In Memory of Therese Marie Staiger. May 21, 2026
It is with a heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our fellow club member, Therese Marie Staiger (spouse of former COWs president Brian Staiger). Therese was a cherished member of the Central Oregon Wheelers family, bringing her passion for cycling and vibrant spirit to our community rides and events. Prior to her battle with cancer Therese was a Central Oregon ride leader, event organizer, and a good friend to all she rode with. Her deep kindness, presence on the road and her dedication to our club left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of riding with her. She will be deeply missed by all of us, and we extend our most heartfelt condolences.
Honor Ride
An Honor Ride in Therese’s memory will be held in Mid-July (details forthcoming). This will be a “Slow Roll” of Therese’s favorite roads in the Tumalo area followed by a club gathering at the Bite (or other location in case smoke changes the route).
