Hi everyone, Route Update: I rode this route yesterday and found out Juan Bautista Park will be closed for the annual Calabasas Pumpkin Festival. As a result I have revised the route which will have us riding through Cornell and making a left on Mulholland. Revised route and sheet can be obtained at: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/767531 Road conditions: Mulholland is freshly paved from 7 minute hill to Old Topanga. Parts of Agoura is freshly paved. Hazard on Agoura Eastbound after Chesebro Canyon. Steel plated in the road way. Hazard on Agoura Eastbound before Reyes Adobe. Be aware of rocks on Mulholland. Regards Norm
