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.

Question of the week: What bike should I buy?
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. Club members may still choose to meet and
ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an

Leaving from my house.... sorry, no time to get to Westlake. If you are
interested, please let me know. We had a great ride last week from here
with a slight change of Wednesday scenery.
Got about 17 miles...
Hope to see you then,

Dear CVC Members,
Fantastic holiday party! So thankful to be a part of this incredible
club. We missed some of you there, but wishing all a very Happy Holiday
Season.
As for the donations for Manna, Craig, Kent, and I are really so amazed
by our club’s generosity. CVC is truly an awesome group of people. Bravo
to the club!
Thank you to all, and a special thanks to Craig Percy for organizing
this Manna drive.
As an added note, Trek Bicycle in Westlake has received about 200 bikes
from Trek and Electra which are slated for fire victims who were
impacted.
They NEED HELP!!!
From Trek:
I need help unboxing, prepping bikes (taking zip ties, packaging, etc.
(NO mechanical skill needed)
I need help building the bike (some mechanical skill needed)
Here is the deal;
We will be at the shop EVERYDAY of the week from 11am until 7pm (or
later as needed)
Address is 3835 E Thousand Oaks Blvd, unit K, Westlake Village, CA 91362
(just to the right of Trader Joes and Petco)
Let them know you are there from Conejo Valley Cyclists to help out.
Thank you all!!!!
Sheri

Question of the week: What roads are open?
Lots of roads in our Santa Monica mountains are still closed. I tried to
climb Westlake and descend Decker last weekend and was denied. This
website may be helpful when planning rides in the future:

Tomorrow afternoon will be the first Hump Day afternoon that it hasn't
rained in two weeks. Isn't that amazing? Anyway just putting it out there
if anyone wants to take a short jaunt in the afternoon, going to be leaving
from my house in Newbury, up through dos Vientos and back. If you're
interested, just let me know. Leaving by about 3:20.
Sheri
Sent from my phone that doesn't know what I'm saying. Sorry for all the
mistakes.
If anyone would like a pair of tickets to see : for *Four by 3000* at
Edwards Calabasas Stadium 6 on Tuesday evening, let me know.
Four by 3000 is a documentary following Team Working Nation competing in
Race Across America biking non-stop from coast to coast
These are being donated by member Sue Harmon.
