18 Jan '12

Hi CVC Peeps! This Sunday, please join me on a great purple adventure! We will be heading out to De Anaz Park and back. What I would love to see happen is stay together as a group while we make our way on Agoura Rd. to our re-group area at De Anza park. When we travel back on Agoura Rd. and we reach Lindero Canyon, let's turn left and finish strong with a mighty West Lake Loop...together!!! This is a perfect route to invite friends or family members out for who may be new to cycling or new to riding with a group. Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday!

As per my previous email, I am going to be leading the Ventura "Red" Away Ride tomorrow. For those Red Riders staying local and riding at 8:30 out of Citibank/Sprouts parking lot, I'd appreciate one of the Red Riders leading out the troops and organizing the re-groups. This week a Coast route is in the Red Ride rotation should you not have another route in mind. I'll see the Ventura riders for our 9:00am away ride or next week back in Westlake.
