About

OTB Has been together since 1993. In 2023 we celebrated 30 years of riding. During that time we've raced, ridden, bike packed, toured and road-tripped around the world! It's always informal, and always fun. There's nothing like the motivation you get from riding with a group, no matter how large or small.

Disclaimer

It is always safer to ride with other people than alone, so riding with a group like OTB can give you peace of mind. There is an old saying.... Walk today, ride tomorrow; crash today, cry tomorrow. In other words, know your limits!

There is no shame in walking a section that you don't feel comfortable riding. We'd rather see our fellow riders happy, safe, and uninjured.

We're really just a group of mountain bikers, organizing rides through a web site. There are no membership fees or dues, applications, and you ride at your own risk.
