Hi All Looks like we're going to have perfect weather for this Sat.'s local and Santa Barbara's rides. For those that are planning on riding either of the two Santa Barbara Away Rides: 1) The Gibralter Loop from Tucker's Grove Park ( Jim Doane : Leader) 2) The standard Santa Barbara Away ride from Stearn's Wharf & Cabrillo Blvd. ( Scott F. & Beth McE. : Leaders) Maybe some others too who are familiar with riding this route previously with us? Would you please email back to me (click "reply" NOT "reply all") So that I can get an idea of who's planning on riding where Thanks Jim Doane

CVC News-changes to your CVC Board of Directors
by Kent Koral 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hi CVC'rs, Last weekend we had our CVC Holiday mixer at Bellinis and we had a nice turnout. I want to again thank Sheila Sherwyn for organizing the soiree for us. During the party, we made a few announcements regarding the make-up of the CVC Board and other committees. For starters, I will be stepping down as your President as of Dec 31st. I have loved being of service to the club as President the last 2 years and working with everyone to try and make this the best cycling club around. Stepping down is particularly easy for me since I know that Henry Montalvo will be stepping in right behind me as your new CVC President! I am very confident that Henry will do a spectacular job at the helm, and bring his usual high level of energy and effort to the post. I will continue to be on the Board of Directors as Cruisin' the Conejo co-director with Lee Cole (who will be leaving his post as Cruisin' Director after the 2014 edition so he can more focus on the moto road-race team he and his son have formed) . Other changes to the board will be that we are happy to welcome Sheri Leiken, who will fill Henry Montalvo's vacated position as Membership Director. Caitlin Steel will continue as Treasurer (and continue her attempt to keep me and Henry in line with varying levels of success), and Alison Amagasu as Public Relations/Social Media Director (stoked to have her as the digital face of the club). We will be filling the vacant Secretary board position early next year and we are still needing to fill the ride director board position. We also have some new committee chair people coming on board. Bruce Fleck will be our new Website Committee Chairperson. He is going to help us get our website running and working the way we want it to. We still would like to add a Charity Committee Chairperson to help with our charitable contributions. Please contact the board if you would like to be involved. Again, Thank you for allowing me to be involved in such a great organization!! Sincerely, Kent Koral President (for now) Conejo Valley Cyclists (818) 802-0826

CVC December Away Ride: Dec 14th, 2013
by James Doane 07 Dec '13

07 Dec '13

Hi All: The CVC December Away Ride is next Sat. the 14th Santa Barbara - Tucker's Grove Park ( start & finish ) - Foothilll Rd.- Gibralter Rd.- E. Camino Cielo - Painted Cave -San Marcos-Foothill Rd. 9:00am Tucker's Grove Park, Santa Barbara, CA ( parking, water & bathrooms) - Turnpike Rd. & Cathedral Oaks Rd. (Turnpike exit off #101 drive N to Cathedral Oaks) Foothill Rd.-Gibralter Rd.-E. Camino Cielo -Painted Cave-San Marcos Rd.-Foothill Rd. 45.1 miles 8,491' climbing ( as per RWGPS which is usually overstated ) For a detailed Ride with GPS route slip & course map: Here is the RWGPS link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3760583 I realize that this is an advanced Away Ride but this has been on our list since I announced all the Away Rides at the beginning of 2013 and the long range weather forecast looks good for next Sat. The views along the top of Gibralter & Camino Cielo ( out and back) are spectacular on a clear day. Lack of available water stops is an issue but can be remedied by bringing extra water bottles/camelback For an alternative Away Ride: If there is interest & a club leader volunteer for the "standard" Santa Barbara Away Ride that ride can be scheduled and announced for next Saturday too. This ride is 48 miles and approx. 3,000 ' climbing This route is on our club's Ride with GPS - I can send out particulars if there is enough member interest. Jim Doane - CVC

Sat. CVC Red Ride
by James Doane 07 Dec '13

07 Dec '13

Hi All 7:35 am Westlake weather conditions: Wet & 40 degrees ( only went up 2 degrees in an hour) 40-50% light rain showers forecasted for rest of daylight hours I agree with Bill that according to club policy ( wet roads) we are cancelling the Sat. club rides. My previous idea for a 1:00pm ride doesn't look any more promising for dry conditions. I'll keep my bike clothes dry hoping for a drier day tomorrow. Jim Doane - CVC Red Ride Captain
