Sunday August 25th G.O. Ride
by dpssmith＠aol.com 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hi CVC Members and Guests, Our revised G.O. Ride formerly called the Sunday Social Ride is typically 35 to 40 miles long with 2,200 to 4,200 feet of climbing and an average speed of 13 to 15 mph. As usual, we will meet at the Citibank parking lot and have our pre-ride announcements promptly at 9:00 AM then splitting into our groups and departing. This Sunday's Ride is the Chatsworth Reservoir Loop about 43 miles and 2250 feet of climbing. Here is the GPS Link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/956667 At the ride start we will announce the regroup locations but as a best practice unless you are following the ride leader it's best have a route sheet and know where the ride is going. Should you decide to deviate the ride course please notify the ride leader to prevent unnecessary or lengthily wait times at regrouping locations. This is a "drop ride" meaning that if you can't keep up with the group, and/or catch up within the requisite 5 min. re-group times - you are "on your own" to know the route from previous knowledge or by following the route slip. It is possible and/or probable that members can assist others with mechanical & other rider emergencies along the route however. Our re-group spots are meant to allow a short break & a chance for riders to catch up so that the group can ride together as much as is possible. CVC Club Rides Safety Requirements: Approved Helmets must always be worn Obey all traffic laws Where provided, ride in the bike lane Ride to the right, Pass on the left Ride 2 abreast only where it is safe to do so; Single file where it is not Ride predictably - be mindful of riders behind you - avoid rapid changes in movement Point-out hazards & approaching situations to riders behind you Indicate your intentions verbally ( "Shifting", "Standing", " Right Turn", etc. ) At an intersection with a right turn traffic lane - don't block the turn lane Avoid passing other riders on down-hills.

Its CVC BBQ Time- Sunday 9-15-2013 1PM
by Kent Koral 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

*Conejo Valley Cyclists 4th Annual Summer BBQ * *When: Sunday, Sept 15th from 1pm until 5pm.* *Where: At our new **picnic** location at the Conejo Creek North Park at the Creekside Pavillion. **1379 W Janss Road. Thousand Oaks, CA 9136* *The club will buy meats to BBQ (Burgers, Chicken, Hot Dogs, etc) and supply drinks. Members, Please bring your favorite side dishes to share (see below for side dish additional information).* ***Please RSVP if you are planning on attending and how many in your party. Also let me know what side dish you are bringing.* *** We will need 2-3 volunteers to take care of the BBQing duties. Please contact me to help with this important task!* *Please note this is an exclusive invite to currently active CVC members and family only. If you are not a current CVC member and would like to join, **you can do so now by following the below link: **https://www.bikereg.com/Net/17847* Additional Information: #1 You may wonder how many people to plan for in regards to the side dishes you will be bringing. Since we will have quite a large group, it would not be reasonable to plan to have a portion for everyone. If your side dish could feed 8-10 people, that would be adequate, as we will have a lot of side dishes from our members to choose from. The club will buy meats to BBQ (Burgers, Chicken, Hot Dogs, etc) and supply drinks. #3 If you are a vegetarian or vegan, please let me know so items can be planned accordingly. #4 One more thing, you MUST have fun! There are some fun child (and adult) related parts of the park right by the Pavilion we have reserved. Play areas with playground equipment, volleyball courts and a great creek feature. Any other questions, please reply to me directly. Looking forward to seeing everyone!!! * Kent Koral President Conejo Valley Cyclists*
