Rides Cancelled Today

by Bart Ziegler

Hey CVC, With these hurricane strength winds today everywhere, we think it's best to cancel the official rides. Safety is always our number one concern. If you do ride today, be very careful of wind gusts and vehicle effects on your riding. Be safe and let's ride...maybe with David on Tuesday. Best, Bart, Paul and Kay

Local Gold Sat. Ride

by Sheri Leiken

Though I encourage everyone to go out and enjoy the fresh air, breeze instead of wind, and coastal views on the "away" ride, I know it is not always possible to "get away". These routes look amazing, and I wish I could go, but I can't, so I will be here leading a regular local ride Saturday, just trying to get out and pedal. Here is a gold version of the local ride that will be leaving from the landing at 8:30 on Saturday. Hidden Valley: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/24881444 -- Sheri

Next year's CInco de Mayo will be our club Cruisin Event! SAFETY REMINDERS If there is a marked bike lane, cyclists may ride shoulder to shoulder. Single file otherwise. There is no three or four abreast at any time while moving.If you are wearing a CVC kit, you represent the club, so please be sure to follow the rules of the road. When riding with CVC, you agree to: * Wear a helmet and ensure my bike is in good working order. * Ride to the right, pass on the left. * Ride in the bike lane (where available) and signal when moving into another lane. * Ride no more than two abreast in the bike lane, single file on narrow roads, and avoid "Swarming" (bunching up and multiplying the chance of accidents) * Call out and point if I see a traffic hazard * Respect ALL traffic laws and the rights of all autos, bicycles, and pedestrians * Ride predictably and remind other to be safe * Be a bicycling ambassador PARKING Please remember when parking at The Landing for any weekend morning rides to park and congregate towards the far end of the lot away from the street and use the middle row. Do not park next to the homes. ADDITIONAL NOTES The Purple ride is considered a no drop. Having said that, please note that if you are falling behind or slower than the average pace, you may be dropped. All rides not asterisked are considered a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). If you get to a regrouping spot and no one is there, consider yourself dropped. As always, we will try to stick together and have a fun, safe ride. We will regroup regularly to allow everyone a chance to ride together. If for any reason you leave a group ride, please pass along the information to the ride leader. Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride.
