What: CVC GO Thursday Ride @ 5:30 p.m.
When: Thursday July 3, 2014
Route: Malibou Lake
What Else: CVC First Thursday of the Month Picnic @ 7 p.m.
DISTANCE: 20 miles. PACE: This is an intermediate level ride. The group includes mixed paces averaging 13 - 15+ mph.
NO DROPS: The leader will sweep behind the group or wait ahead at strategic points/turns along the route, as needed, so nobody gets left behind. Faster riders who are familiar with the course and who prefer to ride ahead are encouraged to do so; they need not wait at regroup points.
DIRECTIONS TO RIDE & PICNIC START: Triunfo Canyon Rd. in Westlake Village, just west of the dam, Westlake Tennis Club and Westlake Lake Management building. From the 101 Freeway, take Lindero Canyon south until it ends at Triunfo. Go right on Triunfo a couple hundred yards. You will see a grassy area. Park along the curb.
PICNIC: Takes place the first Thursday of each month. All current and prospective club members and their guests are invited. I will bring crackers, cheese & cold bottled water; napkins and paper cups. Feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks to share as well. Bring a chair or a blanket to sit on and an extra layer for warmth, just in case.
