WEEKLY RIDE SAFETY REMINDER- Know Your Route Before You Roll As we head into another great weekend of riding, here's an important safety reminder: Choose the Right Route for You Each week, we provide five different route options for our Saturday ride so all riders-no matter your fitness level-can have a great ride. But we've noticed some members arrive not sure which route to take. Why It Matters for Safety * Choosing a route that's beyond your ability can leave you exhausted, dehydrated, or far from help if something goes wrong. * It can put added pressure on other riders to support someone who's struggling. * In extreme cases, it can lead to crashes, medical issues, or needing to call for a ride home. Smart Route Planning Tips * Review the route options ahead of time. Check distance, elevation, and understand expected pace. * Be honest about your current fitness, recovery, and how you're feeling that day. * Don't feel pressured to take the longest or hardest route. Completing a ride safely is always the real win. * If you're unsure, go shorter. You can always add on miles at the end if you feel good. * Download the Ride With GPS route to your phone or save it to your bike computer. * If you have questions, ask during your ride leader's safety briefing. Let's keep our rides safe, fun, and inclusive. See you out there-and know your route before you roll!

Hello CVC members, This week’s safety message is about the risk to cyclists of unleashed dogs. While there is no fail-safe strategy for cyclists dealing with dogs, we hope that this article at least encourages you to come up with some type of rational response in advance of any encounters with stray dogs.
