Sunday Social Ride

by dpssmith＠aol.com

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday, July 1 - 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. See you there, Dale After ride socializing - Natural Cafe' Restaurant - Patio and/or front grassy courtyard area. Many options at this location for beverage and food establishments.　 Note: 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 Blvd. (between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the shops or market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants we could be asked to park elsewhere

by Kent Koral

Where: We will be back at the same spot as in years past at Oak Canyon Park. 5600 Hollytree Dr., Oak Park (On Kanan just East of Lindero).

Members, feel free to bring your favorite side dishes to share (see below for side dish additional information). *** Please RSVP if you are planning on attending this event so that we may get an accurate count of guests.* *** We will need 2-3 volunteers to take care of the BBQing duties. Please contact me if you will take on this important task!* *Please note this is an exclusive invite to currently active CVC members and family only. If you are not a current CVC member and would like to join, * *you can do so now by following the below link:* https://www.bikereg.com/Net/14891 Additional Information: #1 You may wonder how many people to plan for in regards to the side dishes you will be bringing. Since we will have quite a large group, it would not be reasonable to plan to have a portion for everyone. If your side dish could feed 10 people, that would be adequate as we will have a lot of side dishes from our members to choose from. The club will buy meats to BBQ (Burgers, Chicken, Hot Dogs, etc). #2 NO alcohol is allowed on park property. #3 If you are a vegetarian or vegan, please let me know so items can be planned accordingly. #4 One more thing, you MUST have fun! There are some fun child (and adult) related parts of the park right by the Pavilion we have reserved. Play areas with playground equipment as well as a cool splash pad / water play area.
