membership cards
by Sheri Leiken 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

I will be at the ride start tomorrow, but not until about 8:15. I can get you your membership cards at the end of the ride if you are riding gold. If you are red or orange, please hit me sooner. I don't want to hold the ride up, so if anyone else wants to meet me after, say at East Coast Bagels, I would be happy to meet you there if we run out of time. I can also meet anyone who is not riding there around 11:30-12. Let me know your preference. These cards are great for discounts at the local bike shops! Sheri Leiken Membership Director

CVC Ride Preview-September 18, 2014
by Cameron Young 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

CVC RIDE PREVIEW September 20-September 25 Saddle Saturdays! “This seat is killing me!”. We’ve all said this at one time or another. Most of us have saddles we have purchased that worked for a while, and don’t now. Or, we’ve upgraded and now have extras just lying around. Yes, we can try a few from the local shop, but why not keep things “in the family”. So, we have started a bike seat co-op. Bring those bad boys to the ride start with your name and contact info on the underside of the saddle, I’ll hang onto them, keep track of who has what. Someone else can borrow and try it out. When someone decides it’s a keeper, the two parties can work out the deal. -THE RIDES- While in a group and riding in the bike lane solo, the cyclist must use the middle portion of the lane, not the white line separating the bike lane and traffic. This makes it safer for a cyclist to pass without endangering themselves by going into traffic or passing on the right which can endanger both riders.

CVC-Saddle Saturdays
by Cameron Young 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

“This seat is killing me!”. We’ve all said this at one time or another. Most of us have saddles we have purchased that worked for a while, and don’t now. Or, we’ve upgraded and now have extras just lying around collecting dust, and sure, one day we'll get around to Ebay-ing them. And, yes, we can try a few from the local shop, but why not keep things “in the family”. So, we have started a bike seat co-op. Bring those bad boys to the ride start with your name and contact info on the underside of the saddle, I’ll hang onto them, keep track of who has what. Someone else can borrow and try it out. When someone decides it’s a keeper, the two parties can work out the deal. For those who may be concerned, all saddles will be sanitized for your protection!

11 Sep '14

Hello Members! Due to the high cost of postage and time involved in mailing to literally hundreds of members, I can't mail membership cards. I will be happy to meet people at designated times and places, most likely ride starts or something of the sort, like Coffee Bean or Starbucks. The first round of distribution will be Sunday morning before the ride start at The Landing. Thanks for understanding. Sincerely, Sheri Leiken Membership Director
