Hey guys,
it is time again for a little night MTB riding. This week we are going to ride to the mash site in Malibu Creek State Park. We will meet at Juan Batista De Anza park on lost Hills Road at 6 o'clock, and ride at 6:10. Don't forget your helmet, water, spares, and the light!
Do not miss this ride. It's one of the best we do. And it is a great ride for those of you who have been thinking about jumping in, but are worried about it being too technical.
RSVP me and let me know if you are coming.

WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT
Hey CVC,
The weather should be sunny this weekend, but chilly in the mornings. Layer up. Just because it's colder though, don't forget to hydrate well.
On Saturday, we have our away rides to Ojai. We will all start in Ventura with routes heading directly up the 33, down south through Ventura and Santa Paula, and a longer extension up North over Lake Casitas and Carpinteria. All routes are designed to have us all meeting for lunch in Ojai at Bocalli's Italian Restaurant. Then a couple nice choices for a return to the vehicles in Ventura.
On Sunday, we've got three rides and the holiday party in the afternoon. The Red Group will be doing Carlisle Canyon and Dos Vientos. The G.O. Ride will be doing a loop through Agoura and Newbury Park. And the Social ride is going to Malibu Lake and back. The shorter rides should give you plenty of energy to socialize and eat your fill of holiday appetizers at 3pm.
As usual, we've also got midweek rides Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, including Tuesday night mountain bike ride, cruise rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and a Wednesday afternoon ride with Sherie.
As you are riding with your groups, please be alert for debris in the lanes and always warn riders behind you of everything approaching! You are their eyes when you are on the front. On away rides, we are on unfamiliar roads so be extra cautious and audible.
Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra gear, supplies and my toolbox, pump, etc.
And let's ride!

Members,
CVC really needs your help at the party. This club only succeeds when we
pull together to help. I need someone to help with the Manna Charitable
Donation, and a few people to help with the clothing fitting operation,
that will all be happening during the party.
Your club needs you,
Please email me.
Sincerely,
Sheri Leiken
