21 Sep '11

Hi Everyone, This week is our end of the summer Elks BBQ Ride (see my post from yesterday) so we will be riding somewhat shorter route to get everyone back for the BBQ. The Orange ride will be riding Rockstore/Upper Encinal/HV out&back. 35 miles and 3000'. For a detailed map and route slip, got to: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/726945 As usual, we will meet at the Citibank parking lot and have our pre-ride announcements promptly at 8:30AM prior to splitting into our groups and departing. The Orange ride is an intermediate/advanced recreational ride 40 to 50 miles in length with an average pace of 15+mph. It is not a "no drop ride" but as always let's try to stick together and have a fun,safe ride. 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. Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Bl.(between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the Shops/Market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants, we could be asked to park elsewhere. See you Soon, Kent Koral CVC Ride Director (818) 802-0826

CVC Elks BBQ Saturday 9-24-11
by Kent Koral 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Its Elks BBQ Ride time again!! Saturday 9/24/11 after the rides. Hey Gang, This Saturday we will be having our end of summer Elks BBQ ride. We ride, then we eat. The ride leaders will be posting routes that will get us back into the parking lot around 11:00am so we can beat the rush. For those that are new to the Elks BBQ it is on Conejo School Road between T.O Blvd and Hillcrest. There is plenty of parking so most of us drive over. Remember that although the Elks take credit/debit cards, they prefer cash for payment. I have also attached a picture of the menu so that you have an idea of what can be purchased. Come on out and join your club-mates for a fun time! Cant hardly wait. (I think I'm drooling) Kent Koral CVC Ride Director 818-802-0826
