Core work is important for everyone in all sports. As cyclists we think about our legs often. We feel the pain in our legs while climbing, and the next day after a particularly hard effort. The heart gets attention while we are bent over the bars trying to catch our breath. How often do you think about your core? Core strength will help riding strength, and comfort while on the bike. Pick at least one day a week to incorporate these exercises into your routing and watch the results speak for themselves. Safety Tip of the Week:  Move Off the Road When You Stop-Whether you are stopping because of mechanical problems or to regroup with your pals, move well off the road so you don’t interfere with traffic. It is usually best for the lead rider to pull forward in the stopping area and for other riders to pull in behind the rider in front of them. When you start up again, each cyclist should look for, and yield to, traffic. 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

CVC Clothing Cont.!!!
by Sheri Leiken 21 Oct '19

21 Oct '19

Due to the huge response on the clothing, I cannot guarantee I have any size from one minute to the next. I have had numerous email responses and so the best I can do is say, please come over between 6 and 6:30 tonight to see what I have left in your size. After that, I will post what is left if anything. Please email for address. Thank you! -- Sheri

Club Clothing

20 Oct '19

Hey CVC'ers, Don't have a CVC Jersey? I have a limited amount left and would be happy to sell them at a discounted price. We will be getting new clothing around March, so you certainly have enough time to get plenty of use out of them AND... they will be good back up jerseys for those 2 days in a row rides! In women's, I have: 1 jacket L 1 Medium Jersey 1 bib small Men-I have more variety, maybe 2 of each size. M, L, and XL. Plus..... I have our older vintage style, that we can let go for $20 each. Let me know what you are looking for. -- Sheri

Let’s not make this a “thankless job”. I couldn’t even tell you all the things Sheri does behind the scenes, but I know it takes time and patience to deal with all of us. Thank you, Sheri. Safety Tip of the Week:  Watch Out at Intersections-When approaching intersections requiring vehicles to yield or stop the lead rider will say “slowing” or “stopping” to alert those behind to the change in speed. Do not call out “clear”. Each cyclist is responsible for verifying that the way is clear before entering the intersection. Signal well and make eye contact with drivers before making a turn or slowing down. 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.

High Wind advisory-stay home
by Taylor Hodoose 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

I tried to beat the wind this morning, but failed. Moorpark is blowing like crazy in the hills. I got a flat, and while trying to fix it, could hardly stand straight. I got a second flat in the front tire in the process of fixing the rear. thankfully a nice farmer took pity and gave me a ride home. if you do ride, beware of cross winds, strong gusts, and debris in the road. It will be filled with branches and pine cones. -- Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200

Yes! Increase your elevation and mileage in anticipation of this great charity ride. Pushing yourself now will make the day feel easier. Get re-acquainted with those iconic climbs so that you know when the suffering will end. I recently read that people only use 40% of their capacity, so when you think you are done you still have a long way to go. Safety Tip of the Week:  Don't drink and ride.   Riding while impaired increases your chances of not having a good ride.
