2007 Ojai Cycling Weekend (click for full size photo)

Join your fellow La Grangers for a weekend of cycling, great food and fun in the spectacular Ojai Valley. The main event is the Ojai Valley Century on Saturday, May 31, which also offers a metric century and double metric option. We all stay at the fab Ojai Capri Motel, which offers two pools, a jacuzzi, plasma tv’s and iPod docking station in every room, and spacious lawns with a gorgeous view of the mountains.

Contact Susan Gans at susangans@sbcglobal.net regarding hotel room rates and availability. Two night (Friday and Saturday) stay required.

Weekend events include an Italian carbo-loading feast Friday night, post-ride pool party with music and margaritas, our very own massage therapists, a private yoga/stretch class on the hotel lawn, a catered barbeque Saturday night, 'cool down' ride to Lake Casitas and back to town for coffee Sunday morning, and wine tasting and picnic lunch at Ojai's charming Oak Creek Ranch Winery on Sunday. Kids are welcome, so bring the whole family! Advance reservation and payment required for party and meals. There are many activities for kids and non-riders to do while you’re out riding.

Don't delay -- a lot of the rooms are already booked by returning La Grangers.

Weather: No guarantees, but June in Ojai is usually lovely. It's inland in a sheltered valley, so it's often sunny there when L.A. is shrouded in "June gloom."

Disclaimer: This is not an "official" La Grange event. Ride and participate at your own risk. A helmet is required on all rides, and you should (of course) have medical insurance.
