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

Hello CVC Members! Great News! Henry has ordered the membership cards and I have them to hand out to you! I will not be at this Saturday's ride, but I will come Sunday morning before the ride by 8:40 to distribute them to those on the list. Allow yourself some time to get ready if you are riding because it may take time to get your name from the list, etc. depending on how many people are there! I will be on the Saturday ride the following week, and will also make other arrangements if you will not be there either of those days. Thanks for your patience! Have a great riding weekend! Thanks for your continued membership! Sheri Leiken Membership Director

Hi All, I have been, and will continue riding the road on Tuesdays (and lately Thursdays also) for the summer ( a few more weeks a the most), but I am riding the dirt with the CMB crew my schedule permits. Its a great group, so get out and join in the fun either Tuesday or Thursday. The ride schedule for this week is as follows, per Ben Griffes with CMB: ** Tuesday we're riding in Lang Ranch. Meet at the end of Lang Ranch Pkwy at 6:00 pm. Thursday we're riding in Wildwood. Meet in the parking lot at the end of Los Arboles at 6:00 pm ** Most of the rides are approximately 8-15 miles and last around 1.5-2 hours. Our rides are done jointly with the Conejo Mountain Bike club (CMB). It is an intermediate paced ride and not a no-drop ride. but,lets stay together within our groups, and have a fun safe time. Always make sure you have your approved helmet (mandatory),water, spares, and a light (in winter). See you soon on the road or trail! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
