Saturday, 10-15-11 Westlake Red Ride
by Jim Doane 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Hi Red Riders I'm going to ride the Share the Road ride in Simi Valley tomorrow. I had previously announced/suggested a local Red Ride in the Juan Bautista de Anza Park direction then you'd decide on one of the 5-6 return options from there. ( Topanga, Fernwood, etc.) Following Lee's advise about the Calabassas Pumkin Festival perhaps you'd want to ride in the Malibou Lake direction then East on Mulholland Hwy to Las Virgenes- Seven Minute Hill, Fernwood, etc. for your ride to avoid the street fair setting up around Juan Bautista Park .
