Santa Monica Mountain challenge (where’s the “T”?) is a yearly challenge that has grown to 15: road bike, gravel bike, mountain bike, and running segments to be completed from May 25, through Aug 31. This gives you plenty of time for the challenge, although there are some over-achievers who do it in 72 hours (congrats greybird). It lets us compare times against last year to judge our current conditioning, encourages us to climb some hills we don’t like to do, and a little healthy competition against your age group and skill level. Safety Tip of the Week:  Ride One or Two Across-Ride single file or double file as appropriate to the roadway and traffic conditions and where allowed by law. Even where riding double is legal, courtesy dictates that you single up when cars are trying to pass you if the lane is wide enough for them to safely do so. 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

CVC Summer Mammoth Fun
by Sheri Leiken 25 May '19

25 May '19

Hey CVC Members, As added fun and excitement, plans are in the works for a CVC Summer Fun Mammoth Trip on Aug. 15-18. There is not an "official" ride, but rather rides with recommended routes that we can ride together, one being a June Lake route. The afternoon fun and/or morning fun will continue with organized hikes (by the Super Host, Kent with special guest appearances by Luigi). Everyone is invited, lodging will be on your own. There are campsites, many Arbnb's with great condos, and nice hotels available now. We have already confirmed our reservation through Arbnb at 3377 Chateau Road #7, Mammoth if that helps. Most places are within 10 minutes of each other. Our hope is to get an eventual count, have dinners somewhere, enjoy the beauty of Mammoth together and have a great summer trip. Jump on in, the more, the merrier. -- Sheri

Absolutely! Sometimes it may feel like an inconvenience, but it’s well worth it. You get a chance to ride on roads you don’t travel every day. Different landscapes, and different cracks in the road. It feels fresh and new. You do need to allow more time, but that forces you to sit back and enjoy the ride. And for all you foodies, there is usually a lunch stop, Safety Tip of the Week:  Stay on the right side <http://www.marc.org/bikeped/sharetheroad.htm> of the lane-Ride in a single-file line with other cyclists (not two or three abreast) if the street is too narrow for cars to pass. Cyclists are allowed to ride in the middle of the lane to increase visibility. Keep an eye out for parked cars (or rather, doors from parked cars opening into the street). Avoid the dreaded door-into-cyclist snafu by staying a little bit closer to the center of the street if there are parked cars. Also, move towards the left side of the lane when turning left. Stay out of drivers’ blind spots <http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/pubs/cycling-guide/section3.3.shtml>, especially at traffic lights or stop signs. 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.
