Hey MTB'rs, This Tuesday we are riding Sycamore Canyon. Meet at Wendy and Portrero. I wont make it out for the ride on Tuesday but I will most likely ride Thursday with the CV mtb guys at Wildwood (end of Arboles at 6PM). Most of our rides are approximately 10 miles and last under 2 hours. The Tuesday MTB night ride is a intermediate paced ride. lets stay together and have a fun safe time. Be sure to have a light capable of lighting a dark trail and lasting at least 2.5 hours and bring a spare tube & pump at a minimum. See you out there. Kent Koral CVC Ride Director 818-802-0826
