There were several inquires into the Team Oregon ride - so posting to the entire group. Thank you everyone for your interest. I hope this helps...
PS: Technically I think the OUCH 2005 series is a great clinic as well :)

Subject: Re: [OBRA Chat] Road racing clinics?
Brian,
Nearly every racing team that is part of OBRA has a group/team ride - and information on their website. There are also some non-race group rides as well throughout the Metro area - also posted at bike shops and the group website. Some rides are for members only and closed to the public for safety ability and a variety of reasons, others are open to anyone. Team Oregon is of the latter. We have a Saturday team ride open to any and all levels. No one gets left behind, and we stay together as a group. As we are a racing team, strategy and practice are involved in conversation and riding. You are welcomed at any time. Liberty High School off Hwy 26 in Hilsboro, Saturday morning's rain or shine and ready to roll at 9:30am.
PIR is closed to the public except for scheduled events and the ride out is not condusive to a team ride environment so most leave from their local bike shop, or the edge of town and ride out on rural roads anywhere from 40 - 100 miles depending on the time of year and if there is a race the next day. Also, PIR is a very unique venue in that it's pancake flat with the same racers week in/week out and whose tactics require a very different team strategy than road races such as Banana Belt.
However, again - all these things are discussed should you decide to ride along. All we ask is that at this time of year, race bikes are left home, bring your rain bike fully fendered (with mudflaps for those behind you) extra tubes, food, water, and your standard tool and supplies.
We hope you come out and join us for a ride, but regardless, best wishes in 2005.

Team Oregon rides on the west side every Saturday, doing precisely what you are looking for.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Road racing clinics?
I found the cross clinics very helpful and am wondering if there are others out there that would like to ride together on the weekends and do road racing simulations. Of course, it would be great if there were some riders with racing experience that would join us that could give us pointers along the way. What I am thinking is incorporating some group riding time within the course of my current long weekend rides.
**I don't even know if PIR is a possibility-just an idea.*
We could meet some where in Portland, ride out to PIR for some laps, and then people can continue on from there.
I for one would like to get more practice riding in groups, which is difficult to do riding in a single pace line on typical group rides.
Anyone else interested? Other ideas?
Brian
