Hi Gold Riders,
There needs to be a change in the Ride for Saturday. I received an email last night late that the Rock Store climb may be closed. Drove up the Rock Store climb this morning on the way to work. It is being worked on and subject to all traffic being stopped at random times during the day. There is no info on whether this is only for today or when it stops. Searched Cal Trans, CHP, LA and Ventura Counties for info but found none on what is going on. There are signs out at the bottom and top stating "Road work ahead" and "Be prepared to stop".
Cornell is also being worked on today. Almost all of Cornell is closing one lane or the other with all traffic being escorted. This was from the drive this morning while checking out the Rock Store climb.
With all this lets change the ride to Seven Minute Hill.
**CVC Saturday Gold Ride, June 18, 8:30am ** ***Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) *****Seven Minute Hill CCW. 32 miles, 2,700' climbing. ** Basic Route: Agoura Rd to Jaun Bautista Park, Las Virgenes to Mulholland, Old Topanga to Park Granada, Mureau Road to Agoura Rd and back to the finish.
Here is the RideWithGPS link where you can view the route, print out a map and cue sheet: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/271252
The Gold ride is an intermediate recreational ride, 30 to 40 miles in length with an average pace of 14+ mph. It is not a "no drop" ride but as always let's try to stick together as much as possible.
Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Bl.(between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the Shops/Market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants, we could be asked to park elsewhere.
After the ride, please join us at one of the many refueling options available at the finish such as Natural Cafe', Sea Casa, East Coast Bagel, Sprouts Market, etc..
/Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride./
See you Saturday!
