The Red Ride will be heading out Hidden Valley, down to the coast via CSU, then up Deer Creek, down Yerba and back up over Mulholland. The Orange ride is heading south, up Cornell, over Muholland and up Stunt, then down Piuma and home direct from Cold Canyon and Muholland. The Gold ride is doing Moorpark and up Grimes Canyon before returning back over Read Road and Old Conejo. And the purple ride is doing a nice cruise out-n-back through Hidden Valley. On Sunday, we've got three rides going out. The G.O. Ride will roll through Moorpark, around the College and back through the West end of Simi Valley. The Social ride is doing a nice loop though Agoura up Reyes Adobe, Kanan and Fountainwood. And the new Mountain Bike/Gravel ride will start in Newbury Park and do some popular trails around Dos Vientos. We've also got midweek rides Tuesdays and Thursdays, including the Rock Store race ride Tuesday night, and destination rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings. As always, keep an eye out for debris in the lanes and warn riders behind you of everything in the bike lanes! You are their eyes when you are on the front - as well as in the pack. 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!

Do not park next to the homes. ADDITIONAL NOTES The Purple ride is considered a no drop. Having said that, please note that if you are falling behind or slower than the average pace, you may be dropped. All rides not asterisked are considered a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). If you get to a regrouping spot and no one is there, consider yourself dropped. As always, we will try to stick together and have a fun, safe ride. We will regroup regularly to allow everyone a chance to ride together. If for any reason you leave a group ride, please pass along the information to the ride leader. 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.
