Hi Gang,
OK, whats with the weather?! It rained last weekend, then it was
nice during the week except for some wind. But, of course most of
us don't get to enjoy the weekdays since it now gets dark at 5pm (OK, we
wont complain much about that since we rode MTB 2 nights this week...if
you haven't already, you need to come out and ride with us, or sneak in a
Wednesday afternoon weekday road ride with Sheri). Now it looks like it
will be wet again tomorrow :((. But just in case the weather people are
wrong, and that pesky cut-off low moves way off shore, here's what we got
for ya...
Below is a re-cap of the rides this weekend and next week. See the ride
leaders individual posts on the mailing list for more information. *Please

Hi Everyone,
Well, its that time of year again when the weather is challenging our
riding time. This weekend seems to be no exception. Rain is slated to show
up Friday night and continue into Saturday. Because of this, the away ride
to Santa Clarita is cancelled. Rides out of Westlake will be a go if
weather allows.
(see the inclement weather weather policy below).
This week the Orange Group will ride Stunt Road out and back.

Hi Red Riders :The weather forecast as of now for this Saturday doesn't look too promising for a dry riding day.As a consequence, Kent and your Club Ride Leaders have decided to forego an Away Ride in Santa Clarita for this Sat. (This Saturday is also the "Tour de Foothills" century ride in Upland, CA )
For this week's Red Ride, if our Club's "Inclement Weather Policy" isn't in effect on Saturday morning, (actively raining or wet roads with threatening clouds) let's ride in the Somis -Balcom Canyon direction as that gives us the most bail-out, ride shortening options should the weather turn wet mid-ride.
Saturday, 11-12-11 8:30am Westlake Village: Westlake-Hidden Valley-Somis-Balcom-Grimes Canyon
(Westlake Citibank Parking lot - NE Corner Westlake Blvd. & Agoura/Hampshire Rd.'s)
Around WL Lake - out through Hidden Valley to the CSCI driveway for 1st re-group.
Decide from there who wants to ride with whom for suggested ride route options:
1) Through the College streets to Lewis Rd. - Pleasant Valley Rd. - Santa Rosa Rd.
Through town of Somis - to LA Ave. - Bradley Rd. - Balcom Canyon to town of Moorpark
OR.....
2) Ride over to and down Balcom Canyon - across Barnsdale - TO: UP Grimes Canyon
then ride down Grimes Canyon Rd. South back to Broadway/Walnut Canyon Rd. to town of Moorpark
>From Moorpark's High St. :
R Spring St. (south)
L on Tierra Rejada
R on Moorpark Rd.
L on Read Rd - through housing development to bypass
R Olsen Rd.
L on Sunset Hills to Erbes Rd.
or...
L on Pederson to Erbes Rd.
Then down to Hillcrest Dr. and back to WLV
or...
L Avenida de los Arboles
R Westlake Blvd.
L Thousand Oaks Blvd.
R Lakeview Canyon Rd.
R Agoura Rd. - back to start

together and have a fun safe time.
Be sure to have a light capable of lighting a dark trail and lasting at
