Without doing any serious research we also have Tom Pickett a medal winner at many national mountain bike races in the 80's, Rick Kearns the same, Paul Thomasberg was 4th in the cross country and 3rd in the downhill in the inaugral UCI world championships in Durango Colorado, Marcel Rusenberger, was 5th in cyclo cross worlds just before he move to Oregon and while in Oregon medaled in master UCI world in mountain bike (I think 3rd in Colorado). Dave Zimbalman winner of the CCC in 1986 I think, and also a medalist at world master mountain bike championships three or so years back and I seem to even remember me winning a medal or two at the 1988 world mountain bike championships. We have a huge and diverse history which we shouls all be proud of.
I was talking to Alex Steida a couple of years ago in Paris, France and he told me how important it was for him to come to the USA and race the Cascade Cycling Classic in 1980. (He won the crit that year). For him it was races like that that prepared him to be the first North American to wear the yellow jersey.

WAKE UP!
I think we're missing some pretty obvious names, here.
Carl Decker has been throwing down in NORBA races for years, and he's been in Oregon his whole life. Then, of course, there's big Barry Wicks, Adam Craig, Ryan Trebon. Doug Ollerenshaw won Collegiate Road Nationals back in '03, and then Sea Otter Classic in '05. Olympian Mary McConneloug got her start racing in Oregon, back when she lived in Bend. These are all riders who have won huge races, and most of them have competed in actual Pro-level World Championships in at least one discipline.

Didn't David Auker and Tim Rutledge both win masters men national cyclocross
championships as Oregon/OBRA members?
And what about OBRA member Donna Smith, 2006 world record holder in the
Women's 50-54 500m TT?

Who are some of the more notable OBRA or former OBRA members?
Aaron Olson strikes me as one.
Was Chris Horner a member?
Any other famous notables?
Mike- I threw in that picture of Alpenrose (the after). Added an
Organization Section. Thinking of putting the programs in that area. Put
the page into the following categories: Cycling Organisations (Euro
spelling), Cycle racing in the US, Sports governing bodies of the United
States.
As a refresher, the page is located at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Bicycle_Racing_Association
