Hello Everybody,

The Wednesday-Rides with JD Kitty and Matthias are back!
For this year we made some changes based on feedback from all the participating riders in 2009:
- Roll Off time is now 6:00pm
- We will have 2 groups with 2 different routes:
Beginner Level ... this is truely for beginners, so the pace is very slow and we will stop here and there and do some clinics to improve your skills.
Experienced Level .... you should have a least half a season of mtb riding under your belt ! We still ride as a group, so nobody is left behind but we will ride more technical tracks and less stops for a break to rest.
- These Wednesday Rides will be also a joint event with the trails angels (http://trailangels.homestead.com/) and the Rock N\' Road Divas (http://www.rocknroadcyclery.net/divas.php)

What has not changed:
- We will always post monday early morning on www.teamvelosport.com where the next ride is going to be. Driving Directions, Descriptions of the routes and average riding time included.
- Every week is going to be a different venue and course ( Aliso Creek, Blackstar, El Moro, Peters Canyon, O\'Neil, Whiting .... )
- In both groups we will have experienced racers as control riders, who will be more than happy to answer any questions you have regarding gear or riding techniques.
- And most important LOT\'S OF FUN and a chance to meet other fellow mountain bikers.

Little sneak peek for our first ride 02/24:
We are going to ride Blackstar and lights are going to be mandatory. This will be a great to learn riding after sunset !!!!
Easy fire roads all the way up: Beginner group will ride about 40min up and then back down to the starting point, while the experienced guys will go up all the way to peeks/gate/giant white fussball or whatever you like to call it .... )

The main theme has not changed, that we want to focus on beginners and show everyone all the fun riding opportunities in orange county. On the other hand we do not want to loose all the riders from last year, many have become close friends or started mountain bike racing.

So EVERYONE is welcome and if you have more questions just send us an email: matthias@teamvelosport.com

See you soon at a trail !
