Question of the week: What roads are open?

Lots of roads in our Santa Monica mountains are still closed. I tried to climb Westlake and descend Decker last weekend and was denied. This website may be helpful when planning rides in the future: https://dpw.lacounty.gov/roadclosures/

When riding with us:

· wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order

· stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise

· not overlap wheels

· descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots

· pass slower riders on the left

· ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards

· avoid bunching up

· respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians

· 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.
