09 Feb '15

Hi All, Another week of MTB riding is here....and a bit of moisture on the trails to boot. The ride schedule for this week is as follows, per Ben Griffes with CMB: ** Tuesday we're riding in Malibu Creek. Meet at DeAnza Park on Lost Hills Rd. at 6:00 pm Thursday we're riding in Dos Vientos. Meet at Wendy and Potrero at 6:00 pm ** Most of the rides are approximately 8-15 miles and last around 1.5-2 hours. Our rides are done jointly with the Conejo Mountain Bike club (CMB). It is an intermediate paced ride and not a no-drop ride. but,lets stay together within our groups, and have a fun safe time. Always make sure you have your approved helmet (mandatory),water, spares, and a light, now that it is dark. See you soon on the road or trail! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
