May 16-May 21

"Stopping!" .....

With everyone in a group coming to a full stop, there is a domino effect of the back end  having to hammer it in order to catch up.  So, for those in front,  please soft pedal until the entire group has come through and re-joined.

Several things on the horizon!

Wednesday, May 20th, starting from The Lakes in Thousand Oaks, 5:30p.

A little road, a little dirt, lots of fun.  Put some tread or knobbies on your road bike,  or use your MTB or cyclocross bike for exploring the fire roads in our 'back yard'.  Details to come.

Ride the banked track in Encino on a 'fixie'.  That's right, learn how to ride a track bike with no gears, no brakes!  No worries, we'll start with a lesson first. Details to come.

Keith Ketterrer of Roundtrip Cycling will be holding clinics for improving our hill climbing and descending skills.  Registration opens soon.

** This is considered a "no drop" ride.  The ride leader will keep an eye on everyone. No one is left behind.

All rides not asterisked are considered a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). If you get to a regrouping spot and no one is there, consider yourself dropped.  As always we will try to stick together & have a fun safe ride. We will regroup regularly to allow everyone a chance to ride together.

It is mandatory to have & wear a helmet. It is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is in good condition (check expiration on helmet inner tag) and that your bike is in working condition as well. 

That’s all for now, folks.  Have a great week!
