CVC MTB rides for the week
by Kent Koral 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hi CVCrs, Hi All, I have been not been able to make the Tuesday MTB rides for a few weeks, and probably wont for a few more, but the CMB gang is all going, so please join them. I'll hopefully make the Thursday rides. The ride schedule for this week is as follows, per Ben with CMB: ** Tuesday we're riding in Dos Vientos. Steve says he's found a few new trails (thought we'd ridden them all by now) that he will lead us on, so meet at Wendy and Potrero at 6:00 pm Thursday we're riding in Wildwood. There is a trail we haven't ridden on in over a year, so maybe we'll include it in the mix that night. Meet in the parking lot at the end of Los Arboles at 6:00 pm. ** Most of our 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 helmet (mandatory),water, spares, and a light. See you soon on the road or trail! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

Hi Everybody, I just wanted to thank everyone for braving the elements and making tonight a great ride. Lots of conversation and brotherly love tonight. I also want to extend a special thanks to Nick Steel for saving the day by sharing a front wheel when one of us left his front wheel at home. I don't want to embarrass this rider so I won't mention his name but his initials are Richard Fortune. We love you Richard! Thanks again and see you next week, Dale
