Hey All, This week we will join forces with the Conejo MTB crew and ride Wildwood. We will meet at the West end of Arboles at Big Sky. I may not make it out this Tuesday. If I don't, have a great ride. Most of our rides are approximately 10-15 miles and last around 2 hours. The Tuesday MTB night ride is a moderate paced, ride so lets stay together and have a fun safe time. Be sure to have a light capable of lighting a dark trail and lasting at least 2.5 hours and bring a spare tube & pump at a minimum. See you Tuesday night. Kent Koral CVC Ride Director 818-802-0826
