CVC Red Ride Feb 4th
by Jim Doane 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Hi Club members and Red Riders: I wanted to acknowledge and thank again Club member/Red Rider/Race Team member Nick Steel for hisprevious suggestion to me for today's Red Ride route. Adding the Juan Bautista de Anza Park part at the beginning of our regular: Rock Store - Encinal Canyons- Mulholland Hwy ride gave us a nice diversion and added variety to one of our regular Red Ride routes. Nick's suggestion was very much in line with what our Ride Director, Kent mentioned at our group start today.We'd like to encourage Club members of all colored club rides to suggest and even lead new and varied routes to our existing club rides. As Kent mentioned this morning - he plans on announcing a Club Ride Committee meeting soon.We encourage your attendance and participation at this meeting where we'd like your input to improve our club ride experience: 1) Creating new and varied club rides ( all colors & Away Rides) 2) Establishing a rotating core of club ride leaders - so no "one" person has too much leadership commitment Can be "leaders", "mid-pack leaders", "sweepers" all with the purpose of keeping riders on course & riding safely Along with the current ride leaders it would be beneficial & valuable to the club to include otherclub members who'd like to contribute some of their time to expand the fun ride and camaraderie experiencefor all which is consistent with our club motto: "The Friendly Club" Jim Doane - CVC Member & Red Ride leader

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday February 5th - 9:00am

03 Feb '12

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday February 5th - 9:00am Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) Hidden Valley / Green Meadow MUP Route Come out and join us for a social paced recovery ride (14 Mph Average Speed/Pace). 30 miles maximum and stay a while to socialize afterwards by having an after-ride beverage and snack. Please remember this is a social paced recovery ride and while that may mean slightly different paces for different people, I attempt to keep the group together as a whole on these rides. The theory is to recover from our Saturday training rides and socialize. Off we will go through Hidden Valley and climb up the hill to Treasure Hill Ranch. A quick descent to a right on Reino Drive where we then take Lynn Road to Green Meadow Drive and cut though the well hidden Multi Use Path behind the Los Robles Golf Course which runs us out on to Moorpark Road. Down Moorpark Road and up our new favorite hill, Las Padres Drive which connects un into the surgical center on Halland Drive which parallels the 101 FWY to Rancho Road. From there up Rancho Road to La Granada Drive where it connects to Conejo School Road. Down Conejo School Road through a few more lightly traveled residential streets and back. After ride socializing - Natural Cafe' Restaurant - Patio and/or front grassy courtyard area. Many options at this location for beverage and food establishments.
