It is high summer now, though, so make sure you are hydrating and watching out for heat exhaustion. On Saturday we have the Mount Baldy Away rides (2 routes going to the Village, and up to the ski lifts). See above for routes and info. We will also have a Gold local ride out of the Landing on Saturday. Please come join us for the Baldy ride. It's one of the most spectacular in California. On Sunday we've got three ride options for you. The Red Ride will head south through Calabasas to the southern start of Mulholland where it joins Santa Maria and drops down into Topanga Canyon, then back up Old Topanga and rolling home over Mulholland and Cornell. The G.O. Ride will be going through Thousand Oaks over Westlake to Moorpark and up Grimes Canyon, then back over Olsen and down Erbes. And the social ride is heading for Lake Sherwood and a nice cruise through Hidden Valley to the Horse Stables. We've also got midweek rides Tuesday evening and Thursday morning, as well as the Thursday night Pub Ride. And next week we are adding a Wednesday evening family ride out of Simi Valley. Always be more aware of potential hazards and anticipate dangers when riding with your groups. You are the eyes of everyone behind you and the voice to point out obstacles, vehicles and other dangers - even when you are tucked into the peloton. Keep your spacing generous and focus your efforts on the climbs. Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I usually have extra gear, supplies and my toolkit, pump, etc. And let's ride! Bart Ziegler Ride Director Conejo Valley Cyclists REGULAR MID-WEEK CLUB RIDES Please note, we are short of midweek ride leaders now.
