It’s time to start ramping up our distance as we prepare for the Resilience Ride! This training ride takes us through the western half of the San Fernando Valley on a protected bike path before climbing over Santa Susana Pass and descending into Simi Valley. We’ll make our way back via Thousand Oaks, Westlake, and Calabasas. This is an intermediate ride that requires some prior training—but if you’ve conquered GMR and Latigo over the past two weeks, this one will be a breeze!
