About Us

The Oshawa Cycling Club was established in 1980. It was founded by two avid cyclists, Edward Reilly and Gerald Corrigan. Together they formed the club for the purpose of safe cycling, promoting physical fitness in cycling and companionship on the road.

The club offers regularly scheduled rides on weekdays and weekends from early April to late October. There are two feature rides during the season, the Canada Day Ride on July 1st and in August, the Ride4UnitedWay. The OCC supports cyclists of all age and experience levels including serious road cyclists, triathletes, touring cyclists, mountain bikers, recreational riders and active non-riding members.

The directives of the club are as follows:
- to continue to promote safe and healthy cycling
- to increase public awareness of the club
- to develop new family-oriented rides and events
