Hi everyone, This weekend would traditionally be our Club away ride, but we have decided to lend support to the Share the Road ride in Simi on 10-15-2011. Anyone who is interested in the ride and the foundation can see an excerpt below from Adam's email last week on the subject. We will still have a complete selection of our regular rides going from Westlake on that day. .....Long time club supporter and club member Dr. Jonathan Kurohara emailed me and asked that I spread the word about a charity ride that he is working medical support for.The ride is the 2nd annual Share the Road ride benefiting The Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation. Here is the link to their webpage with all pertinent info: http://www.sslf.org/bike-ride.html Thanks Kent Koral

Tuesday Night MTB Ride 10-4-11 6pm start Cheeseboro
by Kent Koral 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Hey MTB'rs, Charge those lights.....Its time for the Tuesday Night MTB ride to flare back up (like the way i did that?). Last season I heard a lot of good ideas from everyone, so we are going to make some minor changes to the ride. For one, we will ride at more of a gold type pace and treat the ride as a no drop type. the other idea that came up was that when we ride certain areas, we offer a shortened route. This week we will ride Cheeseboro. The main route will be the Canyon to Connector and up the Ridge fire road. Then we will descend Sulpher springs and back to the lot. This is a 10 mile route with moderate+ climbing and some technical sections. And if there is interest and someone to lead, Cheeseboro also will allow us to have a short route of Cheseboro Canyon to the bottom of Sulpher Springs and back. This route is 6 miles and consists of rolling fire road. We will meet at the lower parking lot of Cheeseboro Canyon which is located on Cheeseboro Rd north of Driver Ave. The Tuesday MTB night ride is a no drop ride so lets stay together and have a fun safe time. Be sure to have a light capable of lighting a dark trail and lasting at least 2.5 hours and bring a spare tube & pump at a minimum. See you Tuesday night Kent Koral CVC Ride Director 818-802-0826
