Hey CVC’rs, here is your virtual Zwift ride scedule for this week! We are running rides on Monday (Kent Koral) and Thursday (Shane Mann) from 5:30pm-7:00PM This time window allows riders some flexibility since you can now join a Zwift meetup up to 30 minutes after it has started (cool!) Monday will be in Watopia riding the “Volcano Flat” route with Kent Koral. It will utilize the "meetup only view" function. We will NOT use the rubber band on this ride, but I will keep us all together. This is a semi recovery ride and we will ride together at a nice easy pace with a few spicy bits here and there. This will be on Zoom. See below for more Zoom information. https://zwiftinsider.com/route/volcano-flat/ On Thursday, Shane will be doing something new. Zwift Workouts. See below for her instructions: ** The Thursday Zwift Ride will be starting a new style of riding called "Work Out" mode with Shane Mann. To join the workout first hop on Zoom meeting at 5:30 for your ride information and to discuss the selected workout and how to navigate to it. We will be doing Week 1 of 6wk Beginner FTP Builder in "Work Out" Zoom Meeting: Meeting:858 3914 2641 Code:620774 Instructions you will be given on Zoom to find a Work out and are also listed below for your convenience. When you open Zwift you will go to the following: 1. Ride Type and under that you will select Just Ride and to the right of that click on Training. 2. Next you will select 6wk Beginner FTP Builder, select week 1. 3. Select Foundation (FTP 148) Endurance Zone 2 **WORK OUT BEGINS** Your bike lead Shane will walk you through this at 5:30 too and get all the CVC Riders ready for a fun Thursday night "Work Out" ride. ** You will need to use the Zwift Companion app to make sure you are following both Shane and Kent so that we can add you to the rides if you are have not already done so. Please make sure you are following us by 4PM on The day of the ride (you only have to do this once) so that we can have everybody on the invite that wants to ride.. For the Zoom meeting rides, make sure you download the Zoom app ahead of time. Then using the link (see below), join the zoom meeting. Zoom will give you the option of transmitting both audio and video out to the meeting, or just audio if you want to forgo the video feed. This is another great option we utilize to keep the chat fun and lively. You will still be able to see those that are feeding video. Again, there are many YouTube videos out there that you can watch to learn everything you need to know about Zoom meetings. Feel free to reach out to us via text if you have any questions. We are both looking forward to riding and having fun with you all in the incredible world of Zwift!

This Saturday's Ride 10/31 + Nosco Zwift Ride
by Sheri L 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Dear Conejo Valley Cyclists, This coming weekend, your team at CVC will be supporting the Mike Nosco Foundation. Many of you know that the Nosco Ride is a long time favorite challenge in the Conejo Valley. This ride was formed to honor Mike Nosco whose life was tragically taken too soon. Over the years, amazing cyclists, volunteers, friends, and family turned out in the thousands to participate in what has become known as the "Nosco ride". This year we are trying to keep up a small part of the tradition virtually and also and in a much smaller scale group out on the road. The Nosco Ride supports financial relief to families and/or individuals who are confronting a life threatening illness.The recipients for 2020 are already selected and are available on the website. They are all facing horrific illnesses and your support may provide them with a little less worry. Normally, the ride would take place on November 3rd, the day that Mike Nosco passed. However, due to Covid, an actual road ride with hundreds of riders will be impossible to manage within Health guidelines, so CVC will be doing its part on *Saturday, October 31st*, by suggesting that our club riders face a challenge of their own, and ride the routes in honor of Mike and those that are suffering. Club member and former Orange Ride Leader Gary Silver will be out nourishing us at a regroup spot on the 3 longer routes and will provide some snacks for CVC members. We do ask that you do not linger due to our 2020 "no large gathering" time. Gary Silver will be at the Leo Carillo lot after the Mullholland left turn. Details on pre-ride announcement at the start. You may purchase clothing that looks incredible AND helps support the foundation/cause using this link. https://via.primalcustom.com/collections/t06477a You may register for the ride and provide a donation in any amount using this link. This is a club ride, so registration is *not* necessary, but it is highly appreciated and valued. https://mikenosco.com/register/ Please use the official hashtags: #noscoride <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/noscoride?__eep__=6&source=feed_text&epa=H…> #2020virtualnosco <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/2020virtualnosco?__eep__=6&source=feed_tex…> On the day of *November 3rd*, the Nosco Team will be hosting a *ZWIFT Virtual Rid**e *for those that have accessibility to Zwift. The ride will be on November 3rd between 5:00 and 6:10 PM. Join superstars Dave Zabriskie and Lauren Hall as they lead this special ride that unites the community in memory of a wonderful man. This ride means so much to so many people and the peloton will be full of your favorite pros. Here is the link to the Zwift Ride: https://zwift.com/events/view/1124354 <https://zwift.com/events/view/1124354?fbclid=IwAR0_MFTqmHqe9QLgq-VzLUr21oGA…> Your donations will go to this year's recipients. You can read their stories below: https://mikenosco.com/mike-nosco-memorial-bicycle-ride-recipients-2020/ >From Jack Nosco: We must keep in the right perspective of why we ride on November 3rd; one, to memorialize my brother Mike and two, to join in solidarity, a Peloton with a Purpose, in hopes of raising funds for and motivating our chosen recipients. Our recipients are people in our community, our friends, family, co-workers, etc. who are facing life-threatening illnesses. They need our spiritual and financial support in a huge way. By making a donation: www.mikenosco.com, all the money raised will go directly to these people in need. https://mikenosco.com/register/ We will offer 5 routes this coming Saturday, October 31st. There will be no assigned colored group levels for these routes. There will also be no ride leaders, so be sure to look at the routes carefully and download and/or print. The hope is that we stay together within our chosen route rides, but no one will be leading and there is no need to keep up with any specific group or other group members. Enjoy the challenge. 22 mile local Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34505990 35 mile local Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34513554 Nosco Shortened (Liv-Mully): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34418721 Nosco Shortened (Latigo) : https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34418750 Nosco Full Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34418683 -- Sheri Leiken CVC President <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
