The Red Ride will be looping around within Simi and Moorpark, with climbs including Long, Lost and Tapo Canyons. The G.O. Ride is doing a full Simi loop from the Chatsworth side, with options to go over Box Canyon or Santa Susanna.

We've also got midweek rides on Tuesday and Thursday morning and evenings, including the our famous Rock Store Race Ride (with moderat-paced options), our wildly fun Thursday night Pub Ride and destination rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings. When riding with your groups, please be very verbal and watch for debris in the bike lanes. Always warn riders behind you of everything approaching! You are their eyes when you are on the front. When calling out, be loud, especially around vehicles. Our Purple and Newcomer rides are getting a good turn-out. Please help spread the word and bring friends! Our Purple rides are scheduled for the first weekend of every month. We can also put together a Purple ride anytime. Contact me or Sheri. Come join us and bring family and friends.

Hey CVC! Come on out and join your crew for the Summer Pub Ride! This week we are back at Stonehaus in Westlake for a nice cruise around Hidden Valley. It's a great ride for an up and back. This ride is being done at a social pace, with a regroup at the fire station and at the end of Hidden Valley Road. Those who want to do an extra climb go ahead and run up Treasure Hill and meet us at the end of Hidden Valley Road. See you at 5:30 at Stonehaus Thursday! We meet in the front, and allow yourself a few minutes to park. Lots of spaces in back. Good friends, drinks and food together afterwards! Bring LOTS of water. Sheri/Lisa

Ride is a similar ride up Cornell and over Mulholland and back through Calabasas. The social ride is going to enjoy a nice easy ride out Hidden Valley to Treasure Hill and back.

Our next ride is scheduled for the first weekend in August. Come join us. We cover lots of info from bike checks, to riding strategies, to group dynamics.
