Help Wanted!
by Sheri L 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hi All, Especially looking for some giving souls that can help marshall the Tour de Pink Ride. This ride helps *young* women suffering through breast cancer. I have reached out to a few of you who I thought would be great marshalls, or escorts, riding among these wonderful women, and often men who are riding for corporate companies or family members. You do NOT need to be female to marshall this ride. In fact, males are needed. You will be leading some riders going through treatment, some survivors who are trying to get their strength back, and many other supporters who have put forth their time and money and energy to raise funds to help others. I still need a few more people to be a marshall and help lead and escort this ride while encouraging the riders. Please contact me. Thank you so much, Sheri THE ROUTES You can choose to ride 20, 36 or 62 miles. All of the routes head south from San Buenaventura Beach to Oxnard before heading back to Ventura then west to Carpenteria for the longer distances. All routes are basically flat compared to West Coast rides in the past. 62 mile 2350’ total elevation 36 mile. 873’ total elevation 20 mile 343’ total elevation *YSC Tour de Pink West**Lisa J. Frank Memorial Ride* *This 1-day, fully supported ride offers 20-mile, 36-mile or 62-mile routes and raises critical funds to provide education, support and community to young adults impacted by breast cancer.* *WHEN: October 23, 2021WHERE: San Buenaventura State Park, Ventura, CA* -- Sheri

Response needed for Bicycle Safety Team
by Sheri L 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Greetings CVC Cyclists, Kathy Naoum heads up the City of Thousand Oaks Bicycle Advocacy Team (BAT) and would like feed back for the two items below. Both will benefit our cycling safety and enjoyment. Item #1 explains why the left turn signal going North on Westlake Blvd (heading towards the freeway) and turning left on Triunfo Canyon Road does not trigger for cyclists. Please send your experiences of the dangerous and awkward situations you have encountered at the signal. Kathy's e-mail address is knaoum(a)toaks.org. Item #2 details new paving and road striping that will take place in Thousand Oaks. She would like cyclists to take three quick surveys so that she can gather as much feedback as possible. The two Newbury Park routes have been on recent rides so we should have some fresh thoughts. Details of lane changes: https://www.toaks.org/departments/public-works/construction/restriping-lane… Survey link: http://www.toaks.org/lanes Thank you in advance and safe riding, Mark G.

THIS WEEK'S RIDE SCHEDULE
by Richard Paul Aguilar 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Hello CVC, HERE IS THE RIDE SCHEDULE FOR THISWEEK. Please view and download / print yourroute. Pub rides are scheduled on Wednesdayswith a rolling time of 5:30PM. Sheri has and continues to send outannouncements with information for sign up. The Flat Truth You don’t need strong hands to changea flat without levers; it’s all about proper technique. Nylon tire levers arebetter than metal ones. If you don’t remove the instigator—thorn, glass, stone,metal shaving—from the inside of your tire, or look for a tear in your tire’ssidewall, you will flat again. And again. Perfect the art of changing a flat.No excuses. Brake Pads Three signs your brake pads are worn:You hear a gritty scraping sound, the grooves in the pad have all butdisappeared, or you feel stickiness when you brake. Don’t touch disc-brake padswith your fingers. The oil from your skin can decrease their braking power. Bike Mechanic If you’re not handy with bike repairor maintenance find a good mechanic. Need help? Ask a fellow CVC member abouttheir favorite bike shop.
