Come on out this Thursday July 12th and join CVC for a ride out to Malibu Lake via Agoura/Cornell, with an optional Mulholland East Extension (5:30 p.m. Start) and Post-Ride Picnic (7:15 p.m. Start). 

ROUTE: Malibu Lake + optional Mulholland East Extension - Approximately 25 miles including a scenic climb up and over Mulholland Eastbound to Las Virgenes and a U-Turn back up Mulholland to Cornell. Please take a moment to review the route slip directly below this sentence for complete details.

ROUTE SLIP: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1333041

PACE: This is an intermediate level ride that includes both Gold and Orange paces averaging 14+ / 15+ mph.

 NO DROPS: I wait for the slowest rider at each regroup point.

DIRECTIONS TO RIDE START: Triunfo Canyon Rd in Westlake Village, just west of the Dam (tennis) Club and little yacht club building. From the 101 Freeway, take Lindero Canyon south until it ends at Triunfo. Go right on Triunfo a couple hundred yards. You will see a small building followed by a grassy area. Look for other cyclists getting ready to ride. Park along the curb.

BE PREPARED: A helmet is mandatory. Other things to bring include water or sports drink; I.D. Spare tube(s); CO2 cartridges or hand pump; patch kit; cell phone.

SAFETY NOTE: Please do not call out "clear" at intersections. The intersection may not be clear for the rider(s) behind you. If you start with the group but decide to cut the ride short or take a different route, please let me know at a regroup stop or leave me a message (cell: 908-432-3480) so I won't be waiting or looking for you.

QUESTIONS: Email me (Sherrie) at hatoolah@msn.com or call 908-432-3480.

CVC 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.

PICNIC: Starts around 7:15 p.m., immediately after we finish the ride. Because we are riding longer during these longer days, the start time is approximate. Please bring something to share: cheese crackers, fruit, olives, pretzels, cookies, whatever; a beverage and something to drink it out of if you don't want to drink it out of the bottle; something to sit on and a warm jacket. Bring your friends, neighbors, relatives, significant others, etc.  

ATTENTION PICNIC FANS: At the last two Thursday rides, Thursday ride participants opted not to gather for a post-ride picnic. I would like to get a count of those members who will usually attend a Thursday post-ride picnic if one is scheduled. Please email me at hatoolah@msn.com.
