Midweek Easy Intermediate Ride: Pt Mugu State Park

Join us for an easy intermediate ride through beautiful Point Mugu State Park (http://www.venturacountytrails.org/TrailMaps/Sycamore/AreaTrails.htm)...

The plan is that we will ride the Wendy connector trail over to the Big Sycamore Fireroad, climb the mostly paved Ranch Center Road, coast down Wood Canyon Fireroad, then climb Guadalasca to the top. From there, we'll ride over to the top of the Wood Canyon Vista Trail section of the Backbone Trail and coast all the way to the bottom, then ride back up the main trail and return to the cars.

That's the plan. What we actually do will depend on the level of riders that turn out.

Directions (http://bit.ly/zg3ht2): From the 101 Freeway, take the Wendy Drive exit in Newbury Park. Drive south 3 miles to the trailhead and parking at Potrero Road.
