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*

CVC ORANGE Away Ride : Ventura-Santa Paula
by James Doane 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hi All :After getting good suggestions about simplifying the Orange Ride route ( thanks Dennis) for this Sat.'s ORANGE Away Ride : Ventura-Ojai-Santa Paula -Ventura(It's more straightforward route-wise & less climbing too) I RE-drew the Orange route on RWGPS eliminating the residential streets in Oak View - which were confusing and easy to miss ( like the Cool Breeze was a couple years ago) So here is the CORRECTED ORANGE RIDE route : http://ridewithgps.com/routes/334180349.6 miles2334' climbing ( realistically 20% less as RWGPS is always high) Please look at it and print the route slip for use on Sat.Could be considered a GOLD Ride too ? Just by riding a little slower avg. speed? - as it fits in our club Gold Ride definition as to mileage & overall climbing feet Most significant climb is Dennison Grade: on route #150 east of Ojai - maybe is 1/2 of our Rock Store climb?Headwind can be a factor to returning from Santa Paula to Ventura though Another comparison between this Sat.'s Away ride routes: Sat.'s RED Ride version adds : Thatcher Rd. climb and Foothill Rd. rollers after Santa Paula ( a few extra miles and climbing feet) See you 8:30am at Mission Park parking lot in VenturaJim Doane : CVC

Hi CVC Members and Guests, Our revised G.O. Ride formerly called the Sunday Social Ride is typically 35 to 45 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 Sundays G.O. Ride is as follows: Route: Westlake to Arboles left on Parkview then a Left on Erbes follow by a Right on La Granada, we will ride up Lynn to Dos Vientos and returning on Portrero.

Dos Ventos Community Center for Restroom and Water This is a "drop ride" meaning that if you can't keep up with the group, and/or catch up within the 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. 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 the official 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.
