CVC MTB rides for the week
by Kent Koral 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hi CVCrs, Hi All, The days of dark riding are almost behind us....Just a bit of light for the end...for now! The ride schedule for this week is as follows: Tuesday we're riding in Chesebro. Meet in the front parking lot at 6:00 pm Thursday, if it's not raining, we'll ride Switchbacks-Space Mountain. Meet at the end of Moorpark at 6:00 pm I won't be out on the Tuesday night ride for a bit but will be around on Thursdays- But as usual Ben and the rest of the crew will make a good showing. 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
