But you never know about the forecast around here, so stay tuned. We will plan rides in case it does take a turn toward sunshine. Saturday is suppose to be a bit windy, so be careful and watch out for debris on the roadways - and let everyone behind you know what's coming. On Saturday, we have three away rides. The Red Ride is heading up Decker and down to the coast before climbing Latigo back up. The Orange ride is doing a Grimes Canyon summiting ride, down Norweigen Grade, over Spring and up and back on Grimes to the top. The Gold ride is doing a nice loop around Tapo Canyon in Simi, over Erbes and Royal to Lost Canyon and back. On Sunday, we've got three rides if we aren't rained out. The Red Ride is heading for a nice "flatish" loop through Agoura and Newbury around Kanan and Hidden Valley. The G.O. Ride is heading for Reyes Adobe and a Kanan loop before finishing in Thousand Oaks. The social ride is going to enjoy a nice mellow loop out Hidden Valley to the Horse Stables. We've also got midweek rides Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, including a Tuesday night mountain bike ride, a Wednesday afternoon spin with Sheri and cruise rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings. When riding with your groups, please be very verbal and on the watch for debris in the bike lanes. Always warn riders behind you of everything approaching! You are their eyes when you are on the front. Our Purple and Newcomer courses are getting a fantastic response. Please help spread the word and bring friends! Our next ride is next weekend. Come join us. We cover lots of info from bike checks, to riding strategies, to group dynamics. Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra gear, supplies and my toolbox, pump, etc. And let's ride!
