Ride Leader Ride with GPS Class
by Sheri L 10 Jan '22

10 Jan '22

Hi ALL Ride Leaders and those who are Potentially interested in Leading Rides, 😊 This is a volunteer led club and we need volunteers! This meeting is to take one aspect of "I am not sure how" away. Alfonso has graciously offered to teach a zoom class for* all ride leaders*. I am asking that you please attend to learn how to pick or even create or modify new routes. If we could even get you picking routes, that would be a huge help to the club, but also to me and/or Richard. We would like to do this class Monday evening, January 17th at 7:30. Here is the zoom link: Leiken, Sheri is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. Topic: Leiken, Sheri's Zoom Meeting Time: Jan 17, 2022 07:30 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) Join Zoom Meeting https://conejousd-org.zoom.us/j/88665401367 Meeting ID: 886 6540 1367 If you can be ready to take notes, awesome! Part 1: How to select routes Part 2: How to create and check routes Part 3: How to modify routes (advanced) Stay for some, or stay for all... (We may do breakout rooms for different levels if needed) I know many of you already know how to do this, so if you want to join to share your knowledge, and that would be helpful as well. -- Sheri

Important: Route Changes for NEW YEARS WEEKEND
by Sheri L 31 Dec '21

31 Dec '21

[image: image.png] Happy New Year 2022 CVC! Well, no rain, but certainly some rain damage. Many rocks covering and closing our existing routes. Please look at the new routes! Saturday will be the New Year's Day Special Ride. This is an all club ride. Because it is a holiday, the rides will begin at 9:00 from The Landing! All riders will be going on the same route, but at a different pace. This is a great route because if you want to cut out early, there are many drop off points for you to turn back. Time to spin those legs and start the new year right! Come on out and ride! *Saturday: 9:00 Landing* *Ride* *Leader* *Route* *Miles* *Climb (ft.)* *Map* *GO / RO* Donna Wood Ranch/ Library 37.4 https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38272095 *Social Pace* Sheri Wood Ranch Shortened 29 2171 https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38272246 *Sunday Road @ 9:00 amLocation: *ALL rides will start at the Starbucks @ Agoura Rd & Westlake Blvd by Vons.

Caltrans PCH study
by Sheri L 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

Hi, If any of you would like to participate or find out more about bicycle safety along PCH, here is your chance to add your input. CVC Needs to be involved. This is a request for the CVC's input on improvements to PCH between Oxnard and Santa Monica. Plenty of opportunities to improve bike safety on PCH.. See the forwarded info below: Sheri *Greetings- * ** *I work for County Supervisor Linda Parks. She asked me to forward to you this information regarding a Caltrans study that is kicking off, per your involvement with bike club(s). I have also contacted Old Kranks and CIBC.* Caltrans is starting a planning-level Corridor Study of PCH between Oxnard and Santa Monica. You can contact Olivia below to get on the list for participation in the TAC. Caltrans expects the planning study to take about two years and produce a list of future projects. It would be great to have good participation from Ventura County so the study doesn’t just focus on Malibu. The Neptune’s Net area is a particular concern, while bike safety around Mugu Rock could certainly be improved, plus separated bike trails, safety near parks and trail/beach parking, etc. Feel free to share with other clubs that would be interested. Happy Holidays! Steve Offerman Supervisor Parks’ Office *From:* Harris Arant, Olivia@DOT <Olivia.Arant(a)dot.ca.gov
