by Joan Sauber 01 Apr '13

CVC Wednesday 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 in the parking lot found at the Main Park Entrance. 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. *Bring lights for the last part of the ride.* I won't be able to attend so James Hickey will be in charge. His cell is 805-479-9009. Have fun!!
