On October 10th Los Padres Ski Club is planning an outing to ride bicycles in the CicLAvia event in downtown Los Angeles.  CicLAvia is an event where the CicLAvia organization arranges to close major city streets for one Sunday to allow bicycles, scooters, roller blades, skate boards, walkers and runners, basically any human powered propulsion to ride the city streets, see the neighborhoods and businesses without fear of traffic and enjoy the (hip, savvy, fun, insert adjective) citizens of our fair city in a healthy and fun activity. It’s about a 5 mile closure, so if you ride every length of it, then reverse course, it’s about 10 miles total.  People bring some amazing bicycles and human powered machines.  Everyone has a smile, there’s lots of kids participating.  You won’t feel crowded or rushed, it’s kind of like canoeing down a river.  When people spread out over 5 miles of city streets, there’s lots of room. We plan to meet at 11:00a.m. on the street.  See your email for a map and details on the meeting spot.

We plan to visit the Zoo at about 9:45 and then go to lunch in Santa Barbara. Details will follow.

Join us for a kayaking outing at the Channels Islands Harbor on Thursday, August 19, 2:30 – 4:00 pm. We will meet at the Channel Islands Kayak center to rent kayaks. If you have your own, you can bring it and meet us there.

Channel Island Kayak Center is at 3600 Harbor Boulevard, Oxanrd near Sea Fresh Restaurant. This link takes you to an YouTube video of the establishment: https://youtu.be/6Lbz_PIjAR0

After kayaking, we will meet for Happy Hour at Sea Fresh.

The Los Padres Ski and Social Club invites its members to the Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga Canyon Saturday, July 31 for the World Premiere of “The Last, Best Small Town.” Playwright John Guerra draws on his own personal history from Fillmore:

Two neighboring families — one Latine and one white — live in nearby Fillmore, the self-proclaimed “Last, Best Small Town in Southern California.” Set during the first decade of the 2000s, immediately following the financial crisis, the children of these families come of age, fall in love, suffer loss, and continually hunt for their place in a changed world that can no longer promise them a better life than their parents. Guerra’s play is a striking 21st Century response to Thornton Wilder’s Our Town.

Join us for opening night and a picnic in the Theatricum’s beautiful gardens before the show. Tickets are $27 each and need to be purchased by July 20 to secure seats together!

Join fellow LPSC members as we celebrate the 51st anniversary of Earth Day with a beach cleanup. Most organizations are hosting virtual events throughout April (now called Earth Month). But we will be traditionalists with our event on Thursday, April 22. We will gather at 11 AM at West 5th Street & Mandalay Beach Road, Oxnard, CA (across from Oxnard Shores Mobile Home Park). There is plenty of parking along the street. Lunch, for anyone interested, to follow in Channel Islands Harbor (bring something to eat or pick up something at a local restaurant – we plan to picnic so bring a sitting device if you want.)

We are planning this around the low tide schedule. Wear your LPSC t-shirt, bring comfortable shoes (or go barefoot), sun hat/sun screen, gloves, a bag for collecting trash, if you have it – a grabber, a chair or blanket for lunch time AND A MASK (we will follow the correct guidelines).

Because of high winds predicted on Thursday, we are cancelling this event.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 25 for a socially distanced ski club social event and general meeting.  The event will be in the lawn area west of the Pierpont Bay Yacht Club, between the parking lot and walkway.  Bocce Ball will start at 4:30pm and the meeting at about 5:00pm.  The club will provide sanitizing supplies for the Bocce Ball games and the keys to the nearby restroom; members will provide their own seating, beverages and snacks.  Per Covid requirements, living groups (bubbles) will need to sit at least 6 feet apart and wear masks.  As always, there may be drawings and prizes!  More details will follow closer to the date!
