Pumpkin Patch Tuesday!
by Sheri L 06 Oct '24

06 Oct '24

Hi Everyone! By Tuesday, the heatwave will be over!!!!!! WOOHOO! We will be doing Erbes to Olson to Wood Ranch for a quick pit stop and turn, but then back Olson for a "DOWN" Read Rd. (looks very different this direction). We will take this all the way to Moorpark, then Tierra Rejada, and up to Sunset to turn right to go by the incredibly* orange *pumpkin patch. Maybe even a quick pic stop... then UP Read Rd to Olsen, Sunset Hills, Erbes, La Granada and back around to Hampshire, with a quick right on Triunfo for a Lake Lap. It will be a new take on same places with bright colors and an October splurge! Let's leave at 9:00 from Starbucks. Here is the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48692760 -- Sheri

Tuesday ride: 8:30 Starbucks
by Sheri L 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Hi All, Tomorrow it is supposed to get pretty warm as we ride along, so let's start a little earlier. I have nothing fancy for tomorrow. Just a simple route. Lakeview to Lindero, Up through Hidden Valley. Go to Rancho Satwiwa Park, down to the restrooms. Then, we will go back the way we came through Hidden Valley, and here is the most important part! We make a right at Hidden Valley road right after the descent, and go to see Jerry's favorite friend at the ranch. We will go back from there after we say hello. If anyone wants to extend this, (which will be about 28 or so miles), you are welcome to either do lake laps or go to Carlile Canyon. See you tomorrow at 8:30 at Starbucks. -- Sheri

Dear CVC, The re-paving of the Westlake Wall left gravel on the road and conditions are dangerous. We heard that several riders on a Serious Cycling ride went down today. Please be aware and be cautious. -- Sheri
