I just looked at the calender and realized we will be celebrating Thanksgiving in 8 days. And if you have been around for any amount of time, you know what that means... (drum roll please and cue booming voiced announcer) *The Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Day Ride!* That's right, here at the CVC you have to earn the right to plow through all that Thanksgiving culinary bliss. And a nice, social paced, pre-chow ride is just the ticket. So, start working on those excuses to family, friends,visitors and loved ones as to why you will not be around on Thursday morning due to a need to ride your bike. Some of my personal favorites are: "But honey, If I ride, I'll be able to have a second helping of that vile, green, gelatinous desert substance that your mother always brings to dinner" or the the ever popular " You know riding puts me in a great mood, and helps me smile through Uncle Bob's riveting tales of glory as a professional broom ball player". So mark your calenders for the morning of 11/24 and look for your CVC Ride Committee's formal announcement with start time and route in a few days. See you on the road and trail!

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday November 20th - 9:00am

17 Nov '11

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday November 20th - 9:00am Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) Hidden Valley / Green Meadow MUP Route Come out and join us for a social paced recovery ride (14 Mph Average Speed/Pace). 30 miles maximum and stay a while to socialize afterwards by having an after-ride beverage and snack. Please remember this is a social paced recovery ride and while that may mean slightly different paces for different people, I attempt to keep the group together as a whole on these rides. The theory is to recover from our Saturday training rides and socialize. Off we will go through Hidden Valley and climb up the hill to Treasure Hill Ranch. A quick descent to a right on Reino Drive where we then take Lynn Road to Green Meadow Drive and cut though the well hidden Multi Use Path behind the Los Robles Golf Course which runs us out on to Moorpark Road. Down Moorpark Road and up our new favorite hill, Las Padres Drive which connects un into the surgical center on Halland Drive which parallels the 101 FWY to Rancho Road. From there up Rancho Road to La Granada Drive where it connects to Conejo School Road. Down Conejo School Road through a few more lightly traveled residential streets and back. After ride socializing - Natural Cafe' Restaurant - Patio and/or front grassy courtyard area. Many options at this location for beverage and food establishments.　 ** Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride ------ Adam Winer socialride(a)cvcbike.org
