Sonday Social Ride
by dpssmith＠aol.com 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Hi Fellow CVC members and guests, Please come out and join us for a local social paced ride (14 Mph Avg. Speed). Approximately 25-35 miles and then stay a while to socialize afterwards by having an after-ride beverage and snack. I am sorry I haven't created a ride link yet. Hopefully I can do it before it's posted again. The plan for this Sunday is to head North on Reyes Adobe, cut through the school which puts us on Lindero Cyn., where we will find our way to the Multi Use Path that meanders through Oak Canyon Park. >From there we can take the not too traveled residential side streets to work our way South which puts us at Chumash Park all without having to ride on Kanan. Once there we can choose the return route and/or extension (I.e. Agoura with a Carlisle Canyon loop, Thousand Oaks Blvd to Forrest Cove Park pass though or a Malibou Lake loop). This route uses lightly traveled roads that avoid the traffic of the major streets. After ride socializing - Natural Cafe' Restaurant - Patio and/or front grassy courtyard area. Many options at this location for beverage and food establishments. Things to have: Helmet !!! - Water to complete the ride or at least to reach the next water stop - Tools to perform minor repairs -Chain repair linkage - Inner-tube and pump (or the like) - Cellular phone - Food to replenish energy. See you there!! Dale 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.

CVC Hidden Valley Ride Today, 6/13 @ 5:30 PM
by Sherrie Felton 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Come on out and join CVC on June 13th for a ride out-and-back through Hidden Valley. The Ride starts at 5:30 p.m. PLEASE READ THIS: We will not take a left turn on Lake Sherwood on our way out, as making this turn at this time of day has become increasingly hazardous due to rush hour drivers attempting to circumvent a 101 bottleneck. Instead, we will stay straight on Potrero. The remainder of the ride is the same. ROUTE: Hidden Valley +Treasure Hill (Route Notes: From Triunfo, LT on Westlake Blvd to right turn onto Potrero. Remain on Potrero to top of Treasure Hill. U-turn (carefully) and ride back down Treasure Hill to make a right turn onto Hidden Valley Rd. At the Hidden Valley Rd. cul-de-sac, regroup. Hidden Valley Rd. back out to Potrero right turn and follow same route back. Once on Westlake Blvd, continue straight until RT onto Agoura, RT Lindero, RT Triunfo.) DISTANCE: 20-25 miles. PACE: This is an intermediate level ride that includes both Gold and Orange paces averaging 14+/15+ mph. NO DROPS:A no drop ride means that the leader will wait ahead at strategic points/turns along the route, or sweep behind the group as needed, so nobody gets left behind. Faster riders who are familiar with the course and who prefer to ride ahead are encouraged to do so; they need not wait at regroup points. 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 7:00 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 or call Sherrie at hatoolah(a)msn.com / 908.432.3480. 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). 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.
