Monday, Veteran's Day Away Ride
by Sheri Leiken 09 Nov '19

09 Nov '19

For those of you who can join, please do. Riding in S.B. makes for a beautiful day! We will be meeting at Padaro Lane, (Santa Claus Lane) in front of The Garden Market. We will be traveling up the coast to Goleta Beach where we will turn around and come back through Hope Ranch. If the group wants to do the full route it is about 45 miles, and if you want to turn back earlier, that is another option. I can send a route if needed and will work on that later. The route is not very climby, but rather pretty and enjoyable for all! --Sheri

Most of you have seen me pulling the Uncrustable out of my back pocket. It’s hard to go wrong with PB&J in a convenient package. French toast is another great one. I pack them individually into sandwich bags, pour some honey on one side and pop it in the freezer. They warm up to perfection just when I need it. Generally, I eat something every hour from the start. It keeps me feeling full, and not trying to get energy when it’s too late. Safety Tip of the Week:  Watch for Traffic Coming from The Rear-Even when you are occupying the proper lane position, it often helps to know when a car is coming. Consider wearing/using a mirror. Since those in front cannot see traffic approaching from the rear, it is the responsibility of the riders in back to inform the others by saying “car back.” Around curves, on narrow roads, or when riding double, it is also helpful to warn of traffic approaching from the front with “car up.” When riding with us: · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · not overlap wheels · descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots · pass slower riders on the left · ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards · avoid bunching up · respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians · always use proper hand signals to indicate to drivers and other riders your intentions · we are a "rules of the road" cycling club · 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 -- Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200

Wed. afternoon ride 3:30!
by Sheri Leiken 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

Hi All, I despise this time change, but with summer weather, and winter light, we can still ride mid week and get our legs moving. Routes are a bit shorter, but hey, we can be outside! Note the time change... for those of you who can't get out in the morning, this is the perfect ride for you! Rides are 17-20 miles, and about an hour and 45 min. Please let me know if you are coming as I may change start location from time to time. This week, let's meet at the Landing a *3:30*. We have plenty of time for a good Hidden Valley run. Sheri

Yes! This is the one external event that CVC supports each year. We have unanimously voted to donate funds from our Cruisin/Picnic ride for several years. CVC members *kit up* on the ride to show our club support. There are 3 different options, all starting at Dos Vientos community center, down Potrero, pausing at the memorial site, then along PCH. You can return via Mullholland (48 miles), Latigo (62 miles), or the full monty climbing Deer Creek/Mully/Latigo (82 miles). For the procrastinators in the club, you can register for the event the day of. Hope to see you there. Safety Tip of the Week:  Be Predictable-Group riding requires even more attention to predictability than riding alone. Other riders expect you to ride straight, at a constant speed, unless you indicate differently. Along with hand signals, verbally warn cyclists of your changes in direction or speed. The lead rider should call out “left turn,” “right turn,” “slowing,” stopping,” etc. Announce a turn well in advance of the intersection, so that members of the group have time to position themselves properly. Riding in a predictable fashion <http://www.bikeleague.org/resources/better/roadrules.php> also makes it easier for cars to go around (and not into) you. When riding with us: · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · not overlap wheels · descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots · pass slower riders on the left · ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards · avoid bunching up · respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians · always use proper hand signals to indicate to drivers and other riders your intentions · we are a "rules of the road" cycling club · 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.

Hey CVC'rs, I am sure that all of you are as excited (or petrified, in my case) as I am about the Nosco Memorial ride this Sunday.
