CVC, The outpouring of support for the Nosco Ride has been tremendous. As of this date, we have 22 of our members registered to ride. The Nosco ride takes place THIS THURSDAY! For those of you who missed the first announcement, your club, CVC, is donating an extra $25 per registered rider in honor of our member, Howard Levy. Being named a recipient for the 8th annual Mike Nosco Memorial Bicycle Ride has given the Levy family and the cycling community an awesome opportunity to honor Howard and also honor the sport that he was passionate about. Let's wish all of our riders a safe and successful ride. Thank you, Sheri Leiken CVC President
