First Ever EVBC "Remote" Ride

The East Valley Bike Club headed to Albertson's parking lot @ Las Virgenes for the "Wednesday ride," this morning; conveniently ignoring the fact that its Saturday and that we were 20 miles WEST of the East Valley. At precisely 8:04,the EVBC first ever Remote Ride commenced with dues paying Club Members Gary,Daryl,Allan & Michele along with Dave A, Rich,Nancy & Birthday Boy Bruce. Late arrivals,(Zo & Michael) caught up with us at the Marriot Red Light - not hard too do,as the avg speed to that point was a blistering 12 MPH.

Overcast sky's and chilly temperatures didn't dampen the fun nor prevent the Happy Birthday Choir from singing off key for Bruce at the Corner Bakery, before climbing the hills of the North Ranch and Agoura Road to complete the Loop.



The Road Ahead -


Quick Re-group at Mile 12

Bruce is back in the saddle and celebrating his 29th Birthday again at Corner Bakery.


Michelle strikes her Popeye Pose as proof (to herself, that is) that she is a tough chick after completing a Century .. well, 42% of one.



"Stimulus Membership Plan" is working already!
Zo is all smiles after pledging his membership in EVBC with Founding Member Daryl. Zo was able to join the Club utilizing its Countrywide Methodology rating program: His Initiation fee was waived; 1 Year Monthly Dues Deferred (interest only) and just a simple, 'Yes, I work' statement.
