CVC Tuesday Evening Novice to Intermediate MTB ride Meeting this week at Cheseboro Rd and Cheseboro Canyon Rd in Agoura Hills. Start time is 6:00pm
This will be our second ride. Last weeks adventure in the Dos Vientos area was an absolute blast! This weeks ride is 7 miles in length with an elevation gain of 600'. Not much. We did 8 miles last week with the same climbing, stopped often to see the views, rest, watch the wildlife, took pictures, etc and made it back as the advanced ride finished. You do not have to have a fully suspended mountain bike or any particular mountain biking skills. We will help you get going.
Along that line I was at the CORBA Free Mountain Bike Skills Clinic last Saturday, some other members from CVC were there also. Mark Langton led the class with 27 people of all experience levels. This clinic is very good and Mark presented the MTB skills clinic very well. There was one person, Elise, maybe 60 years old, who just purchased her mountain bike the day before, had not rode bicycles in many, many years and by the end of the clinic was going over obstacles, how to turn, how to use the brakes, going up a relatively steep hill and down. This is a great clinic and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about mountain bike riding. Even experienced riders could learn something. I know I learned a lot. A last point about Mark, he was the editor of Mountain Biking Magazine for 7 years and has authored two books on mountain biking.

Here is the RWGPS route for this evening. It would be best to view this in satellite view. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1071688 Any questions you have contact me by email or phone.
