Hi, I am selling my women's size 8.5 (fits shoe size 8) Bontrager cycling shoes with cleats. I did not use them very much; they are in very good condition.  I am also selling Shimano roadbike pedals: on one size of pedal you can clip-in, and the other side of pedal is flat. These also were not used for very long and are also in very good condition.  I am selling them for $40 each or whatever you think a fair price is. You can contact me at: smachers87@PROTECTED.Thanks, Sue ...Continue Reading

We had 12 OCCers participate in the Zwift meet-up Tuesday night.  We set it up as a no-drop ride (as long as you pedal).   We had a nice pack of riders!   The course was an interesting mix of flats, rollers and relatively short climbs.  Unfortunately, yours truly has not figured out how to text while in meet-up mode using Companion on my phone. So, no words of encouragement like Paul sends out.If you want to participate just follow me in Zwift Companion and I'll include you in the invite.S ...Continue Reading
