Announcing Ride of Silence-Wednesday May 18th
by Sheri L 05 May '23

05 May '23

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGpLtP0eavQ And here is a link to an Acorn Article about a prior ride. https://www.toacorn.com/articles/ride-of-silence-remembers-lost-cyclists/ Thank you for coming and riding slowly to show your support to all those hit and killed on the road.

Tuesday Night Rockstore
by Kent Koral 10 Apr '23

10 Apr '23

Hi CVC'rs If you haven't heard, the Tuesday Night Rockstore Ride (*not a CVC ride*) is back on for the season. For those that can't ride during the day, this is a nice weekday option. There are currently 2 groups, the faster group leaving at 5:30pm and the more reasonably paced group (think Orange pace) leaving at 5:15pm from The Landing. See you out there. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
