All,

I'm involved with coordinating the 2009 OBRA meet the teams rides to take
place over the next several months. If your team is looking to bring in new
members and interested in hosting a meet the team ride please contact me no
later than this *Saturday, August 29th*.

The purpose of the rides is to give new riders/racers or unattached racers
the opportunity to ride with teams, meet team members, and determine if the
team would be a good fit for them. We'd like to keep the route the same for
each week, and while still in the planning stages, we're planning on having
all the teams do a casual (conversational pace) no-drop ride approximately 2
hours long. The Portland area rides will be the most structured on our end,
but we encourage teams in other cities to schedule rides for their teams as
well with.

If you're interested in hosting a ride for your team, please *reply to me
with the following information:*

- Team Name
- Top 3 preferred ride dates
- Team Contact Info (email/phone/website)
- Team Location (city)
- Men's or Women's team (or both)
- Approximate number of ACTIVE team members (not just number on the roster)
- Disciplines raced
- Rider category (are you all cat 1/2s? cat 5s? broad range?)
- Brief team mission/description

If you don't reply with all the information at first and just want to let me
know you're interested in hosting a ride that's fine, just expect me to come
right back to you and ask for the info again.

There will be one team scheduled per week (on Saturday) in each city. *The
following dates are available:*

September 12th (tentatively scheduled: combined Portland-area women's teams
ride)
September 19th
September 26th
October 3rd
October 10th
October 17th

Please get back to me ASAP. Thanks!
