THURSDAY NIGHT! THIS Thursday will be a very special pub ride night. Why? 1. Because it will be led by Lisa Gutman 2. Because it is Tex William's Birthday and we all need to toast to that for sure! 3. Because ALL summer pub rides are special! Please join the crew at StoneHouse in Westlake. Leaving from the front parking lot at 5:30. Allow a little time for parking. Lisa will lead the group around the lake and up through Hidden Valley. Those ahead can do a Treasure Hill Climb and right turn on Hidden Valley Road to the end. If you want to skip the climb, just go left on Hidden Valley Road for the regroup. If you can't make the ride, come for the celebration! If you can't stay for the celebration, enjoy the ride! AND.. hopefully you can do both!
