The Central Indiana Bicycling Association, Inc. (CIBA) is proud to sponsor the Annual Hilly Hundred Weekend, a classic bicycle event designed for the touring bicyclist. If you like a bicycling challenge that includes entertainment and fellowship with more than 5,500 bicyclists from over 40 states and several foreign countries, the Hilly is for you.

This is a grass-roots organization....meaning whatever you want to see Columbus OA do is what Columbus OA will do. If you have an idea propose it here and we will see what we can do to get the ball rolling. For starters: I would love to see an organized training run/bike/swim together. Any races coming up that you want to prepare for?

Community members are invited to participate in Nike's unprecedented worldwide event at a local level by running a free 10K race on the campus of The Ohio State University. The Nike+ Human Race is Nike's first global race taking place over the course of one day in 25 cities across multiple continents. 7:30a.m. registration.

If you want to stay in the loop and keep in touch with all the local Columbus members visit our google group page at www.groups.google.com/group/oacolumbus and request to join the group. We use this group to set-up last second training runs, offer nutrition or training tips, etc. Come search us out....

Our first Columbus Chapter function. All are welcome to join us in what will hopefully become a monthly event. This is a great opportunity to meet other like minded athletes, trade vegan dish recipes, taste some new treats, and start the process of builing a local athletic veggie community.

Please RVSP to Yony at (614)565-8848 or by email at jrmazal@gmail.com.

Look forward to meeting you all.
