is ambiguous with regard to the responsibilities of passing and caught riders (who must drop back and when).
