Hey CVC Mountain Bikers This Tuesday both the Novice(with Lee) and Advanced(with Kent) Mountain Bike rides will ride Cheesebro Canyon. We will meet in the lower parking area and ride at 6PM. Don't park in the upper lot since sometimes the Rangers lock the gates. The parking lot is on Cheeseboro Rd about 1/2 mile North of Driver Ave in Agoura. Routes to be determined. Lee will send out a route itinerary for the Novice ride. Most of our rides are approximately 8-15 miles and last around 1.5-2 hours. The Tuesday evening Novice ride is a beginner/intermediate paced ride and the Advanced ride is an intermediate/advanced paced ride. Lets stay together within our groups, and have a fun safe time. At this point you probably wont need to use a light except in case we get caught out late. After the ride we can hit Ladyface Brewery for some well earned refreshments. See you out there.

CVC Saturday Purple Ride April 14th 8:30am Hidden Valley Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot in Westlake Village Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) Route: Hidden Valley, (out and back) Howdy-ho, CVC Purple Riders! Beth will be unavailable to ride until May 12th - so folks - ride nicely together! Look out for new riders and make sure everyone KNOWS the route and the REGROUP spots. If possible, be sure that everyone has a partner that matches their riding capability. PS - Feel free to drop me an email after your ride to let me know how it went! This Saturday, the Purple ride will be going to Hidden Valley (out and back). Below is a link to the Ride With GPS website that will show you the route. Be sure to print out a route slip if you are unfamiliar with the area. The ride is 20.7 miles with only 880ft. of climbing. It'll be fun! Here is the link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/303590 To see Frequently Asked Questions regarding the Purple Ride, click here: http://www.cvcbike.org/?p=3127 The Purple ride is a beginner club ride with a 12-13 mph average pace but is open to all levels. No one gets dropped and no one is left behind. Please make sure to wear the appropriate riding attire. Please check your bike prior to Saturday and make any necessary repairs. Afterward we can grab some refreshments on the patio at the Natural Cafe'. See you Saturday! Although the Purple ride is a "no drop" ride, for the enjoyment and safety of the participants, we will keep a 12-14 MPH average. If you feel you are not Purple ready, but want to work up to the Purple level, please contact the Ride Captain who will gladly give you some pointers and advise. We strongly recommend that you come out and meet the riders! The best stepping stone to grow into a Purple rider is to ride around Westlake! When you can sweep those 5 flat miles at a steady 12 to 14 mph pace, and still feel ready for more, then you will be able to handle many of the standard Purple routes. Things you need for every ride: Helmet-Mandatory Water or Sports Drink I.D. Cell phone Spare tube CO2 cartridge or hand pump Patch kit Route slip Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. Have Fun On Saturday! Beth McElhenny 818-207-3186
