Yay, we get to make it after all!
FUN RIDE LAST
WEEK! AND GREAT PICNIC, TOO! This is my next-to-final
Thursday picnic ride. Weather should be nice and warm.
;-)
Thursday, June 7th, 5:30
p.m. (Around-the-lakers can start at any time - picnic @ ~7:00)
Westlake
Village Start (directions below)
Route: Hidden
Valley- Triunfo to Westlake, left to Potrero, right to Lake Sherwood Dr., left
on Potrero to Hidden Valley Road, left to end and back, return same way and loop
around lake for about 20 miles.
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. Picnic is here after the
ride.)
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.
(assuming people bring food and beverages, preferably to share).
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.
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.
