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!!!

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.
