West Side Wednesday Night Ride

[0gravity]

That work thing getting in the way of your trail miles? We're looking for new faces for the Westside Wednesday night mountain bike ride (West LA). A small group of regulars meets at Cynergy Cycles on 25th and Santa Monica Blvd around quarter till 8:00 and rolls out on the hour for a quick-paced ride.

Rides are almost exclusively in the nearby Santa Monicas but sometimes elsewhere (Chesboro or Backbone sections in Malibu). Most of the rides are decided on the spot by 8:00 PM and usually involve variations off the nearby Sullivan Canyon, Sullivan Ridge, Westridge, Will Rogers/Backbone, etc, Caballero, Farmers, "the whoops" etc.

This is a fast ride. There's some socializing while riding up, some regrouping, but it's generally a consistent and demanding pace for about 1.5-2 hours, usually finishing with some fast downhills where the trailbikes really shine. For numbers, we've had as many as 20, as few four, but averaging around eight. Guys and gals both welcome, just be a moderately fit and capable rider.

Bring a decent bike, decent light/s (this is critical), basic tire change kit, and maybe a few bucks to have a beer or two afterwards at McCabes, near the original meeting spot in Santa Monica (optional, but we usually do it). Come check it out. -- 0gravity
