It will get hot though in places so keep the hydration on doubletime. Be careful of over-exterting yourself later in the day. On Saturday we have four rides. The Red Ride will head directly for Calabasas, come up Mulholland over Cardiac, then drop down 7-Minute then up Stunt and down Piuma. The Orange Ride is rolling out through Hidden Valley, then descending to CSU, south on the PCH and back up Decker before descending Westlake. The Gold Ride is doing a nice loop out Hidden Valley, up the backside on Borchard to Dos Vientos, then a run south on Lynn, over Las Flores and home around the Lake. And the Purple Ride is going to head toward HIdden Valley, but roll along at Westlake and do Carlisle Canyon out-n-back. On Sunday we've got three ride options for you, with everyone eventually heading for the Malibu Lake and Lobo Canyon areas. The Red Ride is doing the big climb direction up Westlake to Mulholland and Encinal Canyon, then Lobo Canyon and home around Lake Malibu. The G.O. Ride will be rolling south along Agoura to Liberty Canyon before heading west through Lost Hills and onto King Gillette, then turning north to Lake Malibu and Lobo Canyon. And the social ride is heading directly for Lake Malibu after a lap around Westlake, south on Agoura to Cornell and up around the Lake then back home the same way. We've also got midweek rides Tuesday evening and Thursday morning, as well as the Thursday night Pub Ride. And in a couple weeks we are adding a Wednesday evening family ride out of Simi Valley. Always be more aware of potential hazards and anticipate dangers when riding with your groups. You are the eyes of everyone behind you and the voice to point out obstacles, vehicles and other dangers - even when you are tucked into the peloton. Keep your spacing generous and focus your efforts on the climbs. Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I usually have extra gear, supplies and my toolkit, pump, etc. And let's ride! Bart Ziegler Ride Director Conejo Valley Cyclists REGULAR MID-WEEK CLUB RIDES Please note, we are short of midweek ride leaders now. Please volunteer so the rides can be more consistent and reflect your preferences for route, pace and stops. Drop me an email or contact Sheri for more info.

13 Jun '18

The Summer pub ride has returned! Great time of year. This year's summer fun will be lead by Lisa, Sheri, and Kent. We will be leaving every Thursday from a different establishment so watch for emails. Rides are about 20 miles average and we begin at 5:30. These are social paced rides, so everyone can enjoy. Stay for food, drinks, or anything of your choice, or just come for the "after" festivities. We will be meeting THIS coming Thursday at 5:30 at Stonehaus in Westlake for a nice cruise around Hidden Valley. It's a great ride for an up and back. This ride is being done at a social pace, with a regroup at the fire station and at the end of Hidden Valley Road. Those who want to do an extra climb go ahead and run up Treasure Hill and meet us at the end of Hidden Valley Road. See you at 5:30 at Stonehaus Thursday! We meet in the front by the fountain. Please allow yourself a few minutes to park. Lots of spaces in back. Good friends, drinks and food together afterwards! Bring your helmets, a jacket for after riding, and come on out. You do not have to stay for the festivities if that does not work within your schedule, and you are welcome to join the festivities if riding doesn't work. It is all about summer fun! See you ready to ride at 5:30 THURSDAY! Your CVC Summer Fun Crew SAFETY REMINDERS If there is a marked bike lane, cyclists may ride shoulder to shoulder. Single file otherwise.
