November 50 for 50 Anniversary Ride
Marc Lewinstein created and led the route for the November 50 for 50 ride. The route ventured on PCH to Malibu Canyon, east on Mulholland, north on Cornell and south on Kanan Road. A quick left on Troutdale led the group back to the little town of Cornell, where SAG was provided. After munching on various goodies, the group rode east on Mulholland to 7 minute hill to Old Topanga, to Topanga, to PCH with a finish at Santa Monica Brew Works. It was a cold but refreshing day to ride.
