We are planning a Newcomers Ride coming on the first Saturday of every month, starting September 3rd. Contact me for the ride outline and help us put together the information to be covered on the ride.
Agoura Road is still closed just south of Kanan for another couple weeks. There is also construction on the roads in the Reed Bypass so watch for uneven surfaces and debris. Please warn riders behind you of anything in the bike lanes! You are their eyes when you are on the front.
Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra gear, supplies and my toolbox, pump, etc.
