CVC Tuesday Night Mountain Bike 11/1/11 6PM Backbone Trail-Kanan Rd
by Kent Koral 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Hey All, This week we are going to ride the Backbone Trail between Kanan Rd and Encinal . We will meet at the Trailhead parking lot just before the 3rd tunnel (the one closest to the beach) on Kanan Rd. I have hiked this trail a few times but have never ridden it. A nice track with a few nice climbs. Be ready for a 6:05PM ride start. Most of our rides are around 10 miles and last a bit under 2 hours. The Tuesday MTB night ride is a social paced, no drop ride so 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. After we ride we will hit Ladyface Brewery to aid in recovery. See you Tuesday night. Kent Koral CVC Ride Director 818-802-0826
