by henry montalvo 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

*CVC FUN RIDE* Leave the clips & spandex at home and bring the T-shirts & Kids. Please come and join me at *Triunfo Park on Sunday, Mar 4th at 2pm*. If you were there last time, you know how much FUN it was. The Route: *Triumfo Community Park to The Landing *at Westlake and back. The distance is a safe 5.3 miles. The Fun Ride is designed to be a stress free, community and neighborhood focused ride that teaches our families and friends that you don’t have to wear a jersey to ride the streets of the Conejo Valley. It is a mixed level ride with both adults and kids participating. Keeping that in mind, we will try to keep the pace leisurely but not lazy; fun but not fast. I hate to be a wet blanket, but please review the notices below. Click on the link to see the route http://ridewithgps.com/routes/965842 There are plenty of option to extend your ride, if you feel you need more time on the bike. Please note the inclement weather policy applies. Route and distance subject to change based on weather conditions (e.g. wind, temperature, etc...) This ride is NOT appropriate for bikes with training wheels. ALL Children must be accompanied by an adult (no baby sitting please). ALL riders must have a helmet. Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. Hope to see you there, Henry Montalvo Fun Ride Leader 310-753-1265
