Coaches Webinar
This past week the OMBL joined up with NICA National Coach Supporter Mike McGarry to go over what it means to be a NICA Coach. Couldn’t make it? Don’t worry! We recorded it! In this video, we cover the basics of what makes a good coach, what a practice looks like, and various questions asked by the participants.

Upcoming Fundraiser
Jen, Joe, Chris Boyle, and Steve Coss will be doing a hill climb fundraiser to help the OMBL buy a trailer to get all of the event equipment across the state. Here is the fun part! For different donation amounts you can send each of them up in different costumes, carrying different loads, or even playing music with a kazoo! Feel free to stop by and join as well. There will be a craft table for kids if they want to make some bike artwork and of course you are always welcome to join the fun and climb up Jester Hill. When not on the bike masks will be required and we encourage everybody to practice safe social distancing. Come join us and let’s get more kids on bikes!
