Wednesday Landing Ride 3:30
by sheri 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Welcome to the last of the short weeks... We have 3 to go until they pick up in length!!! Can't wait! But.... spinning outside sure beats spinning inside and we know we haven't spent enough outside lately! Come join us for a quick spin through Hidden Valley. It is a short, but very sweet ride with about a 16+ average... but remember, this is SHORT! We go up, turn around and come back, so there is no getting lost! We leave at 3:30 sharp.... blinkies on the back are great ideas! The inclement weather policy is in effect for this ride, so rain stops this ride!!!!! Hope to see you Wednesday at the LANDING Parking Lot! (almost to the end of Lindero in the shopping center) We park closest to the street. Sheri 818621-1713

Saturday, 12-1-12 CVC Red Ride (Potential Rain route - closested in)
by Jim Doane 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

CVC Red Riders: As of now, the weather forecast calls for a 20% chance of rain for Sat. but is bracketed by Friday & Sunday's forecast for a higher probability of rain so it appears that the weather will be unsettled at best for the entire week-end. I'm suggesting a Saturday Red Ride with maximum bail out points should we experience rain along the way: Saturday, 12-1-12 8:30 AM Citibank/Sprouts parking lot ( Westlake Blvd./Agoura/Hampshire Rd.s) Rock Store Upper Encinal Canyon Lechusa & Mulholland Little Sycamore Rd. ( to the LA/Ventura Co. line) - back down to Mulholland Hwy Descend Decker/Westlake Hidden Valley Dos Vientos loop back to Hidden Valley Hidden Valley to Westlake See you Sat. at 8:30am - hoping we have dry conditions ...... remember our Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. Jim Doane - CVC Red Ride Captain
