Subject: Tuesday Rockstore Ride
Hi Gold Riders,
We will start this Tuesday evening gold ride to the Rock Store from
Citibank location to Malibou Lake - Rock Store - Mulholland Hwy -
Decker Canyon - around Westlake Lake. 25 + miles with 2,100' of
climbing. Starting at 5:15pm
Same route as the Tuesday Red Ride (without upper Encinal Canyon).
Re-group at:
Cornell / Mulholland and top of Rock Store.
With the sun setting early lights make it much easier to see and be seen.
Here's the route using "Ride with GPS". Where you can view the route and
print out a cue sheet:http://ridewithgps.com/routes/150707
The ride will start at 5:15pm
See you then,
Dale Smith
Tuesday Gold Ride Leader

Should be a nice day Wednesday... so.. let's meet at the Landing, (end of
Lindero Cyn) parking lot...
and take off from there. We have lots of sunlight, so we will climb Treasure
Hill, then turn down Hidden Valley Rd. Loop (coyote run) and back around
lake.
This is about 21 miles.
It will be a 15+ avg. and since it is an up and back, you can never get
dropped!!!!
(or be too ahead)!
Inclement Weather Policy does apply: Heavy winds or rain cancel this ride...
See you at 3:30 ready for the mid-week spin!

Hi Everyone,
Up in the rotation this week is the popular Northern and North Western Thousand Oaks / Lynn Ranch ride.
For those that have not ridden this route before we climb North up Westlake to Arboles. A quick hop over to Pederson and around to Big Sky / Wildwood Park. We then cut through the residential area of Thousand Oaks to avoid Lynn Road where we end up in Lynn Ranch.
A couple return options exist with a final cut through at what I call Pentagon Park back to Village Glen Plaza.
http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1835712
After ride socializing - Natural Cafe' Restaurant - Patio and/or front grassy courtyard area. Many options at this location for beverage and food establishments.
Things to have:
Helmet !!! - Water to complete the ride or at least to reach the next water stop - Tools to perform minor repairs -Chain repair linkage - Inner-tube and pump (or the like) - Cellular phone - Food to replenish energy.
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 club rides. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride.
