CVC RIDE PREVIEW April 4-April 9 Absolutely no joke, we gotta stop! Stop signs and stop lights mean we all have to stop. Police and Sheriffs are on a ticketing bender and cyclists are in their crosshairs. You don't necessarily have to drop a foot, but you must come to a momentary pause. This means the front of groups will have to soft pedal until everyone has come through. Sorry, but it's the law....and an expensive ticket. -COMING UP- Saturday, April 11 Away Ride The classic Glendora/Mt. Baldy ride for Red & Orange-If interest warrants Local Away Ride Starting in Camarillo will be routes for all levels; Farm fields and Balcom Canyon loop, or along the farms to the coast with an Encinal climb and Mulholland descent.
