Sunday G.O. Alternate Ride
by dpssmith＠aol.com 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

Hi Everyone, Sunday's route is going by Moorpark College instead of Grimes Canyon. Since great minds think alike it seems, Saturday's Orange and Red Red ride would duplicate the Sunday G.O. ride. David, our new Treasurer noticed the mistake. Thank you David. Here is the new ride link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/409285 Sorry for any confusion, Dale G.O. Ride leader This is a "drop ride" meaning that if you can't keep up with the group, and/or catch up within the re-group times - you are "on your own" to know the route from previous knowledge or by following the route slip. It is possible and/or probable that members can assist others with mechanical & other rider emergencies along the route however. Our re-group spots are meant to allow a short break & a chance for riders to catch up so that the group can ride together as much as is possible. 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 the official 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.
