New folks. If you are confused about who to ride with, just ask someone to point you to a ride leader or other veteran member, who will help to get you in the appropriate riding group. It can be a bit hectic just prior to ride time, so an early arrival is suggested.
After the rides a lot of the folks get together for a little pizzaraderie at a local eatery. Not mandatory - but fun. Ask around if interested.

Halloween Ride and Potluck
This fun ride and potluck is on the calendar again this year! Bicycle safe costumes are encouraged, but not required. We will be starting at the Oberlin Public Library, 65 South Main St. Park in the library parking lot, the police station/city hall lot, or at the medical offices just behind the library.
11:00 A.M.: Room setup and food drop-off. We are in the Community Room, just past the restrooms, on the right. A refrigerator is available in the kitchenette.
11:30 - Rides start.
1:30 P.M. - Eat, socialize, and play games.
Here’s where help is needed:
Soup Suppliers: We need 6 - 8 volunteers to supply a crock pot of soup.
Potluck Contributors: Members are welcome (not mandatory) to bring salads, breads, crackers, desserts, etc. You don’t have to sign up to indicate what you are bringing in advance - you bring it, we'll eat it. If you have nothing to bring, come anyway. We only ran out of food once – but that is another story.
Soup “Sentries”: Someone to be at the library at 11 a.m. and to oversee arranging tables, putting on tablecloths, organizing the buffet line, stirring the soup pots, etc. We need several non-riders to assist with those tasks while the rides are going on. Contact Eva if you can help.
We would like to encourage members who are no longer riding, to come, eat and socialize.
Anybody who doesn't plan to ride is still ENCOURAGED to come socialize and eat. If you're not riding, there will probably be some table games to play, you can help with the food set up, or listen to stories of past rides and riders - they get "enhanced" and "improved" every year!
Room Restorers: Help take down the tables and fold and stack the chairs. You don’t have to sign up in advance, just be around to help when we wrap up.
Costumes optional but fun. We've seen you in bike clothes...you probably won't look any weirder. If riding, be sure your costume is bike safe.
Ride Leaders: Ride leaders for open star levels needed, +/– rides are also welcome. Contact Tom if you are willing to plan and lead a ride.

Which other Silver Wheels members are doing the Red Flannel Ride? I am doing the 62-mile route, likely at a 2+ or 3- pace. Christopher M. Day
*************************************************************************
--__________My plans for Red Flannel are:
Register day of ride. Roll out at 10:00 am. Ride the flatlander course which is trail west to Wakeman 28 miles. I'll be riding a 2* pace. Let me know if you're thinking of riding with me. It will be cold by my standards with wind from the west...not too strong. I'm not leading this ride, it's a YOYO, but would enjoy having others with me. Eva Weber weber.1@osu.edu

2026 Fall Chili Wiener Ride & Potluck
I
It's that time of year to get your thermals and chili recipes out!!
This annual event marks the official close of our 2026 riding season. Any mileage achieved subsequent to these rides will be recorded for the 2027 riding season.
We will be meeting at the Oberlin Public Library Community Room. We have the Community Room from 11:00 to 4:00. We need chili makers. Additional sides are always welcome! Food can be dropped off starting at 11:00 a.m.
For the event, it is convenient and saves disposables if you bring your own table service. However, the Club will have available limited disposable tableware.
