This Saturday we’ll be attending the Ride With the Legends event rolling out from St. Pete Athletic Club.

Hosted by the St Pete Bicycle Club and title sponsor Roman Austin Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers the weekend brings NBC Tour de France personalities Bob Roll and Christian Vande Velde to St. Pete for a special appearance and community ride.

Saturday’s ride follows the club’s typical weekend format, with the start shifting to St. Pete Athletic. If you’ve been considering joining a Saturday group ride, this is a great entry point. Expect multiple pace groups, experienced ride leaders, and a welcoming environment. For those looking for speed, the fast group will be well represented.

Orange Belt is not affiliated with the event, just helping spread the word and support our local cycling community.

For full details on the weekend schedule and related events with Bob and Christian, visit the St. Petersburg Bicycle Club website or page.

See you Saturday!!!!

1x3 Recap! This weekend’s comp was absolutely amazing! A huge thank you to everyone who came out and brought the energy!

A special shoutout to our 10 competitors who gave it their all — six riders hit new 3-minute PBs, and one Watt Warrior broke into the coveted 500 Watt Club!

Congrats to Kyle Tiesler for taking the W and Alex Widera for snagging 2nd!

Stay tuned — we’ll be posting photos and highlights from the event later this week, and announcing our next competition soon (get ready, featherweights!)

Last but certainly not least thank you to Roman Austin Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers and Green Bench Brewing Co. for hosting!

ANNOUNCEMENT: We’re thrilled to unveil our first Competitive Leaderboard this Saturday.

Runners have their mile, 5K, and marathon times — clear benchmarks that define performance and progress. We want the same for cyclists. And this is our first step.

The OBC 1×3 measures your 3-minute average power and places you into performance groups:

500 Watt Club — Built Different
400 Watt Club — Steady. Strong. Seen.
300 Watt Club — The Engine Room

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more competitions and leaderboards designed to challenge every type of rider — because performance comes in many forms, not just three-minute raw watts. Let’s just say… there’s a place where all this energy is about to come together.

OFFICIAL LIST!!! Watt Warriors — I’ll be emailing you all the details and format for Saturday, the 8th. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Can’t wait to see this battle unfold — the countdown has begun!

Announcing OBC’s 1x3 Competition!

We’re kicking off the next chapter of Orange Belt with our first-ever 1x3 Competition, happening during Not Just a Cyclist event at Green Bench Brewing on Nov 8.

After the ride, hop on our Wahoo Shift for a 3-minute all-out effort (with a 5-minute warm-up). Highest average power wins $100, runner-up gets $50 and leaderboard glory.

This is a raw power competition not a w/kg. So go heavy on the protein scoops, double up on the creatine, and leave the heart rate monitor at home. This one’s for the power houses and crit monsters. But don’t you featherweights worry we will be hosting a w/kg competition in the future.

Want in? DM us your email to sign up. Once spots fill, we’ll start a waitlist in case of dropouts. Spots will be very limited.

Let’s see who’s got the watts.

10/14/2025

We’ll be announcing our next event this Friday at 10a and trust us, you won’t want to miss it.

Spaces will be very limited, so be ready to lock in your spot once details drop. Stay tuned right here for all the info!

Last year, right after the hurricanes, immediately reached out to show his support and asked if there was anything he could do to help us out. Which meant a lot during a difficult time.

Now, months later, his town has been rocked by the devastating LA Fires. The St. Pete family is sending all our love, prayers, and strength to you and your community.

Show some love to JW, andla as they collaborate with community leaders to organize fundraisers for those affected. Stay strong and keep pushing forward.

St. Pete/Tampa family, take care of yourselves during these challenging times. Whether it’s a ride, walk, or run, get outside and clear your head.

We’re in the process of organizing an event to bring us all together, lift spirits, and support those who need it most. Stay tuned for more details, and if anyone needs anything in the meantime, reach out.

We’re all in this together!!!

The past 48 hours have been incredibly hard, and the road to recovery won’t be easy for our community. But we’re strong, resilient and ready to rebuild. St Pete, we love you.
