Hi Red Riders :For this week's Saturday's Red Ride, let's ride a change of pace mix of routes:I'm presently out of town but returning on Friday so I will just post a basic outlineof my proposed Sat. Red Ride: 8:30am Sprouts/Citibank parking lot start Westlake Blvd. & Agoura/Hampshire Rd.s - Westlake Village Around Westlake Lake - (our normal direction) Up Westlake Blvd. to Mulholland Hwy.Mulholland Hwy EAST to Kanan Rd. - Rock Store DESCENT Continue on Mulholland Hwy to King Gilette Ranch ( first re-group spot) Mulholland Hwy to Stunt Rd. ascent- then climb to Stunt overlook ( 2nd re-group spot) Schuren Rd. to Piuma Rd. - descend Piuma to Cold Canyon ( 3rd re-group at Fire Station - at Cold Canyon & Piuma) Cold Canyon to Mulholland Hwy - turn RIGHT - heading EASTEAST on Mulholland Hwy - Seven Minute Hill - Mulholland HwyDry Canyon Cold Creek Rd. to Calabassas & return through Mureau Rd. Las Virgenes to Agoura Rd. WEST to Westlake start. I don't have this route mapped out but I would guess it to be in the Red Ride range of approx 50 miles and 4,500' of climbing?If someone wants to draw a RWGPS route for this ride and send it out, that would be helpful. Inclement Weather Club Ride Policy: If it's actively raining or the roads are wet and the weather threatening,it is our club policy to cancel the official club ride but should the members choose to ride anyway,it is not considered an official club ride. It's been cold, snowy, slushly and icy all week in New York State - I'm looking forward to returning to sunny CA Jim Doane - CVC Red Ride Captain
