Be sure to print out a route slip if you are unfamiliar with the area.

Hi All, The Orange and Gold rides are a bit reversed this Saturday (we do this just to make sure your watching)...So,,,, The Orange ride will be riding Rockstore-Mulholland-HV Lynn Rd. Around 38 miles with some nice climbs. The weather should be perfect this weekend as long as the winds stay at bay. For a detailed map and route slip, go to: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/924539 As usual, we will meet at the Citibank parking lot and have our pre-ride announcements promptly at 8:30AM prior to splitting into our groups and departing. The Orange ride is an intermediate/advanced recreational ride 40 to 50 miles in length with an average pace of 15+mph. It is not a "no drop ride" but as always let's try to stick together and have a fun,safe ride. 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. After the ride, please join us at one of the many refueling options available at the finish such as Natural Cafe, Sea Casa, East Coast Bagel, Sprouts Market, etc.. Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Bl.(between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the Shops/Market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants, we could be asked to park elsewhere. See you Soon, Kent Koral CVC Ride Director (818) 802-0826
