by Grant, Janet E PWR 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

GREAT PICNIC (and ride!) last week - this week we'll do Lake Malibou. Thursday, June 2nd, 5:30 p.m. (Around-the-lakers can start at any time - picnic @ ~7:00) Westlake Village Start (directions below) Route: Lake Malibou - Triunfo to Westlake, right to Agoura Rd to Cornell, left to Mulholland, around the lake and same way back (unless some want to do Rock Store) ...approximately 19 miles. 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. Everyone is welcome. Jan Grant

Saturday CVC Red Rides: June 4th and 11th
by Jim Doane 31 May '11

31 May '11

CVC Red Riders : For the next two Saturdays I'm going to ride two charity rides along with some of you: Saturday June 4th : Ojai Valley Century (Ojai & Ventura) Saturday June 11th : Ride 2 Recovery (Calabassas) If there is a Club Red Rider riding local on either or both of those Saturdays and wants to suggest/announce/lead a Red Ride please email me. Suggestion: Since we've recently ridden rides on these routes: Fernwood Pacific, Piuma-Stunt, Latigo Canyon, Westlake-Upper Encinal, both Topangas, next on the Saturday Red Ride rotation is an out to the Coast ride with a return route riding up one of the canyons: Deer Creek, Yerba Buena, Mulholland, Decker, or Encinal return. Maybe up Decker/Westlake first then a run down a canyon route and a return up another canyon just for a change? If I don't see you on either of the two charity rides, I'll see you on the 18th. If there is sufficient interest however, we could plan for an"Red Ride Away Ride" for the 18th? Jim Doane - CVC Sec/Red Ride Leader
