And our Social ride is headed for Hidden Valley and Carlisle Canyon. Starting next weekend, we will be adding a Purple/Social ride for newcomers, and give us another cruise option for the weekend. Bring friends and family. Look for more info soon, or drop me an email. We've also got midweek rides Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, including the Rock Store race ride Tuesday night, cruise rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings, the Wednesday Pub Ride (last one this week!!), and mountain biking on Thursday afternoons. All the local construction seems to be complete but keep an eye out for uneven surfaces (esp at crosswalks like Lakeview and Agoura Road). Always warn riders behind you of anything in the bike lanes! You are their eyes when you are on the front.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!
