*****
Announcement: We are transitioning the Weekend Endurance (WE) Rides to no longer use ride leaders for each pace group. Instead, a ride organizer will launch each ride with route tips and be available to answer any questions. We’ll continue to have different pace groups, but each will be self-directed. This format is very similar to our highly successful Club Supported Rides (but without the SAG support).
Please keep the following in mind when joining the WE Rides:
· Download the route prior to arrival.
· Be self-sufficient, prepared to handle flats and minor bike repairs.
· Carry a cell phone in case of emergency or to get that Uber ride needed every once in a while.

The cooler weather makes for great riding conditions in the Santa Monica mountains this time of year. The WE Ride will head there on Saturday to enjoy fantastic views, lots of climbing, rewarding descents, and great company! Please download the route as the group will likely get spread out given the climbing.
