Passion, Purpose, and Pedals

Who We Are

At Oakdale Cycling Events, we believe cycling is more than a sport—it’s a catalyst for connection and change. Founded by a team of cycling enthusiasts and community advocates, our nonprofit is dedicated to making cycling accessible and meaningful for all.

On a mission to spark a love for cycling.

Our mission is to spark a love for cycling that connects people, preserves our landscapes, and empowers community transformation—one pedal stroke at a time.

With a vision to revitalize our community.

We envision a world where cycling is more than a sport or hobby—it’s a movement that champions human connection, revitalizes communities, and safeguards the spaces where adventure begins.

Values that drive every choice we make.

1. Rides for All

We believe cycling is for everyone. We strive to make cycling accessible and enjoyable for all people, regardless of ability or experience.

2. Pedal with Purpose

We turn miles into momentum for causes that improve the lives of our neighbors. Every event we host is an opportunity to give back and strengthen our local community.

3. Trailblazing Safety

We prioritize the safety of cyclists by advocating for well-maintained roads and trails, ensuring every cyclist has the freedom to ride confidently and securely.

4. Stronger Together

We believe in the power of partnerships to create meaningful change. We partner with local organizations, businesses and individuals to maximize our impact.

“Life is like riding a bicycle - to keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

— Albert Einstein
