Map G.O. Alfonzo Lakeview/Kanan 28 1,613 https://ridewithgps.com/routes/13084095 978-394-7318 Grey Rck/Lake Loop Statement of the week: Thank you to all of our CVC ride leaders. Without you volunteering your time, we would be solo cyclists out on the roads, or riding our same routes over again, or lost in time talking at the King Gillette rest rooms without our leaders to tell us it’s time to roll. Be sure to thank your ride leaders, and if you see them a little low on energy, buy them a coffee. It will make them happy, and give them a boost to pull you a little longer. *When riding with us:* · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · do not overlap wheels · descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots · pass slower riders on the left · ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards · avoid bunching up · respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians · 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. -- Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200

That one question can only be answered by asking several more. Go to your local bike shop having answers to the following: What type of riding do you like to do? In a typical ride how many miles and how much elevation do you cover? Disc or caliper? What brand drive train do you currently have, and are you happy with it? Are you comfortable with your current gearing? What is your budget limit? Did you really get permission for a new bike, or was your spouse nodding their head listening to you ramble on about bikes again? *When riding with us:* · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · do not overlap wheels · descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots · pass slower riders on the left · ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards · avoid bunching up · respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians · 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.
