Starting Time & Location: Unless otherwise noted, all SFVBC rides start from the CSUN (California State University Northridge) campus Parking Lot “B1” at the northwest corner of Nordhoff Street and Etiwanda Avenue promptly at 8:00 AM. Park "offsite" and ride over to avoid the $4 parking fee (there is always ample parking on Nordhoff at that time).

Monday Rides
Sometimes riding once or even twice weekly isn't enough. For those who want to put in an additional day in the saddle, the Monday ride may be just the thing for you.
There's always a rest stop featuring coffee and pastries. Fast riders leave at 8:30, intermediate and slower groups at 8:15, except intermediate riders start at 7:30 in the summer. The usual rest stop is the Corner Bakery in Simi Town Center, although the fast and slow groups sometimes ride to It’s A Grind in Moorpark.
The ability to go over Santa Susana Pass (twice) is a must. Route slips shown above are only rough guides (inquire at start).
Wednesday Rides
 |
| Wednesday ne'er-do-wells taking up patio space at Champagne French Bakery in Westlake. |
The Club has an increasing number of ne'er do wells, retirees, hooky-players, and, well, bums, who are available for rides on days other than weekends. If you're available for a fun ride of 30 to 50 miles, the
Wednesday ride may be just for you. The fast and slower groups leave Chick's Chicken at 23355 Mulholland Drive, in the mall south of Avenue San Luis, at 8:30 and 8:15 am, respectively. The intermediate group leaves from Albertsons at Agoura Road and Las Virgenes at 8 am, 7:30 in summer, most riding through Hidden Valley. The destination for all is Westlake. The fast group usually returns via Mulholland Highway, and some ride sometimes over the hill to the beach and back.
Return is around noon, depending on mileage and how many goodies you consume at the Corner Bakery or the Champagne French Bakery in Westlake. The routes may vary from the route slips shown above (inquire at start).
