The Tuesday evening 5:30 pm Rock Store ride continues on Tuesday August 9th at 5:30 pm PDT sharp. The ride leaves from the Landings parking lot. Decker/Westlake is being repaved but they won't be working when we ride. The road should be ok to ride over but use caution.

CVC Thurs Fun in the Dirt MTB-Cancelled
by Kent Koral 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Hi guys, since I will be backpacking this weekend, starting this Thursday, I am canceling the ride for this week. Normally I would opt for an alternate leader, but all of the alternates are either out of town or working. We will be back on next week – the 18th – which by the way is my birthday, so everyone needs to bring presents and cards...Kidding.. I will see you all next week. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
