Hi CVC'rs, Sheri and I will be leading Saturday’s Gold away ride starting from Ventura’s Mission Park Area. The route (along with the Orange ride) will run up the bike path and then up Santa Ana Rd to Lake Casitas where we will stop prior to climbing Casitas Pass and dropping back into Carp. we will return Via bates Rd (Orange will continue on around Carp) and back down the coast. Its a beautiful 39 mile ride with fun moderate climbs and stunning views. See Taylor's post for the route. Hope to see you there.

If you don’t go for it, you definitely won’t win" - *Jens Voigt* “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime.
