by Sherrie Felton 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Days are getting shorter...so: ROUTE: Out-and-Back through Hidden Valley WANT MORE MILES?: Carlisle, Treasure Hill are possible extensions. Let's discuss before heading out. START TIME: 5:15 p.m. DISTANCE: 20-25 miles PACE: This is an intermediate level ride that includes both Gold and Orange paces averaging 14+/15+ mph. NO DROPS:A no drop ride means that the leader will wait ahead at strategic points/turns along the route, or sweep behind the group as needed, so nobody gets left behind. Faster riders who are familiar with the course and who prefer to ride ahead are encouraged to do so; they need not wait at regroup points. DIRECTIONS TO RIDE START: Triunfo Canyon Rd. in Westlake Village, just west of the Dam (tennis) Club and little yacht club building. From the 101 Freeway, take Lindero Canyon south until it ends at Triunfo. Go right on Triunfo a couple hundred yards. You will see a grassy area. Park along the curb. Any questions, call / write Sherrie @ 908-432-3480 / hatoolah(a)msn.com. Regards, Sherrie Felton

Welcome Wednesday Afternoon Riders! The official Wednesday ride is beginning and we will take off this week from our spot at The Landing, (end of Lindero in the parking lot) closest to the entrance. We will meet to be ready to roll by 3:45! Likely we will stick with a Hidden Valley out and back route due to traffic unless it is extremely windy. This gives us about 20-24 miles with about a 15 avg. This is a gold/orange pace. Come on out and try it. We are back just in time for dinner!!!!! See you tomorrow at 3:45! Please let me know if you are coming so I can look for you! Sheri
