Just a quick reminder that we will meet tomorrow, Wednesday, at 3:30 for about an 18-20 mile ride. Always fun, always a good feeling when you are done with your mid week stretch. Let's be thankful we live here where we can be out riding in our little jerseys while the rest of the country is under freeze. Get it while we can! See you at 3:30. -- Sheri

carpool help

Hi Sheri and all CVCers, I would love to join the Gold Away ride tomorrow, but I'm needing a ride *back* from Carpenteria. I live at PCH and Kanan Rd in Malibu, but I can also be dropped off along the 101 in Agoura, Westlake, or TO and my husband can pick me up from there. Can anyone who is going on the ride give my bike and I a ride back? My cell is: 805-245-4367. Thanks! -- Sheri

Monday, Veteran's Day Away Ride
by Sheri Leiken 09 Nov '19

09 Nov '19

For those of you who can join, please do. Riding in S.B. makes for a beautiful day! We will be meeting at Padaro Lane, (Santa Claus Lane) in front of The Garden Market. We will be traveling up the coast to Goleta Beach where we will turn around and come back through Hope Ranch. If the group wants to do the full route it is about 45 miles, and if you want to turn back earlier, that is another option. I can send a route if needed and will work on that later. The route is not very climby, but rather pretty and enjoyable for all! --Sheri

Most of you have seen me pulling the Uncrustable out of my back pocket. It’s hard to go wrong with PB&J in a convenient package. French toast is another great one. I pack them individually into sandwich bags, pour some honey on one side and pop it in the freezer. They warm up to perfection just when I need it. Generally, I eat something every hour from the start. It keeps me feeling full, and not trying to get energy when it’s too late. Safety Tip of the Week:  Watch for Traffic Coming from The Rear-Even when you are occupying the proper lane position, it often helps to know when a car is coming. Consider wearing/using a mirror. Since those in front cannot see traffic approaching from the rear, it is the responsibility of the riders in back to inform the others by saying “car back.” Around curves, on narrow roads, or when riding double, it is also helpful to warn of traffic approaching from the front with “car up.” 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 · 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 · always use proper hand signals to indicate to drivers and other riders your intentions · we are a "rules of the road" cycling club · 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

Wed. afternoon ride 3:30!
by Sheri Leiken 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

Hi All, I despise this time change, but with summer weather, and winter light, we can still ride mid week and get our legs moving. Routes are a bit shorter, but hey, we can be outside! Note the time change... for those of you who can't get out in the morning, this is the perfect ride for you! Rides are 17-20 miles, and about an hour and 45 min. Please let me know if you are coming as I may change start location from time to time. This week, let's meet at the Landing a *3:30*. We have plenty of time for a good Hidden Valley run. Sheri
