The ride schedule for this week is as follows, per Ben with CMB: ** Tuesday we're riding in Wildwood, possibly including an under-used trail along the way. Meet in the parking lot at the end of Los Arboles at 6:00 pm Thursday we're riding in Chesebro. Meet in the front parking lot at 6:00 pm ** Most of our 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. See you soon on the road or trail! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
