Dear CVC,
CVC along with the City of Thousand Oaks, and Pedago Bikes will be hosting
the local Ride of Silence. Let's bring awareness to the drivers of the
Conejo Valley, stressing the importance of motor vehicles being cautious
and patient with cyclists.
This is a NATION WIDE event. Please come show your support at our local
level for cyclists all over the globe, for those you know who have had an
accident and remembering and honoring the many hundreds of people we have
lost in this world due to cars.
Please show up and show your support as it is our mass numbers that will
bring attention to the drivers on the road.
I am attaching a video from a prior year.

And here is a link to an Acorn Article about a prior ride.

Thank you for coming and riding slowly to show your support to all those
hit and killed on the road.

When riding with us, you will:
* Use helmets and bike lanes! Call out hazards and ride predictably.
* Avoid bunching up; don't overlap wheels.
* Keep a prudent distance and ride single file on narrow roads.
* Ensure your bike is in good working order.
* Descend carefully!
* Pass slower riders on the left and signal when changing lines.
* Respect traffic laws and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians.
* If the weather is inclement, we will cancel ALL rides.
Hi All,
Meeting tomorrow at 9 for a morning ride! Meets at Landing.
Route TBD, but will be about 25 to 30.
It may be the last day for a bit according to the forecast.
See you then,

Hi,
Some people on the gold ride had asked for this contact info. The city of
Thousand Oaks traffic division, has a Bicycle Advisory Team. It is called
BAT.
They are there for US, making Thousand Oaks a safer riding community.
Greg Jensen is our new liaison and will attend meetings on behalf of the
CVC. There are other organizations and private parties involved as well. If
any of you ever want to attend OR have an issue or concern that you would
like to bring up, please email here:
KNaoum(a)toaks.org
www.toaks.org
Or contact Greg Jensen.
For example, today on the downhill from Westlake into Thousand Oaks, there
is a traffic light that is "usually" always green. Today it was not and the
view is obstructed from the bike lane. The car lanes have a better visual.
Luckily everyone was able to stop on time, but this is an issue that
certainly can pose a problem with descending speeds in a group. It is
certainly worth contacting the team to have this looked into.
Let me know if you have any questions, and feel free to always speak up for
safety.

Hi All,
We are so looking forward to the holiday party! It is a great time to get
together and just talk and laugh off of the bike. It's always fun to guess
who everyone is without their helmet!
We are ordering food, so please RSVP as soon as you can so that we get an
accurate count and can plan accordingly.
And for the questionnaire... so much fun.. .BUT... we have several ties so
get your results in so we can tally everything up! Even if you only have
one person to put down, you may be breaking that tie! When you are riding
tomorrow, it will be a fun time to look around and say, "oh ya... they fit
THAT category."
We need all the responses we can to make this more fun!!! You of course can
skip any. AND if you are not able to come to the party, you can still VOTE!
Here is the link to the Holiday Fun questionnaire..
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc4K9K4SmZEwkrEZiPv2ryA9WFYok4uxd8…
Thanks for making CVC the MOST fun cycling club!!!!
Happy Black Friday... Let's bring December on!!!

Hi All,
I am so sorry, the first questionnaire I sent did not work. I got only 5
replies and I know there were many of you who responded. SO... please,
please fill this out again if you already did. I so appreciate it and IF
you have not done it, please do. We need all the responses we can to make
this more fun!!! You of course can skip any.
Here is the link to the Holiday Fun questionnaire.. again, if you already
filled it out, chances are, I did not get it.

Hey All CVC Members,
Our clothing store will reopen for the last time this year. Check it out.
It will only be open for 2 weeks so that we can get the items to everyone
as quickly as possible. Grab your winter gear, (CA winter!). There are
jackets, vests, arm warmers.
The bibs/shorts are very comfy bibs and you have seen the jerseys! These
run true to size, so I would stick with your regular size. There is a
sizing chart attached to the store. The vests actually roll up and you can
turn them into a carrying vest in your pocket with a pull cord. You can
shop in the privacy of your home and everything will be shipped directly to
you. Orders are running approx. 6 weeks out, but this is 6 weeks AFTER the
store closes. The best part is, Ascend has not raised our prices like
everything and everyone else, so you still get the CVC pricing that they
offered in the past.
Again, the store is only open 2 weeks.
Please ask me any questions....
Here is the link:
