Choose your start from: 9 am start at Satwiwa (take Lynn Road west past Reino, make left on Goleta; meet at parking lot) 9:30 am start at Sycamore Cove campground entrance. WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT Hey CVC, The weather looks like it will cool off and be nice this weekend, with temps in the high 80's on Saturday and the low 80's on Sunday. It will also be a bit windy, so keep an eye out for debris and anticipate gusts on those fast descents. We had a rider hit a pinecone and go down last week. They are dangerous. Call out and watch out! On Saturday, we have four rides going out of the Landing. The Red Ride will be doing Old Topanga and Fernwood, with a descent down Stunt. The Orange will be doing the full Simi Loop, starting toward Calabasas, over Santa Sue and back through Thousand Oaks. The Gold ride will be heading south as well, down Agoura, through Calabasas and back over Cardiac, 7-Minute and King Gillette. And the Purple Ride is rolling around the lake before climbing up Reyes Adobe and Lindero to Kanan and Fountainwood in Oak Park. On Sunday, we've got three rides. The G.O. Ride will do a nice 3-Lakes tour with Westlake, Lake Sherwood and Lake Malibu. The Social ride is heading directly south on Agoura to Cornell and Lake Malibu for a nice out-n-back ride. And the new Mountain Bike/Gravel ride will start in Newbury Park at Satwiwa Park and ride Sycamore to the beach and back. Please note the start location in Newbury Park for that ride. We've also got midweek rides Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, including the Rock Store race ride Tuesday night (last ride this week - now beginning at 5:00pm), Wednesday afternoons with Sheri, and destination rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings (now starting at 9am). With the winds this week, keep an eye out for debris in the lanes (especially branches and tree limbs) and warn riders behind you of everything coming at them! You are their eyes when you are on the front - as well as in the pack. Keep your spacing generous and use your efforts on the climbs. 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! Bart Ziegler Ride Director Conejo Valley Cyclists REGULAR WEEKLY CLUB RIDES Tuesday Morning Ride - Leaders: David Stumpf and Susan Ashby Rollout promptly AT NEW START TIME: 9:00am at The Landing parking lot. 7-Minute Hill with Calabasas return (with option to shorten to King Gillette O/B). Route link: <https://ridewithgps.com/routes/289494> Traffic is very light on weekday mornings. Come and join us. Evening Ride - Leader: Jonathan Woodbury The fast-paced Rock Store ride continues on Tuesday. This week we will roll out at 5:00 pm PDT sharp! So both groups will leave at 5:00. Both rides leave from the Landing's parking lot. Sunset is 6:06 pm this week. That should give everyone time to return before sunset, especially if you take the Mulholland right turn at the Encinal "Y". Lights are recommended even if you plan on getting back in time. If you have a mechanical, you don't want to be stuck without a light after dark. Wednesday Afternoon ride - Leader Sheri Leiken Rollout at 3:45 from the Landing (location changes each week so watch for separate announcement). SO.... start penciling in those Wednesday afternoons for some fun times and the cure for those hump day blues. Thursday Morning Ride - Leaders: David Stumpf and Susan Ashby Rollout promptly AT NEW START TIME: 9:00am at The Landing parking lot. Hidden Valley and Wildwood (shorter option HIdden Valley O/B). Route link: <https://ridewithgps.com/routes/19173193> Traffic is very light on weekday mornings. Come and join us.

No Happy Hour offerings, but... can offer a NICE humpday, "break up your week" ride. Ride begins at 3:45 from the Landing to Malibu Lake area and a return. Great way to get out with a group! Weather permitting, (and we know it almost always permits)! We leave from the landing at 3:45. Come on out and enjoy this spirited gold level ride for about 19 miles. See you Wednesday at the landing! -- Sheri
