CVC Saturday Purple Ride 8:30 Malibou Lake
  • Meeting at the corner of Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road
  • (Citibank Parking Lot in Westlake Village)
  
Greetings,

SPECIAL NOTE:  Saturday the 16th is the Calabasas Ride2Recovery "Honor Ride". 
I will  announce a REGULAR PURPLE RIDE route that will not interfere with that ride & we will need a Purple Ride Leader for SAT the 16th.  While CVC is not officially sponsoring that ride, several members have signed up and I will be gone for that ride, also. 

 
This week's Saturday Purple Ride takes us on the Malibou Lake Loop.  It is 19.2 miles, with around 1200ft of climbing - all rollers or not much worse!  Remember - you can loop Westlake at the end for an extra 5 miles of flat rolling!  Afterward, join the other members at the Natural Cafe for lunch!
 
Here is the route:

We will meet at Citibank (corner of Agoura Hills and Westlake), rolling out at 8:30 AM.  Please come EARLY for parking!

The Purple ride is a beginner club ride with a 12-13 mph average pace but is open to all levels. No one gets dropped and no one is left behind. Please make sure to wear the appropriate riding attire. Please check your bike prior to Saturday and make any necessary repairs.

Although the Purple ride is a "no drop" ride, for the enjoyment and safety of the participants, we will keep a 12-14 MPH average.

If you feel you are not Purple ready, but want to work up to the Purple level, please contact the Ride Captain who will gladly give you some pointers and advise. We strongly recommend that you come out and meet the riders!  The best stepping stone to grow into a Purple rider is to ride around Westlake!  When you can sweep those 5 flat miles at a steady 12 to 14 mph pace, and still feel ready for more, then you will be able to handle many of the standard Purple routes. 

Things you need for every ride:
  • Helmet-Mandatory
  • Water or Sports Drink
  • I.D.
  • Cell phone
  • Spare tube
  • CO2 cartridge or hand pump
  • Patch kit
  • Route slip

CVC Purple Team!  :-)
