CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday, June 9, 2013 9:00 am Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) Hi CVC club members and guests, Come out and join us for a social paced recovery ride (14 Mph Average Speed/Pace). 25-38 miles max. and stay a while to socialize afterwards by having an after-ride beverage and snack. We haven't ridden this in a while so lets try it this Sunday. This week we will go Norwegian Grade style with a Read Road Bypass return. Climbing Erbs to Arboles and up Westlake Blvd. Possible extensions thru North Ranch, Oak Park and Old Agoura. See you there! Dale Even though we are attempting to offer our coolest ride routes during high heat days, some considerations and situations that you should be aware of for riding in high heat in our area: 1) Stay hydrated and be aware to keep your electrolytes balanced 2) Road surface conditions: asphalt tar & repair drips become semi liquid and especially slippery example: descending Decker/Westlake has multiple places where asphalt cracks have been sealed with tar Try to ride over them minimizing tire contact 3) Goat head thorns have returned and caused six flats on this past week's Orange ride Carry and extra tube or two - and even a patch kit for flat repairs 4) Be aware of other riders signs of heat exhaustion and offer assistance as applicable After ride socializing - Natural Cafe' Restaurant - Patio and/or front grassy courtyard area. Many options at this location for beverage and food establishments. 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.

by Sherrie Felton 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Come on out and join CVC on June 6th for the Malibou Lake Ride. PLEASE READ THIS: Our ride is a bit longer this week, so we will need to stay on a 14+ pace. Anyone who has doubts about maintaining this pace is encouraged to take the shorter Malibou Lake route via Cornell or do laps around the lake. This week’s approach to Malibou Lake will be a little different. We will ride past Cornell to turn right on Malibu Hills Rd. Please see the route slip for details. If you are not familiar with the route, please review and/or bring a copy of the route slip with you. The Ride starts at 5:30 p.m. ROUTE: Malibou Lake via Las Virgenes DISTANCE: 25 miles. PACE: This is an intermediate level ride that includes both Gold and Orange paces averaging 14+/15+ mph. NO DROPS: Your leader will either 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 7:15 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 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. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride.
