Tuesday Evening Easy/Moderate MTB ride, Cheeseboro, 6:00pm start
by Joan Sauber 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

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!

Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) This Saturday, the Purple ridewill be riding around the lake to Potrero through Hidden Vallet and back 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.

Thursday August 2nd - Malibu Lake Ride (Start Westlake @ 5:30 pm)‏
by Sherrie Felton 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

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
