Hey CVC Mountain Bike Riders, This Tuesday the Intermediate/Advanced Mountain Bike ride will ride Wildwood. We will meet at the parking lot at the west end of Arboles. Be ready to ride at 6pm. Routes to be determined. Most of our rides are approximately 8-15 miles and last around 1.5-2 hours. This is an intermediate/advanced paced ride and not a no-drop ride. but,lets stay together within our groups, and have a fun safe time. At this point you probably wont need to use a light except in case we get caught out late. After the ride we can go for some food and refreshments. See you out there. Kent Koral.

Tuesday Evening Beg/Int MTB ride, Sycamore Canyon, 6:00pm start
by Joan Sauber 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

CVC Tuesday evening Beginner/Intermediate MTB ride. Meet at Wendy & Potrero. Start time is 6:00pm. Let's stay in Newbury Park again this week where temps are cooler. The heat wave is predicted to continue through next Tuesday. We'll discuss how we'll get into the canyon before we head out, but the destination is Two Foxes trail with a Wood Canyon extension. This is a gorgeous ride - my favorite so far. You don't have to have a mountain bike if you're new to the sport. A bike with wide tires and maybe a little front suspension will do to get started. *PLEASE NOTE: This ride is a mix of fire roads and technical single track ridden at a slower pace than the advanced ride.* After the ride we can go for some food and refreshments. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you there!
