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
