Hi Orange Riders, This Saturday is our monthly Away Ride with Jim. See his post for details about the Away Orange route. For those that are riding locally, this weeks Orange Ride will be mirroring the Gold Ride with a Hidden Valley/Dos Vientos extension. See the link below for more details. We are still badly in need of an Orange ride Captain. If we can't find one soon, we will need to suspend the Orange ride. Please contact me if you are interested or have questions. For this week, appoint a leader among yourselves, keep an eye on each other, and make sure you all know the route. For a detail look at the route, go to : *http://ridewithgps.com/routes/846004* As usual, we will meet at the Citibank parking lot at 8:30 and have our pre-ride announcements prior to splitting into our groups and departing. The Orange ride is an intermediate/advanced recreational ride 40 to 50 miles in length with an average pace of 13-15 +mph. It is not a "no drop ride" but as always let's try to stick together and have a fun,safe ride. And as always, helmets are mandatory and remember to have plenty of water and spares. 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. After the ride, please join us at one of the many refueling options available at the finish such as Natural Cafe, Sea Casa, East Coast Bagel, Sprouts Market, etc.. Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Bl.(between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the Shops/Market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants, we could be asked to park elsewhere. See you Soon. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
