Hi everyone! Our Wednesday ride is taking off nicely! Please join by meeting us at the Landing Parking Lot, at the end of Lindero (almost) in the shopping center, by the first entrance. We are ready to ride at 3:45 for a ride up and quick pace back through Hidden Valley. Since this is an up and back, so you can turn around any time. The ride is about 22 miles, and we have a 15+ avg. It's all about that mid week stretch and a good time! Hope to see you come out and try! Any questions, let me know, Sheri ohsheri2005(a)sbcglobal.net

by Sherrie Felton 25 Sep '13

START TIME: 5:15 p.m. DISTANCE: 20-25 miles PACE: This is an intermediate level ride that includes both Gold and Orange paces averaging 14+/15+ mph. NO DROPS:A no drop ride means that the leader will 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. Park along the curb.
