Saturday Red Riders - request
by James Doane 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi Saturday Red Riders: For those of you Red Riders who plan on riding with me on my previously announced route: Up Westlake-Down Mulholland and back up Yerba Buena. We would like to ask you to add a little extra riding mileage on PCH in the Westerly direction towards Magu Rock so that we can take a group picture to use for this year's Cruisin' the Conejo advertising purposes. It is suggested that you wear other than a club jersey or kit so that we more closely replicate non club riders riding our Cruisin' ride. Jim Doane - CVC Red Ride Captain
