CVC Help Wanted!!!! (and needed)
by Sheri L 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

Hi CVC! It is that time of year where we are trying to get some new ride leaders. We are especially in need of a Gold Ride Leader and a Social Ride leader to help pick up some of these rides. You do not have to be fast! We can get you started. Take a look at the CVC website for a good description of what you will be doing. It is NOT an overwhelming job or a lifetime commitment, but it is once a month or more if you want. We need members to volunteer in this volunteer organization. Please consider stepping up to help. https://www.cvcbike.org/ride-leadership.html And speaking of volunteering, we are very excited that our own Terry Hearst will be taking on and bringing back the Picnic & Benefit ride. We have missed this ride since Covid, and are very excited to bring it back. More information will be coming soon, but to get started, we need a lot of help! First, SAVE THE DATE: June 21st, Summer Solstice Ride Date Second, We need help from the CVC membership. 1. Someone who can send out weekly marketing emails (done up nice and cool of course) 2. Donations of products and/or services for our silent auction 3. Sponsors If this sounds like something you can help out with, please let me know. -- Sheri Leiken CVC President

Photos for Petros
by Sheri L 25 Jan '25

25 Jan '25

Hi CVC and Friends, Petros's family wants everyone to know how appreciative they are for all of the dinners. They have been so helpful to them. Petro's family is asking for our help in putting together a memory book with pages filled with familiar faces and that show his passion. Of course that was cycling. I have created this google photo drive. I have not done this before, so I hope it works. If you have any photos with Petros doing what he loved to do, that would be great if you can just add it to this google album. I started with a few. He is progressing but it will be a very long process and he is still in the hospital. Thanks so much. https://photos.app.goo.gl/DS68YoE685P743vw7 -- Sheri Leiken CVC President

Tuesday ride 9:00
by Sheri L 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

As much as I would like to stay close to home, I want to ride upright!!!! The wind seems to be taking over. It will be a whole lot less in Ventura/Ojai, so I am proposing this route. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49025641 We will start in the lot in Ventura off Santa Clara (same lot as always). Focus in on map and it will show. Start time: 9:00 am See you tomorrow for a nice ride through Ojai! -- Sheri
