Wed. afternoon ride 3:30
by Sheri Leiken 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

The weather says it will cooperate on Wednesday, so let's go ride! This is a good-pace, Gold+ (15+) average ride up and back through Hidden Valley. It "is" a drop ride, but the plan is to stay together, and if you want at any time, you can turn back. The total mileage is about 19-20 tops. Our daylight hours are short, so we will quickly be going at 3:30 and regroup at the fire station. We will see what time we have to go to Hidden Valley circle and then right on back. A back blinkie is a good thing to go grab from your local bikeshop! Show them your discount membership card! Come on out and get your legs spinning and lose on the nice mid-week spin with us! Sheri As with any other CVC ride, please arrive with water, helmet. CVC Inclement Weather Policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining, excessively windy, or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride.
