CVC Tuesday Evening Novice MTB ride Meeting this week at Wendy and Potrero again and head toward Dos Vientos. However on different trails. Start time is 6:00pm Last weeks adventure up towards Dos Vientos was fantastic. We ended up getting to the original turn around point early. We decided to continue on a new trail for us which took us into Sycamore Canyon with some very fun single track. Big smiles by all. This weeks ride starts at Wendy and Potrero and will go West to the top of Potrero. Across Potrero, follow the ridge line in Dos Vientos. About 7.5 miles and 750' gain. You do not need a fully suspended mountain bike or any particular mountain biking skills. We will help you get going. Here is the RWGPS route for this evening. It would be best to view this in satellite view. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1178835 Any questions you have contact me by email or phone. See you there!

Sunday Purple Ride
by Aj Johnson 11 May '12

11 May '12

Westlake/Malibou/Mulholland Loop From Citi Bank we'll get over to Agoura Rd the usual way and turn left then head down to a right on Malibu Hills. Another right on Lost Hills. WATCH THE STOP SIGNS! Stop and regoup at De Anza Park and take care of... well whatever. Right onto Las Virgenes for 4 minutes of single-file fun. Turn right and REGROUP on Mulholland. Keep an easy pace up Mulholland and REGROUP at the stop sign at Cornell. Right onto Cornell to a right on Kanan and left on Agoura Road where there will be the last REGROUP just through the intersection. Straight down Agoura Road and back to the start. Now but the bikes away and let's drink coffee and swap lies. Purple Ride Info: This is the easiest of the CVC group rides based on lower mileage, a slower average pace and less hill climbing. Although it is called a beginner recreation ride, there is a minimal amount of fitness required to maintain the 12-13 mph average pace. Routes vary in length from 12 to 25 miles with a maximum of 1500 feet of climbing. We do our best to ensure no one gets dropped on this ride by having frequent regroups. Ride leaders can almost always use an extra hand to volunteer ride leader. If you are a fit rider using the Purple ride as an active rest ride be aware this will be active rest with the emphasis on s-l-o-w, be patient and keep the pace down. Note: Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride.
