CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday, August 26 9:00am
Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner)

This weeks Route: Hidden Valley Backwards (Optional Dos Vientos Extension)

We'll make our way to Agoura road and head west via Willow road to Old Conejo School road. Left on Thousand Oaks and Left on Rancho to Hallard Dr. beyond the surgical center and over to Moorpark Rd. At the south end of Moorpark Rd. we'll catch the Multi Use Path behind the Los Robles Golf Course continuing on Lynn Rd. to Reino Drive. ( Optional Dos Vientos extension splits here.) We find our way to Portrero Rd. up Treasure Hill and thru Hidden Valley around the lake counterclockwise and back to the start.

Come out and join us for a social paced ride (14 Mph Avg. Speed). Approximately 30 miles and then stay a while to socialize afterwards by having an after-ride beverage and snack.

After ride socializing - Natural Cafe' Restaurant - Patio and/or front grassy courtyard area. Many options at this location for beverage and food establishments.

Even though we are attempting to offer our coolest ride routes during high heat days, some considerations and situations that you should be aware of
for riding in high heat in our area:
1) Stay hydrated and be aware to keep your electrolites balanced
2) Road surface conditions: asphalt tar & repair drips become semi liquid and especially slippery
example: descending Decker/Westlake has multiple places where asphalt cracks have been sealed with tar
Try to ride over them minimizing tire contact
3) Goat head thorns have returned and caused six flats on this past week's Orange ride
Carry and extra tube or two - and even a patch kit for flat repairs
4) Be aware of other riders signs of heat exhaustion and offer assistance as applicable

Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Blvd. (between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the shops or market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants we could be asked to park elsewhere.

See you there,

Dale
