CVC: This weekend's ride and Next
by president＠cvcbike.org 25 Apr '24

25 Apr '24

Dear CVC, Hope to see many of you on the away ride THIS weekend. Please check Jerry's announcement carefully for correct starting location. There are two away rides, both leaving from different places. Only the Mellow Yellow Group, will be leaving from the Landing. From the coast, there is a shorter and longer route. The longer route could be doable for all level riders! It will be a beautiful day! Please download routes since these are "away" rides. This will prevent you from getting lost if you get separated from the group. As a reminder, next week is the Conejo Valley ALS Ride. Our very own CVC member, Dawn Foley, is co-founder of the local ALS ride which takes place on May 4th. This is a fantastic, well-supported ride which many of our riders participated in last year. I hope to see many more of you out there this year. The following are Dawn's words. April of 2015 changed my life forever. My husband was diagnosed with ALS. When you receive this diagnoses, the doctor tells you to get your affairs in order. There is no cure and this is a death sentence. Most people live 2 to 5 years. For some it's only months. We were lucky in the sense Niall lived for 6 1/2 years. We were not the couple to just sit on that news. We cofounded the SoCal Ride to Defeat ALS. We wanted to raise awareness and funds to help find a cure. We wanted to help families navigate this dreadful disease. This is the 8th annual So Cal Ride and Rally. I continue to raise funds for research, legislative and family care services. All funds raised stay here in California and also help to fund trials and research. Please join me on May 4th at Dos Vientos Park to ride or hike. You may also donate to my team if you cannot join us. Team Foley. Please see the following link for registration, donations, and for volunteer opportunities. . https://alsnetwork.org/event/2024-socal-ride-rally-to-cure-als/ https://secure.alsnetwork.org/site/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=1290 Here is the Direct link to Dawn's team fightingforfoley.org I hope that many of you can join us and support Dawn on her continued journey. Thank you, Sheri Leiken

Hmmm, May Gray, June Gloom, April ????? I don't even know the name for this. Sheri
