Runs & socials
The season opens the first Saturday of May and closes in early November. Runs go out most weekends, but they are announced week to week, not months ahead, so there is often nothing in front of today. Everything is weather-dependent, and runs do get cancelled.
Dates and attendance are public. Where each run goes, and where it meets, is members-only, several routes cross private land by permission. Joining is free.
Upcoming
Nothing scheduled right now. OVJA announces runs a week or so ahead in the Facebook group rather than publishing a calendar in advance, so an empty list here is the honest state, not a missing feature.
