It is not a "no drop ride" but as always let's try to stick together and have a fun, safe ride.
Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Blvd. Between the street and the first driveway aisle and not 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.

Hi CVC Members and Guests,
Our G.O. 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.

At the ride start we will announce the regroup locations.
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 re-group times - you are "on your own". Your responsibility is 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.
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.
Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Bl.(between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the Shops/Market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants, we could be asked to park elsewhere.
Have fun and ride safe,
Dale

RACE TEAM NEWS

Hi all!
Like they say, “March comes in like a lion…”, so this weekend is likely to be rained out, although we may have better luck on Sunday. But, I’ll post the routes anyway so you have some good ‘stuck indoors’ reading.
Coming next Saturday is our away ride. Starting in Ventura and doing the Lake Casitas/Carpenteria loop with leaders and routes for each level, it promises to be a beautiful ride, so we definitely have something to look forward to.

SAFE CYCLING TIP OF THE WEEK: With wet roads it’s always best to deflate your tires 5-10 psi for better traction. Stay vigilant for debris that accumulates on sides of the road, and stay away from anything slippery; manhole covers, painted lanes, leaves.
TEAM NEWS
The team will be in Carson for the So. Cal. Crit Series on Sunday. After being stuck inside with this rain, the guys will be chomping at the bit to saddle up and put the hammer down on the competition. We “pity the fools” who want to go shoulder to shoulder.
Let's wish them all luck!
On Sunday, May 25, the team will be racing in town, so put the date in your calendar so that we can all be trackside to cheer them on.
That’s all for now, folks. Have a great week!
