Bicycle Racing in Oregon with Chuck Kenlan

About this episode

In this episode I talked with Oregon Bicycle Racing Association (OBRA) Executive Director Chuck Kenlan. OBRA just wrapped up their annual meeting and the 2026 racing season kicked off last weekend. I asked Chuck about: the health of bike racing in Oregon, some of the big and exciting races, how OBRA remains an inclusive and welcoming organization, how their transgender participation policy has changed in recent years, and much more.
