by Kent Koral 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hi All, I have been tied up and not getting the MTB rides out for a few weeks, but now they should be back to their regular posting schedule. I have been, and will continue riding the road on Tuesdays for the summer, but I am riding the dirt on most Thursdays with the CMB crew. Its a great group, so get out and join in the fun either Tuesday or Thursday. The ride schedule for this week is as follows, per Ben Griffes with CMB: ** Tuesday we're riding in Lang Ranch. Meet at the end of Lang Ranch Pkwy at 6:00 pm. Will have the option to ride a short or longer ride. Thursday we're riding in Malibu Creek. Meet at DeAnza Park on Lost Hills Rd at 6:00 pm. ** Most of the 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 (in winter). See you soon on the road or trail! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

Thursday 5:30 pm Red Ride
by Jonathan Woodbury 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

The Thursday evening red ride will continue on Thursday July 24th, 2014. The ride leaves from the Landing parking lot at 5:30 pm PDT sharp. The route this week will be Up and Over to PCH via Encinal and back. Riders may choose to hammer the climbs and we will re-group at the top. Going down Encinal to PCH is a great place to work on leg speed technique, which means maintaining a smooth high cadence for a long time. Maintain some power to the pedals but not much. You're not trying to go fast. See how quick you can spin smoothly without bobbing. The route will change week to week and includes: 1) Reverse Rock Store Loop 2) Up and over to PCH via Encinal and back. 3) Up and over to PCH via Encinal and Mulholland 4) Whatever else riders want to do.
