   UMCA Hub Directory

UMCA hubs lead 100+ mile rides most weekends of the year. For many riders, Hub leaders are their introduction to the sport. Search for a hub in your region!

If you are tired of riding alone, e-mail one of the Hub leaders below and find out about the next ride. Or, sign up to be a Hub leader. Dave Buzzee, D_Buzzee @ yahoo.com, in Dublin, OH, (614) 519-7921.

What does a Hub leader do?

  • designate a starting time and location
  • either give a verbal description of the route or hand out a cue sheet
  • suggest some regrouping points (i.e., places to eat & drink!)
  • ride, eat and drink
Get involved, make some new friends, and introduce folks to the joys of endurance riding.
