Jim Doane- CVC Red Ride Captain
CVC Tuesday evening novice and intermediate MTB ride. I'll call it
Easy/Moderate.
Meet in the parking lot found at the *Main Park Entrance* on Cheeseboro
Canyon North of Driver Ave.
Here is a map of the area.
http://www.nps.gov/samo/planyourvisit/upload/Cheeseboro-PaloComado8-09.pdf
Start time is 6:00pm
Last week there was a request to do this trail as it offers an easy,
relatively flat fire road for riders who are either new to mountain biking
or just getting back into it. This is a great opportunity to see if this
sport might be for you. James will be there to take other riders for a more
challenging, moderate ride. He will decide the route when we are there. You
do not need a fully suspended mountain bike or any particular mountain
biking skills.
My plan is to offer an Easy bike ride the last Tuesday of every month which
will serve as an Intro to Mtn Biking. The rest of the month my group will
be doing more moderate to strenuous rides.
After the ride we can go for some food and refreshments.
Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you there!

Hi Purple Riders,
This week we will be riding around the lake to Potrero through Hidden Vallet and
back and stopping as needed. Water and restroom at Fire Station 33.. This ride
will be making frequent regroups and is a no drop ride; however, please inform
the ride leader if you are not planning on riding the entire route. Be sure to
print out a route slip if you are unfamiliar with the area. The ride is 16.8
miles with 988 ft. of climbing.
Here is the link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1216415
Regroup:
Regroups will be frequently and stopping at Fire Station 33.
This ride No one gets dropped or left behind
To see Frequently Asked Questions regarding the Purple Ride, click here:
http://www.cvcbike.org/?p=3127
The Purple ride is a beginner club ride with a 12-14 mph average pace but is
open to all levels. No one gets dropped and no one is left behind. Please make
sure to wear the appropriate riding attire. Please check your bike prior to
Saturday and make any necessary repairs.
Although the Purple ride is a "no drop" ride, for the enjoyment and safety of
the participants, we will try to keep a 12-14 MPH average.
If you feel you are not Purple ready, but want to work up to the Purple level,
please contact the Ride Captain who will gladly give you some pointers and
advise. We strongly recommend that you come out and meet the riders! The best
stepping stone to grow into a Purple rider is to ride around Westlake! When you
can sweep those 5 flat miles at a steady 12 to 14 mph pace, and still feel ready
for more, then you will be able to handle many of the standard Purple routes.
Things you need for every ride:
* Helmet-Mandatory
* Water or Sports Drink
* I.D.
* Cell phone
* Spare tube
* CO2 cartridge or hand pump
* Patch kit
* Route slip
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.

Come on out and join CVC next Thursday August 2nd for the Malibu Lake Ride. Please see the
route slip for details. The Ride starts at 5:30 p.m.
Harlene Roen will be leading this ride as I will
be away. Thanks Harlene!
ROUTE: Malibu Lake +
optional Mulholland East extension
DISTANCE: 20-25 miles. PACE: This is an intermediate level ride that includes both Gold and Orange paces averaging 14+/15+ mph.
NO DROPS: I
wait for the slowest rider at strategic points along the route.
DIRECTIONS TO RIDE START: Triunfo
Canyon Rd. in Westlake Village, just west of the Dam (tennis) Club and little
yacht club building. From the 101 Freeway, take Lindero Canyon south until it
ends at Triunfo. Go right on Triunfo a couple hundred yards. You will see a
grassy area where we PICNIC after
the ride. Park along the curb.
PICNIC: If
a QUORUM is present,
the Post-Ride Picnic will begin around 7:15 p.m. Please
bring something to share: cheese crackers, fruit, olives, pretzels, cookies,
whatever; a beverage and something to drink it out of if you don't want to
drink it out of the bottle; something to sit on and a warm jacket. Bring your
friends, neighbors, relatives, significant others, etc.
QUESTIONS:
Email Harlene at harlene.roen(a)gmail.com
SAFETY NOTES: 1. A helmet is
mandatory. I.D., water or sports drink, a snack, spare tube(s), CO2 cartridges
or hand pump, patch kit, cell phone are recommended.2. Please do not call
out "clear" at intersections. The intersection may not be clear for
the rider(s) behind you.3. If you start with
the group but decide to cut the ride short or take a different route, please
let me know at a regroup stop or leave me a message (cell: 908-432-3480).4. Seasonal safety
issues:- Be prepared for
heat. Stay hydrated. Carry a sports drink or capsules to keep your electrolytes
in balance. Drink before you feel thirsty. Know the signs of heat exhaustion
and offer assistance if you see another rider exhibiting these signs.- The tar used to
repair asphalt roads can become semi-liquid and slippery on hot days. Example:
The Decker/Westlake descent has multiple places where asphalt cracks have been
sealed with tar. Use caution when riding over these areas in high heat.- Be prepared for
flats. The “Goat’s Head” thorn, a.k.a. “Puncture Vine” a.k.a. Tribulus Terrestris, has
returned to the roads we cycle on. Club rides are seeing an increase in flats
caused by these thorns. Carry an extra tube or two - and even a patch kit for
flat repairs.
CVC 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.
ADDENDUM: Round-the-lakers can start at any time and join us for
the picnic at 7:15 p.m. (see note about picnic quorum, above).
Regards,
Sherrie Felton
