Wow! Just realized that 4 young riders from Oregon are currently racing all over the world!

Ian Boswell (19) is currently racing Tour de L'Avenir U23 in France .
Jacob Rathe (19) and Carson Miller (21) will be racing Tour of China .
Austin Boswell (17) will be racing Giro de Basilicata in Italy .

This shows that Oregon racing (OBRA) is an incredible place for young riders to develop. I started thinking of names of people to mention that have been such a tremendous influence on these young men but realized that is not possible; ALL of our OBRA community has positively influenced these young men.

There are other young riders racing in Oregon currently that benefit from such a wonderful community. I challenge you to reach out to young riders whenever given the opportunity to make a difference.

Thank you OBRA!
