Hey CVC,
The weather is forecast to be very warm this weekend, with Saturday and Sunday getting into the low 90s. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and considering adding electrolytes.
On Saturday, we have four rides going. The Red Group will be going up Westlake, down Mulholland to the beach and back over Latigo. The Orange Group is doing Hidden Valley and a loop back through Newbury, TO and Agoura. The Gold Ride is headed for Newbury and Ventu Park, Dos Vientos and a return through Hidden Valley. And our new Purple ride is going to Conejo Creek and a lil spin around Westlake.
Sunday the Red group is doing the Simi loop with a start toward Calabasas with Box or Woolsey Canyon and return through Wood Ranch. The GO ride is going up Cornell to Mulholland and the Rock Store, with an additional Carlisle Canyon extension. The Social ride is going for a nice spin around Agoura and Westlake via Valley Springs and Chesboro.
We've also got midweek rides Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, including the Rock Store race ride Tuesday night, cruise rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and a Wednesday afternoon ride with Sherie.
We now have Purple rides every Saturday and official Newcomers Ride classes and rides on the first Saturday of every month.
And let's ride!

Newcomer's Ride
Get a new rider on a bike, or come and cover some great brush-up info with us. We will cover everything from bike checks, basic handling, rules and guidelines for riding in a group, avoiding road hazards and setting your own riding goals. This first one will be a test run to get down the format and information to cover. Come help us develop the curriculum. We will host a Newcomer's Ride on the first Saturday of every Month.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
The Purple ride is considered a no drop. Having said that, please note that if you are falling behind or slower than the average pace, you may be dropped. 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 and have a fun, safe ride. We will regroup regularly to allow everyone a chance to ride together.
If for any reason you leave a group ride, please pass along the information to the ride leader.
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.
