Reminder Amtrak Century
by Kent Koral 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi everyone, I don't send out many reminders about other clubs Century's (always busy with ours), but this is one of my favorites. The Amtrak Century is unique as it is a bike ride down and a train ride back event..... and it is an absolute blast. Registration is this Sunday morning and the ride usually sells out in about 30 minutes. They have a wait list after that and most everyone seems to get a spot. Here are a few reminders for those that have not signed up before. - Register as an associate member of the OCW before Sunday morning. You will not have time the morning of. - make sure you are signed into your OCW account before the 7:00am fun starts. - If you don't succeed at first, the site freezes or crashes, don't give up, keep trying. - if you don't get a spot before the sold out statement comes up. get on the wait list. you will still very likely get a spot. - Remember to use the club pull-down field and pick "Conejo Valley Cyclists". This is how we all get on the same train together. Everything you need to know is on their Amtrak Reg Page at: http://www.ocwheelmen.org/page/show/424119-amtrak-registration-information Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
