We have fun new away rides and a newcomers ride beginning soon! Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related.

Hello CVC Club Members, Just want to remind you that the CVC clothing store closes on July 7th. Please place your orders before then. Remember, you need to be a current club member to order clothing. This is a two step process. You will place an order, create an account, or use your existing account, and then you will receive an email after the 7th to pay for your clothing. We do have minimum orders to make, so if we are short, we will send a cancellation notice. We will not be opening the store again until October/November. Here is the link to the store. Your store is all set up and here is the link: https://www.lgpickpayride.com/Conejo_Valley_Cyclist_ReOrder If you have any questions, please let me know. Sincerely, Sheri Leiken
