Thursday ride 9:00
by Sheri L 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

Hi All, As you know, we are riding up the coast tomorrow. Forecasted winds in the Thousand Oaks area are 31mph. Winds in Carpenteria-11 mph. So that is a no brainer! We will meet at Sea Cliff, at the start of the bike path. Our goal is not a killer ride, but a nice ride that stops at Red Kettle Coffee and turns back. Rest of route TBD. For those adding on, you can always pass the start on the way back, and do Rincon and back. Exit 101 freeway at SeaCliff, (after Ventura). Make a left off the freeway and follow the road until you see a sign that says beach parking. Make a left. You will go under the freeway bridge and then make a right. See you then. -- Sheri

11 Mar '24

Hi all! Tuesday morning we will meet at the Starbucks lot for a Hidden Valley route. It will be similar to the one we did a couple of weeks ago however we will be stopping at the Hidden Valley turn off and saying hello to the horses and then we will be on our way to Dos Vientos and back via Lynn, Greenmeadow without la Granada. Thursday the winds are supposed to be very intense, so we will be doing an away ride up the coast. Route will be coming your way soon. But now you can plan ahead for it! Sheri

Finish The Ride
by Sheri L 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

For any of those that are interested in *Finish The Ride,* I received this email this morning and thought this would be a cool way to ride the ride AND help out. My name is Jay and I'm the Ride Director for Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE) and the Finish the Ride events which are cycling events that happen twice a year in Griffith Park and Santa Clarita. Danny Stein and Damian let me know some of your riders might be interested in volunteer marshaling for our ride on Sunday April 7, 2024 in Griffith Park <https://www.streetsareforeveryone.org/finish-the-ride-griffith-park>. There are 5 routes including 12mi, 20mi, 35mi, and 50/62mi and we are in need of experiences cyclists to ride the route and help others in case they have any issues. (Bike mechanic knowledge is nice but not fully necessary, we are looking to ensure there is a strong marshal presence on the routes to report back to the start if there any any issues). Also Ride marshalls take part in the event for FREE If you think your organization would have any interest in helping, I can send more details or they can reach out to me directly at jay.epelman(a)gmail.com to sign up. Thanks and please let me know if you have any questions. - Jay Epelman 646-463-1675 SAFE, Finish the Ride -- Sheri
