CVC July Away Ride 7-13-13
by James Doane 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Hi All I just got some valuable input & advise of the dangerous construction condition on or near the bike path on the # 101 Frwy after Ventura which was a part of our Flat Century Away Ride for this Saturday. I've decided to consolidate and re-route our Away Ride to just ONE ROUTE with a turn around spot in Ventura making the overall away ride in the 55- 60 mile total range. I will send out the re-route RWGPS map and ride slip later this evening. Jim Doane - CVC

July Away Ride : Sat 7-13th
by James Doane 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi All: This Sat. is the 2nd Sat. of the month and is our club's traditional Away Ride Saturday. As previously announced - this month's Away Ride is: Flat Century: from Leo Carrillo to Carpenteria & back 9:00 am meeting at Leo Carrillo Campground entrance parking lot - park on PCH and ride under the tunnel of PCH to avoid campground parking fee meet at campground entrance parking lot. Jim D and Harlene R. will be the ride leaders I will have a RWGPS map & routeslip made up before the Saturday ride. This is a relatively flat (but longer) Away Ride with minimal climbing so we will plan on stopping several places along the way for snacks, drinks & restrooms similiar to what a charity ride would have as rest stops. I know some of you have ridden this route before with Harlene so I trust you must know of some convenient places to stop - I understand that the Subway sandwich shop in Carpenteria is a good lunch stop before we head back to Leo Carrillo. I would appreciate your RSVP to me ASAP so that I'll know ahead of time who's planning on riding with us. Hit "reply"....NOT... "reply all" to this email to indicate your participation. I will send out another email by Thurs. with further instructions and/or answers to your questions. Jim Doane - CVC
