Just a quick note to some of those who have requested bulk shipments of the Ohio Bicycle Events Calendar: Due to shipping package size constraints, some shipments have been reduced in piece-count. In other words, the boxes or envelopes would hold only so many copies of the booklet so we may have had to short some to make them fit! The good news is that, if you need or want additional copies…

We’re off to a flying start collecting information for the 2023 edition of the Ohio Bicycle Events Calendar. This will be the 40th annual issue. To gather the information we need, in November we mail questionnaire forms to the previous year’s ride contacts and to bicycle clubs, in case they’re starting something new. To secure means of circulation, we contact bicycle shops and clubs in January offering free copies of our publication…
The 2020 edition of the Ohio Bicycle Events Calendar is shipping now and will be available at a number of Ohio’s finest bicycle shops by the end of the first week of March. Contents include old favorite rides, a few new ones, and a somewhat expanded list of bicycle races of interest to the state’s cyclists. It’s also the 40th anniversary of our parent group, the Ohio Bicycle Federation, and we published…
Getting the word out early is our annual goal and that means we’d like to actually have every copy of the Calendar out there in cyclists’ hands promoting bicycling. At the time of this writing, we still had some copies warehoused and we’d like to change that. So, if you represent a bicycle shop, club, or event that would like to have printed copies of the 2019 Ohio Bicycle Events Calendar for…
We are on the eve of release of the 2018 Ohio Bicycle Events Calendar with the Web and PDF versions going live tomorrow (March 7), and the print version expected to begin shipping the same day! We’re a little later than usual due to unexpected delays at the printers’ but we hope you find the product well worth the wait. This year we’re listing nearly 160 bicycle touring and racing events of…
The first bulk shipments of the 2017 Ohio Bicycle Events Calendar hit the road today, March 10. While production seemed to be going along swimming early on, things seemed to slow down as we approached printing. I don’t know why but that’s just the way things go sometimes! At any rate, bicycle shops and clubs that sent us requests for supplies of the Calendar are at the top of our shipping list;…
We had the opportunity today to watch printing of the first sheets of the 2015 Ohio Bicycle Events Calendar. The 24-page “book” is actually kind of a big deal. Annually we print 20,000 copies (or more) of the glossy piece to be distributed across Ohio and into portions of neighboring states. We try and make the Calendar as visually appealing as we can while maintaining its utilitarian nature — it’s a balance…
What’s “Just about done”? Our supply of Calendars. Out of about 21,000 copies printed this year, we now have only a few hundred remaining. The Calendars are “out there” doing their job of promoting bicycling events for the benefit of Ohio’s cycling community. The many thousands went out to bicycle shops, clubs, and individuals all across Ohio and in portions of neighboring states. We’d like to end the season with no Calendars…
We have handed off the publishing package to the printer and expect to see a full-color proofs in the first half of this first full week of March. Only after the proofs are approved will the job be scheduled for printing and we be given an expected delivery date. Delivery, these days, to us actually means the beginning of distribution, most of which is now handled by the printer on our order.…
