Here we will post local cycling news and links to ride schedules in other
areas...
Gold Coast Velo Club Rides
All rides start at 7:30 AM from the parking lot behind the corner of Oak and
Santa Clara Streets in Ventura. The Saturday ride is fast, 25mph+ on the flats and great for race
training. The Sunday rides are a bit more mellow, low 20's on the flats, more chatting,
and more regrouping. Winter rides feature a number of fixed gear riders so please be kind-
no all-out sprints! If you're not sure, come out on Sunday first before trying the
Saturday ride.
Oh, and by the way, wear a helmet, dummy!!
New Ride Schedule
For the learning impaired, a reminder that we have swapped the 4th and 5th Saturday
rides!
1st Sat: Carpenteria/Gobernador/Toro/Montecito and back (50 mi.).
2nd Sat: Foothill- Santa Paula/Ojai/Creek Rd/ Avenue (50 mi.).
3rd Sat: Rincon/Bates/Casitas Pass (40 mi.).
4th Sat: Santa Paula/ Ojai/ Casitas Pass- the DOUBLE loop (75mi).
5th Sat: Santa Paula/ South Mtn Rd/Grimes/ Balcolm Cyn/Foothill (65 mi.).
Sunday (all): Rincon to Bates; regroup and go with the flow.
Tuesday Night Crazies! 5PM Sharp!!!!
(starting with Daylight savings)
When there's enough light to ride after work, meet every Tuesday at
Mission Park in Ventura (Santa Clara St. near Ventura Ave.) for a fast ride up
the Avenue and around Lake Casitas to Carpenteria and back down the coast. When I say
fast, I mean fast- generally under two hours for the loop and the Old Coast
Highway section is usually in the high twenties!! Regroup points are at the Lake entrance
and again at Rincon, other than that it's take no prisoners.
