May 30 - Masochist's Mirth To Mountainous Mulholland - A #5 rated ride that's being held for the first time in a few years.
June 7 - Mountain Bike Ride - Join in for an all dirt road MTB ride to the old Nike Missile Base that overlooks the Valley. After stopping at Nike
we'll have a longer option of Sullivan Canyon. No dropped riders.
June 13 - LA Wheelmen Grad Tour Trainer - Details at http://www.lawheelmen.org and elsewhere on this page.
July 11 - Beauty And The Beast - This ride climbs Fernwood Pacific, a local test piece. Fernwood climbs about 1700 feet in 5 miles. Give it a try!
July 18 - Decker Descent - A favorite. Ride beautiful Mulholland Highway before descending into Westlake.
July 25 - Tour Of Two Topanga Tops - This fairly short #3 rated ride climbs both new and old Topanga.
Grand Tour Trainers - The LAWheelmen put on The Grand Tour 200K, 200m, 300m and 400m rides Saturday, June 27. With a start in Malibu, the Double Century routes are very popular and a great way to try a Double Century. The 200m Lowland has very little climbing. They also hold a series of training rides.
In my view the best trainer is being held Saturday June 13. It's the Angeles Crest-San Gabriel Canyon ride. See their web site for a full description. It's hard to describe how big San Gabriel Canyon is. It ends with 30 miles of mostly downhill! I've done this ride three times and will be out again in June.
