CVC Thurs fun in the Dirt MTB
by Kent Koral 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hi all, this week let's ride Malibu Creek State Park. This is definitely one of the easier rides that we do, and is a rolling fun ride on easy single track and fire roads out to the MASH site. There is one semi technical creek bed, but it is short and not a big deal. Let's meet at Juan Batista park on Lost Hills rd and be ready to ride at 5:30. Make sure to bring water and your helmet. See you then. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
