Hello Fellow CVC members and guests,
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.

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.

Driver ave at 6:00 pm

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.
I wont be making the Tuesday ride for a while but there is always a good
showing and, as usual, great leading from Ben Griffes of the Conejo
Mountain Bike Club.
See you soon.
Kent.
Looking forward to a mid-week ride, and we are almost there!!!
If you are interested in a Wed. afternoon ride, please let me know as I may
leave from a different location... Start time, 3:45!
