Our Saturday away ride heading south at the beach should have perfect weather all the way around though. On Saturday, we are going to meet up in Malibu for a nice ride down the coast through some of Southern California's most picturesque beachs. From Will Roger's State Beach at Temescal Canyon, we will ride south through Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, Hermosa, Redondo and Palos Verdes. We will have a couple different groups rolling at moderate and cruise speeds. The plan is to meet up in Hermosa Beach for lunch. Come join us for a fun and easy ride without any mountains (I know, hard to imagine). On Sunday, we've got three rides. The G.O. Ride will head over directly for Stunt up Cornell and Mulholland to the Top of the World and back. The Social ride is cruising up to Wildwood Park through Thousand Oaks, and back over Pederson and Erbes. And the Mountain Bike/Gravel ride will start in Newbury Park and hit some of the trails in the Dos Vientos area. We've also got midweek rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings. The Wednesday afternoon ride will resume the second week of January. Always be more aware when riding with a group. You are the eyes of everyone behind you and the voice to point out obstacles, vehicles and other hazards. Keep your spacing generous and focus your efforts on the climbs. Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra gear, supplies and my toolbox, pump, etc. And let's ride!

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.
