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 where you can park along the curb. NO DROPS: The leader will sweep behind the group or wait ahead at strategic points/turns along the route, as needed, so nobody gets left behind.

If you hear someone call out “clear” while approaching a turn or intersection, or anywhere else for that matter, please disregard it and make your own decision about the safety status of the turn or intersection. 6. If you start with the group but decide to cut the ride short or take a different route, please let me know. CVC 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 a club ride.

Canceled: May 1st GO Thursday Ride + Picnic
by Sherrie Felton 01 May '14

01 May '14

Based on my review of forecasts from NOAA, Wunderground and weather.com, I am canceling today's GO Thursday Kickoff Ride and Picnic. The wind and accompanying gusts could just drop off by late this afternoon, but it looks too "iffy" for me to decide at the last moment. We will resume the GO Thursday ride next Thursday May 8th @ 5:30 p.m., weather permitting, with the Malibou Lake ride. This ride is no picnic. I will send out the details next week. The GO Thursday Kickoff Picnic is rescheduled for Thursday, June 5th @ approximately 7 pm, immediately after the GO Thursday ride. We will likely ride the Hidden Valley route that was originally planned for this week, although GO Your Own Pace Lake Laps may also be a possibility if there is interest (this can be a social ride for those who want to socialize, take if easy and/or recover, but it also presents an opportunity to get in a bit of safety first speed work for those so inclined). Regards, Sherrie Felton
