Our Purpose:
Camaraderie and friendship are a main goal while at the same time
providing excellent exercise and less use of our cars. We provide good
bicycle rides starting in the Oak View/Ojai area with no need for a car
to reach the starting point. [In the hot summer days we may start and
complete the ride near the cool ocean!]
To Join
US: If
you can ride 25 miles at an average pace of about 13 mph or higher, you
can probably ride comfortably with us. For slower riders, see the "Rear
Brigade" page. Our normal starting points are from Oak View
and Ojai. These are shown on the map
on this link. In the summertime when it
is hot in Ojai we go cycling near the ocean from different starting
points. If you wish to receive more information or to be on our E-mail
list, please get in touch with the webmaster
on this
link. All rides are described on
this page
in detail. If you have any questions or concerns please send your
questions to
this email address.
On the regular rides we take three
short rest stops on the ride: one by Lake Casitas, another in Foster
Park and the last at Camp Comfort. All stops have a bathroom and
drinking water. This road route combines uphill, downhill and flat roads
to provide excellent exercise and beautiful scenery. At each of the
three rest stops the lead riders of each group usually wait for the
slower riders of the group to arrive before continuing the ride.
