by Lee Cole 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

I am bruised up on my right side from a crash Sunday. Very sore still. I am sure I will be going up Rock Store a bit slower.... This was my note for the Tuesday Evening Gold ride and it was harder than I thought. Could not stand and pedal the bike and have much less energy because of how sore that area is. So I am currently searching for someone to help with the Thursday Evening Gold ride this week while I recover. If not you can meet and decide how to proceed or do Jan's picnic ride. Start Location: Jan's Picnic Ride. Triunfo Road just west of the Dam (tennis) Club and the little yacht club building in Westlake Village at 5:15pm Here is a link at "RideWithGps": http://ridewithgps.com/routes/160376 where you can view the route and print out a cue sheet. 19 miles with 2,000 feet of climbing and the "wall" for those who know it. :-) From the Picnic ride start location at 5:15pm Up Westlake Blvd to Mulholland Right on Mulholland Right on Little Sycamore Canyon Rd to the top of Yerba Buena Rd. And back. Some quick regroups at: Westlake Blvd and Mulholland Mulholland and Little Sycamore Canyon Rd. Top of Little Sycamore Canyon Rd at Yerba Buena Rd. See you there!

We'll try the Hidden Valley route again this week...it got aborted due to really heavy winds last week. (3 of us showed up...) It's suppposed to be a lot warmer and nicer tomorrow evening!

For CVC'rs, longer ride is between a "gold" and "orange" level. No drops. I wait for the slowest rider. RIDE START: Triunfo Road just west of the Dam (tennis) Club and little yacht club building in Westlake Village. (From the 101 Fwy, take Lindero Cyn. south until it ends at Triunfo. Go right on Triunfo a couple hundred yards...where there's grass, sidewalk, the lake...and park along the curb.) TIME: Those wishing to get in ~20 miles, 5:30, ready to ride. Those just going around the lake can show up at any time. PICNIC: After riding - picnic starts around 7:00 p.m. WHAT TO BRING: HELMET AND BIKE! For picnic, bring something to share (cheese, crackers, fruit, olives, pretzels, cookies, whatever...), a beverage (and something to drink it in if you don't want to drink out of the bottle), something to SIT on and a warm jacket. Also bring any friends, neighbors, relatives, S.O.'s and anyone else who might like to join us (preferably with bikes). Don't forget spare tubes, water bottles, etc. ROUTES: Longer ride: Routes will include Hidden Valley, Lake Malibou, North Ranch, and wherever. Around the lake: cruise around the lake in wide bike lanes...no left turns...~5 miles each loop...all flat, no discernible hills. If you wish to be removed from this e-mail list (unless you're getting the notice from CVC), please let me know. Also, feel free to pass the information on to friends, family and S.O's.
