On Saturday, we have four rides going out. The Red Ride will be heading for Calabasas and Cardiac Hill before climbing Stunt, descending Piuma and rolling back over Mulholland. The Orange will going North through TO up Westlake, then through Moorpark and up Grimes Canyon. The Gold ride will be rolling west out through Hidden Valley and dropping down to CSU, then back up Santa Rosa Valley. And the Purple Ride is going to ride up Reyes Adobe and through Oak Park, or a nice Out-n-Back through Hidden Valley (once again the purple riders get free Cliff Blocks). On Sunday, we've got three rides. The G.O. Ride will head through Hidden Valley, then south along the beach and back up the mountain on Mulholland. The Social ride is cruising up to Lake Malibu and the base of Rock Store before returning down Cornell. And the mountain bike ride is meeting up at the trailhead at Wendy and Potrero and riding the trails around Point Mugu Park. We've also got midweek rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings. The Wednesday afternoon ride will resume the second week of January. Always be more aware when riding with a group. You are the eyes of everyone behind you and the voice to point out obstacles, vehicles and other hazards. 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 always have extra gear, supplies and my toolbox, pump, etc. And let's ride!
