Ride on Tuesday
by Sheri L 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Hi Everyone, It is time for the Tuesday ride. We got to get it while we can. Wind will not be as bad tomorrow. Here is your route, made by Jerry. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48970258 It is called a Backwards route. We will be going up to Wildwood backwards through Gainsborough and up Lynn, then making our way to Pederson, to Westlake and up to Kanan. From Kanan, we will go through North Ranch and back through Agoura from Thousand Oaks Blvd then Reyes Adobe. It will be fun, and a little different perspective. Thursday will be a day to escape extreme winds by going to the coast. Jerry will update you on that. See you at Starbucks lot Tuesday morning at 9. -- Sheri

Tuesday Ride 9 00 Starbucks
by Sheri L 28 Oct '24

28 Oct '24

How about one last pumpkin patch before the pumpkins go. We will be doing Erbes to Olson to Wood Ranch for a quick pit stop and turn, but then back Olson for a "DOWN" Read Rd. (looks very different this direction). We will take this all the way to Moorpark, then Tierra Rejada, and up to Sunset to turn right to go by the incredibly orange pumpkin patch. We'll do a quick pic stop this time, (remember that if you're in front...) then UP Read Rd to Olsen, Sunset Hills, Erbes, La Granada and back around to Hampshire, with a quick right on Triunfo for a Lake Lap. It will be a new take on same places with bright colors and an October splurge! Let's leave at 9:00 from Starbucks. Here is the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48692760 Sheri

New Safety Proposal
by Sheri L 21 Oct '24

21 Oct '24

Hi CVC, Leader, Matt Guske, found this new pedestrian safety test. I would suggest as active citizens, that you all take a look and put in your 2 cents. . The NHTSA proposed a pedestrian safety test requirement for cars and trucks. I think this would save a lot of cyclists lives if passed. The more positive comments the better. https://www.regulations.gov/document/NHTSA-2024-0057-0001/comment Thanks Matt and everyone for taking a look. -- Sheri
