by Kent Koral 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Hey CVC MTB'rs, Tuesday we're riding in Wildwood. Meet in the parking lot at the end of Los Arboles at 6:00 pm Thursday is open ride night, because this week some guys are riding the Over the Hump series in Castaic and some of us are taking the night off in prep for Saturday's 12 hours of Temecula. So pick a route and post to the group. Exact routes to be determined. Most of our rides are approximately 8-15 miles and last around 1.5-2 hours. This is an intermediate/advanced paced ride and not a no-drop ride. but,lets stay together within our groups, and have a fun safe time. You may still need a light for the end of the ride and some spares. See you soon. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
