CVC CLUB JERSEY survey #2 -Please read and participate
by Sheri L 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

Hi CVC, The results of the survey left us with a difficult decision with a general 4 way tie. (if it is 1-3 votes away, I call that a tie) That said, I am taking off #5. Though it had many votes, the comments from those who DID NOT like it, really did not like it. It still had less than the 3 that were similar. And so what next? I thought this would be done and a clear winner would have made life easier, but there was no clear winner. SO... we have 2 more parts! We had over 100 votes, and now I am going to ask you all for your vote 1-2 more times to narrow it down. First, I am introducing 3 more designs because the designs came in later and they were too good to ignore and I would like to see more of a majority break this tie. Then, we are going to vote on a "collection" rather than a color for right now. I have presented many color options, some you may love, and some not so much. That does not matter right now. I know some of you may say, "well, if THAT is the color, I don't want it." Try not to let that influence you as if it is truly an unpopular color choice, it will not win. For now, please look at the designs only. After this survey, there MAY be ONE MORE that will include a color choice after we select the final design. At that point, if it is a close tie again, we will settle with two color choices for everyone! However, the new offerings are the only color option we will have. I don't get paid the big bucks, so I need *you* to help me with this job after all, it is YOUR club! Please participate in this second survey and *then* the 3rd after this, (unless the one with only 1 color choice is picked) Oh, don't worry about the design elements, like the rabbit centered, (we heard you!) We will get these fixed, including CVC placement and Ascend placement. BTW, someone asked about the rabbit. It is "conejo". Also, we will keep our logo, CVC in the front. It is visible, it lends itself to new riders, and it is easy to spot each other from afar and most of all, it promotes our club. I am sure each of you know someone that has found CVC through seeing the jerseys out on the streets. Let's try to get to this by Sunday so we can move onto colors and shorts. https://forms.gle/cRk3XXZaoNigcgxa6 -- Sheri Leiken CVC President

New Club Jersey Vote!
by Sheri L 07 Nov '24

07 Nov '24

Dear CVC Members, Here is the moment you have been waiting for!!! (Well at least I have!) It is time to place your vote for your favorite jersey. A lot of time, and energy has gone into this process, so please keep it positive! I am giving you the link to the survey. I will keep it open for one week, so this survey will close on November 14th. You can only select ONE jersey. From there, we will have the rest of the kit designed and made. And we hopefully can get a fit night in if you are unaware of sizes. This is still a couple of weeks off. Please be involved with the club and choices! I hope you enjoy the final selection! Here is the link to the survey! (there is a little "submit" button at the bottom of the page. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe9OYET8K4nm5_tFdfMtWuboHzScy49N7R… -- Sheri Leiken CVC President

Ride on Tuesday
by Sheri L 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Hi Everyone, It is time for the Tuesday ride. We got to get it while we can. Wind will not be as bad tomorrow. Here is your route, made by Jerry. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48970258 It is called a Backwards route. We will be going up to Wildwood backwards through Gainsborough and up Lynn, then making our way to Pederson, to Westlake and up to Kanan. From Kanan, we will go through North Ranch and back through Agoura from Thousand Oaks Blvd then Reyes Adobe. It will be fun, and a little different perspective. Thursday will be a day to escape extreme winds by going to the coast. Jerry will update you on that. See you at Starbucks lot Tuesday morning at 9. -- Sheri
