27 Jul '16

Many thanks again to Bob Muzio and Hector at Franco! Save the Date for the next, August 29th. Here is a letter I received from Brenda at Pioneer. Brenda Lyons here with Pioneer. Thank you so much for your time on Monday evening. Nathan and I thoroughly enjoyed your group! ... we actually bragged about the club quite a bit at the office the next day! I was very impressed with how many women you have, too! I just wanted to share this video with you....it's the one I mentioned during the presentation. I think you will enjoy it! <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXYEm_1uPhk> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXYEm_1uPhk Please keep my contact in case you have any follow up questions for you or other club members, and thank you again for having us! . Pioneer is extending the 15% off deal until August 15th. I'm not sure what the best way to communicate this great deal to CVC club members, but I'm sure it's something that people that are interested in power would greatly appreciate as a benefit of their CVC membership.

We will do a Hidden Valley Route up and back. 5:30 Start time. So sorry, I was just there and it is not only a mess, it is really unsafe. Email me with any questions on the route if you have any. See you at 5:30. Sheri

So You Think You Have Power? CVC MEMBERSHIP MEETING is on Monday July 25th at Franco Bicycles will have the key to answer that question. In addition to the Franco product on display for your perusal, Franco Bicycles will have representatives from Pioneer to show the Pioneer Power Meter. The reps are not just anyone, they are accomplished cyclists in their own right. Come and hear from Nathan O'Neill who is an accomplished road and track cyclist with more than 25 years of racing experience. He was an Olympian, Commonwealth Games gold medalist, and eight time Australian Time Trial Champion. Nathan also competed on Team Saturn, Colavita, and Health Net. He has trained cyclists from Cat 5 to Cat 1, someone worth listening to. We will also enjoy the presence of Brenda Lyons who is National Sales Director for Pioneer, who was a top ranked US Professional Racer who holds a Bronze medal and two additional top five podium results at the US Criterium Championships along with several wins and podiums at NRC stage race and criterium events during her racing career" So, all of you racers, would be racers, and CVC recreational riders (aka "mini Grand Fondo through the Santa Monicas Gold, Orange, and Red Riders") will surely benefit from the demo and the raffle. CVC will privide soda, water, and snacks. Franco Bicycles will provide light alcoholic offerings. As always, bring chairs. Get involved with your club,and have a great time doing it! See you Monday Night, Sheri Leiken
