NOT COOL
by Sheri L 13 Jan '25

13 Jan '25

This came from a member: I saw a disappointing sight on Saturday. I was driving down Moorpark Rd at about 1:30pm and noticed a CVC rider approaching Wilbur Rd. I thought, "cool, I will say hi if we come to the light together." As we approached, he got in the left turn lane right next to me at the red light. I was about to roll down my window and say hi, but he continued into the intersection, on the red light, waited for some traffic to pass while literally in the middle of the intersection and then went left against the light. Another car who had the right-of-way had to stop and let him go. Unbelievable. Dangerous and a terrible representation of our club. What a disappointment that was. One of the reasons I really like our club is because of the safety rules and good reputation that we try to present to the community. Anyway, just thought I'd pass it along.

by Sheri L 11 Jan '25

11 Jan '25

CVC, Out of an abundance of caution, we are cancelling rides for Sunday as well. If you ride out there, please be extra careful, there is A LOT of debris in the road that comes up suddenly. From branches, to trees and trash. The winds will be back tomorrow. Please stay safe. As a convenience to our members who have been without power for days, we are extending the closing of the on line store until the 15th. Please place your orders by then. Dawn still has the samples if you want to arrange with her for any sample and size fittings. The website for ordering is: teamstore.agile-sportswear.com/store/conejo-valley-cyclists/ Be safe. -- Sheri

by Sheri L 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

CVC, This is crazy scary out here. So many are suffering devastating losses. Many roads are closed and many are now starting to close. This situation is chaotic, and we are cancelling the official rides for Saturday. If any of you are available and want to ride, just show up at 8:30 and by then you can as a group decide which route to take to ride based on Saturday's situation. As of today, no Mullholland, No Stunt, No Piuma, Not even Kanan at this moment. In the meantime, please stay safe.and we will be in touch. -- Sheri

On line store and fitting
by Sheri L 08 Jan '25

08 Jan '25

Hi All, I hope this finds you and your family safe. Due to the fires and the power outages, we are extending our on line store closing by 2 days. Please have your orders in by the 14th of January. The website for ordering is: teamstore.agile-sportswear.com/store/conejo-valley-cyclists/ And if you missed the fit nights due to the fires, or powers, or general mess, Dawn has graciously offered, (again) her home to try on the styles and sizes on an "as needed" basis. You MUST call and schedule a time that works with her. Here is her phone to text: 805 402-8327 Remember, once these samples are returned, we will not have them again. So for now, or your future, it is good to know your sizes. Don't forget to order by NEXT TUESDAY! The website for ordering is: teamstore.agile-sportswear.com/store/conejo-valley-cyclists/ A safe fit is the Volare Elite which seems to fit the majority of the members. But best to try on the sizes to be sure, while you can! -- Sheri
