Candi Murray (b. Jan 2, 1951) is recognized as the mother of Oregon bike racing, heading up one of the most successful independent racing associations in the country, the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association (OBRA). For over 20 years, she has provided the organization with business leadership, helping it achieve one of the highest membership levels of any state in the country. Under her leadership, OBRA has grown to over 3000 members; created an automated phone system for race information; invested in equipment and support transportation vehicles; and established a robust web presence for the association.

Keeping bike racing local and fun has been her focus, resulting in Oregon ranking # 2 in number of cycling events (second only to California); #3 in number of amateurs (behind only California and Colorado); and ranking #1 in terms riders per capita.

Among Murray’s other achievements, she was Commissioner of Cycling for Nike’s World Masters Games, and was instrumental in leading the redevelopment of the Alpenrose Velodrome.
