Tuesday Evening Beg/Int MTB ride, Lang Ranch/Cave, 6:00pm start
by Joan Sauber 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

CVC Tuesday evening Beginner/Intermediate MTB ride. *This ride is a mix of fire roads and technical single track ridden at a slower pace than the advanced ride.* Meet at north end of Las Virgenes Rd. Start time is 6:00pm. Route to be determined. The goal is to ride from 1.5 - 2 hrs and travel about 8 - 12 miles. You don't have to have a mountain bike if you're new to the sport. A bike with wide tires and a little front suspension will do to get started. *Lights are now required. We recommend lights with at least 750 lumens. Two lights are ideal - one for your handlebar and one for your helmet. You're able to see surprisingly well with this set up. CVC encourages you to support our cycling community by shopping at local bike stores.* Afterwards we can go for some food and refreshments. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you there!

Please arrive BEFORE 8:00 AM to beat the heat! This week we will ride our Wildwood Loop. Below is a link to the Ride With GPS website that will show you the route. Be sure to print out a route slip if you are unfamiliar with the area. The ride is 20.5 miles with 1413 ft. of climbing. Here is the link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/303586 To see Frequently Asked Questions regarding the Purple Ride, click here: http://www.cvcbike.org/?p=3127 The Purple ride is a beginner club ride with a 12-13 mph average pace but is open to all levels. No one gets dropped and no one is left behind. Please make sure to wear the appropriate riding attire. Please check your bike prior to Saturday and make any necessary repairs. Although the Purple ride is a "no drop" ride, for the enjoyment and safety of the participants, we will keep a 12-14 MPH average. If you feel you are not Purple ready, but want to work up to the Purple level, please contact the Ride Captain who will gladly give you some pointers and advise. We strongly recommend that you come out and meet the riders! The best stepping stone to grow into a Purple rider is to ride around Westlake! When you can sweep those 5 flat miles at a steady 12 to 14 mph pace, and still feel ready for more, then you will be able to handle many of the standard Purple routes. Things you need for every ride: Helmet-Mandatory Water or Sports Drink I.D.
