Come on out and join CVC on June 6th for the Malibou Lake Ride. PLEASE READ THIS: Our ride is a bit longer this week, so we will need to stay on a 14+ pace. Anyone who has doubts about maintaining this pace is encouraged to take the shorter Malibou Lake route via Cornell or do laps around the lake. This week’s approach to Malibou Lake will be a little different. We will ride past Cornell to turn right on Malibu Hills Rd. Please see the route slip for details. If you are not familiar with the route, please review and/or bring a copy of the route slip with you. The Ride starts at 5:30 p.m. ROUTE: Malibou Lake via Las Virgenes DISTANCE: 25 miles. PACE: This is an intermediate level ride that includes both Gold and Orange paces averaging 14+/15+ mph. NO DROPS: Your leader will either wait ahead at strategic points/turns along the route or sweep behind the group, 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 (tennis) Club and little yacht club 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 where we PICNIC after the ride. Park along the curb. PICNIC: If a quorum is present, the Post-Ride Picnic will begin around 7:15 p.m. Please bring something to share: cheese, crackers, fruit, olives, pretzels, cookies, whatever; a beverage and something to drink it out of if you don't want to drink it out of the bottle; something to sit on and a warm jacket. Bring your friends, neighbors, relatives, significant others, etc. QUESTIONS: Email or call Sherrie at hatoolah@msn.com / 908.432.3480. SAFETY NOTES: 1. A helmet is mandatory. I.D., water or sports drink, a snack, spare tube(s), CO2 cartridges or hand pump, patch kit, cell phone are recommended. 2. Please do not call out "clear" at intersections. The intersection may not be clear for the rider(s) behind you. 3. If you start with the group but decide to cut the ride short or take a different route, please let me know at a regroup stop or leave me a message (cell: 908.432.3480). CVC 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. Addendum: Round-the-lakers can start at any time and join us for the picnic around 7:15 p.m. (see picnic note above). Regards, Sherrie Felton
