Hey CVC MTB’rs Couple of fun things going on. If you’re interested, I am going to Sapwi bike park on most Mondays around 4:30pm in the afternoon if you would like to join. Not a CVC ride, but just for fun. Great way to build those MTB skills. Text me and let me know if you’re going to be coming. We will also be riding this Thursday. As a sneak preview, we will ride out of the North end of Las Virgenes Road and do the Ahmanson Ranch Loop. Look for all the information on this Thursdays ride in the weekly announcement. Hope to see you all out there!! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

Pub Rides
by Sheri L 19 May '21

19 May '21

Hey All Interested CVC RIders, Now that an incredible Ride of Silence is in the books, it is time to think about warmer summer nights. You have been asking, and we are ready! Summer is coming up and Pub Rides are ready to start! ALL we need is YOU! This is the format for the summer pub rides. FUN! That's all you need to think about.. No stress, just weekly fun. There is *NO* designated ride leader. *YOU* are all the leaders.... Please select a week that you can commit to. It is YOUR CHOICE.... You are probably wondering, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? Easy... 1. Sign up-click the link below. 2. Select a Start Location and an "idea" for a route of about 20-25 miles... (No need to decide today) Richard or Kent will help you make a route from your start location if you need help. 3. Either reserve some outside tables, or.... your home, ...or select a place where we can try and put some tables together. It can even be a park. 4. Ideas: could be.....let's say your home..... host post pub ride and pre-order something like pizza or BBQ, and ask everyone for a donation of $10 or whatever it is..Maybe everyone brings their own drink of choice to share.... potluck A Pub start... past popular places, LadyFace, Stonehouse, Twisted Oak....Pedals and Pints... We have had other creative ideas in the past that have all turned out awesome. It's all about burning off to enjoy festivities and fun after. I do not think in this time we could reserve a table for 25 as we have done in the past, but a phone call requesting perhaps different tables may be what we need to let an establishment know we are coming with approximately how many guests. 5. I would suggest to ask for an RSVP from riders to get an idea, especially when pre-ordering or reserving. Be creative, fun and let's all pitch in to make this a fabulous summer of pub riding fun. All rides will be on Wednesday this year. Here is the link to the calendar https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-6KcekTt-eKNlG0NFM85zLdGb0TuHDckZg-… -- Sheri -- Sheri -- Sheri
