Why Become a Member of Outdoor Pursuits? 

Membership in Outdoor Pursuits directly supports a volunteer-driven organization that creates meaningful outdoor experiences across Ohio. 

Each year, our volunteers and staff organize signature cycling events such as TOSRV, GOBA, OETA, XOBA, and KCBO, along with more than 37 weekly training rides and a variety of single-day rides. Beyond cycling, Outdoor Pursuits offers hiking, backpacking, winter skiing, and a growing slate of bikepacking adventures. 

Our event leaders bring deep experience and local knowledge to every activity, helping ensure rides and outings are well organized, welcoming, and safe. Membership dues play a critical role in underwriting the significant insurance and operational costs required to responsibly offer these volunteer-led programs. 

Member Benefits 

In addition to supporting our mission, Outdoor Pursuits members enjoy: 

Discounts on registration for Outdoor Pursuits events 

Early or special access to select rides and activities 

Member-only opportunities and programming 

Membership is more than a discount—it’s an investment in a vibrant, inclusive outdoor community and the volunteers who make these experiences possible.
