CVC Saturday Orange Ride 12/3/2011 8:30AM Westlake Citibank
by Kent Koral 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hi All, Wow, I don't know about y'all, but I ate way too much last weekend. And with all the left-overs, I'm getting sick of Turkey. Luckily we have a little reprieve before the festivities start up again (for some a very short reprieve). So, in the meantime....Lets Ride. The bike is just the ticket for those holiday indulgeneces (no, I dont mean selling it to pay the Visa bill) and to keep us in check for that holiday time chow-fest some of us (read me) love to engage in. And the road to redemption is a nice run to Topanga and back over Old Topanga. For a detailed map and route slip, go to: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/713941 As usual, we will meet at the Citibank parking lot and have our pre-ride announcements promptly at 8:30AM prior to splitting into our groups and departing. The Orange ride is an intermediate/advanced recreational ride 40 to 50 miles in length with an average pace of 15+mph. It is not a "no drop ride" but as always let's try to stick together and have a fun,safe ride. 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.

Be ready for a 6:05PM start. Most of our rides are approximately 10 miles and last around 2 hours.

Be sure to have a light capable of lighting a dark trail and lasting at least 2.5 hours and bring a spare tube & pump at a minimum. After the ride we will hit Ladyface Brewery to aid in recovery. See you Tuesday night. Kent Koral CVC Ride Director 818-802-0826
