This ride is officially back on. I will be there. I apologize for dithering; life gets complicated sometimes. WUnderground forecasts temperature in the 70's with 63% humidity and a wind speed of 12mph when we start.

What: CVC GO Thursday Ride @ 5:30 p.m.

When: Thursday July 17, 2014

Route: North Ranch #3 * 

DISTANCE: 23 miles. PACE: This is an intermediate level ride. The group includes mixed paces averaging 13 - 15+ mph.

NO DROPS: The leader will sweep behind the group or wait ahead at strategic points/turns along the route, as needed, so nobody gets left behind. Faster riders who are familiar with the course and who prefer to ride ahead are encouraged to do so; they need not wait at regroup points.

DIRECTIONS TO RIDE START: Triunfo Canyon Rd. in Westlake Village, just west of the dam, Westlake Tennis Club and Westlake Lake Management building. From the 101 Freeway, take Lindero Canyon south until it ends at Triunfo. Go right on Triunfo a couple hundred yards. You will see a grassy area. Park along the curb.

 * This is a new route with several quiet residential detours off of Westlake Blvd and then Kanan. Although the leader has ridden it a couple times, she has not memorized all the turns yet so she is bringing a cue sheet. Faster riders may prefer to skip the residential detours, bring a cue sheet, or download the route data to their devices, if applicable.
