It is mandatory to have and ware a helmet and it is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is valid (check expiration on helmet inner tag, usually good for five years) and in good working condition. It is not a "no drop ride" but as always let's try to stick together and have a fun, safe ride.

Tools to perform minor repairs.
Chain repair linkage.

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.

CVC Wednesday evening Beginner/Intermediate MTB ride. *This ride is a mix
of fire roads and technical single track ridden at a slower pace than the
advanced ride.*
Meet at Wendy & Potrero.
Start time is 6:00pm.
Hi Mountain Bikers,
I'm starting up the Beg/Int MTB rides again but this time we'll meet
Wednesday nights. Based on the demand for it, I'll schedule one Beginner
ride every month. The rest will be more Adv. Beg./Int. rides. Mountain
biking is great exercise and tons of fun. If you've ever considered it this
is a good opportunity to try out this sport.
Route to be determined. The goal is to ride from 1.5 - 2 hrs and travel
about 8 - 12 miles. You don't have to have a mountain bike if you're new to
the sport. A bike with wide tires and a little front suspension will do to
get started.
*Lights are recommended. Currently the sun sets at 7:15pm. *
Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you there!
