Even though we are attempting to offer our coolest ride routes during high heat days, some considerations and situations that you should be aware of
for riding in high heat in our area:
1) Stay hydrated and be aware to keep your electrolites balanced
2) Road surface conditions: asphalt tar & repair drips become semi liquid and especially slippery
example: descending Decker/Westlake has multiple places where asphalt cracks have been sealed with tar
Try to ride over them minimizing tire contact
3) Goat head thorns have returned and caused six flats on this past week's Orange ride
Carry and extra tube or two - and even a patch kit for flat repairs
4) Be aware of other riders signs of heat exhaustion and offer assistance as applicable
e. Then head East down Mulholland Hwy towards Las Virgenes where we will return via Agoura Road. Several optional return routes are available depending on what everyone feels like.
After ride socializing - Natural Cafe' Restaurant - Patio and/or front grassy courtyard area. Many options at this location for beverage and food establishments.
Note: 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.
Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Blvd. (between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the shops or market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants we could be asked to park elsewhere
