Happy New Year, MTB'rs I know that some of you have been the recipients of bikes and lights over the holidays. So dial in that steed and charge those lights (I at times struggle with the latter) and let's get out there!! This Tuesday the Intermidiate/Advanced Mountain Bike ride will ride Cheeseboro. Meet in the parking lot on Cheeseboro Canyon North of Driver Ave. 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. Lets stay together within our groups, and have a fun safe time. After the ride we can go for some food and refreshments. See you out there.

Social Ride Cancelation
by dpssmith＠aol.com 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

Hello everyone, It is with a heavy heart I'm canceling the official Social Ride. Road conditions here in Westlake are extremely wet. That was the bad news however unofficially there is still the possibility of a ride. The Doppler doesn't look to bad. Lots of spotty little showers and by 9:00 the chance of rain has been reduced to 50%. We may want to modify the route to accommodate the weather. Who's up for a little dampness? Dale
