CVC Wednesday Landing Ride Come on out this Wednesday... We meet in the parking lot at the Landing at 3:45 to roll! It should be a beautiful day! We pick the least non-trafficy route we can pick... either Hidden Valley, Malibu Lake... and if there is enough interest, we can head up to Rock Store. The Landing ride is an intermediate/advanced recreational ride 20 to 25 miles in length with an average pace of 14+mph. It is not a "no drop ride" but let's try to stick together and have a fun,safe time.

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday April 24th - 9:00am

21 Apr '11

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday April 24th - 9:00am Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) I won’t be around this weekend. If someone can please take charge and lead the Social Ride I would appreciate it. Hidden Valley / Green Meadow MUP Route Come out and join us for a social paced recovery ride (14 Mph Average Speed/Pace). 30 miles maximum and stay a while to socialize afterwards by having an after-ride beverage and snack. Please remember this is a social paced recovery ride and while that may mean slightly different paces for different people, I attempt to keep the group together as a whole on these rides. The theory is to recover from our Saturday training rides and socialize. Off we will go through Hidden Valley and climb up the hill to Treasure Hill Ranch. A quick descent to a right on Reino Drive where we then take Lynn Road to Green Meadow Drive and cut though the well hidden Multi Use Path behind the Los Robles Golf Course which runs us out on to Moorpark Road. Down Moorpark Road and up our new favorite hill, Las Padres Drive which connects un into the surgical center on Halland Drive which parallels the 101 FWY to Rancho Road. From there up Rancho Road to La Granada Drive where it connects to Conejo School Road. Down Conejo School Road through a few more lightly traveled residential streets and back. After ride socializing - Natural Cafe' Restaurant - Patio and/or front grassy courtyard area. Many options at this location for beverage and food establishments.　 Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. ------ Adam Winer socialride(a)cvcbike.org
