19 Feb '13

Hey CVC Mountain Bike Riders, This Tuesday the Intermediate/Advanced Mountain Bike Ride will ride Space Mountain (since it may be damp). Meet at the trail head on Moorpark rd at Green Meadow. Be ready to ride at 6pm. I won't make it this week (sick) but the regulars will be there. 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 will need a light and spares. After the ride we can go for some food and refreshments. See you out there. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

Due to winds and our very exciting Club Meeting... I am canceling the Wednesday afternoon ride. Everyone should come to the meeting and see Jennifer who will be going over yoga, (no pretzel yoga) just yoga stretches for cyclists. She helps build strength and flexibility where needed and has stretches you can even do on your ride... (when you stop of course)! See you all Wednesday night! Sheri
