Three Lakes Tour

This ride skirts the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains and provides a grand tour of three local lakes. First is Malibou Lake offering a bucolic setting of what was once a remote escape from the metropolis. Next is Westlake with its well developed shoreline. And finally is Lake Sherwood, created for but never used by Errol Flynn's movie Robin Hood. You might even see a peacock at Peter Strauss Ranch.

There is an alternative near the end of the ride to continue into Thousand Oaks newest development, Dos Vientos, by going straight rather than turning at Wendy Dr. Restrooms and water are available at both Juan Bautista Park and Peter Strauss Ranch. Water is available at the Lake Sherwood fire station. For all of these regroup stops, the stop is just before the intersection.

This route is one of harder of the Intermediate Recreational routes bordering on Advanced Recreational. This is due to the length of the ride (50 miles) and the hills along Mulholland.

Start at the Bank of America parking lot.
