The last two weeks I have asked Kent, “what pr are you chasing today”? I get the same responses each time. “Not been feeling well”, “don’t think I'm going for anything today”... When I get home and look at Strava for the day, what do you know KK has got himself another pr on a big climb. So we don’t always have to plot it out, just go with how you feel. Enjoy the ride and see how it turns out. But if you hear someone downplaying their anticipated efforts, be ready to jump out of the saddle at the next turn. Safety Tip of the Week:  Announce Hazards-When riding in a tight group, most of the cyclists do not have a good view of the road surface ahead, so it is important to announce holes, gravel, grates, and other hazards. Indicate road hazards by pointing down to the left or right, and by shouting “hole,” “bump,” “pine cone”, etc. Everyone in a group should be made aware of hazards. 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

IMPORTANT-LANDING PARKING NOTICE
by Kent Koral 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Everyone, CVC members need to please make sure we do not park along the northernmost row at the Westlake Landing near the residences. Also, the club has ZERO TOLERANCE for people using the bushes along that row behind the residences as a toilet. This jeopardizes our clubs ability to use the parking lot for our rides. I have already been informed of some members making a practice of this, but it must stop now! Any member caught doing so will likely be asked to find another group to ride with. Thanks. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

CVC Club Clothing
by Sheri Leiken 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

Members, Exciting news! Our on line club clothing store will be open for the next week and a half. It closes on June 20th. This will be the last time to order this year, so don't miss. Due to popular requests, gloves have been added to the line up. I encourage you to try the sample sizes and will get back to you on when and where, but.... if you just can't do this, be aware, these run a little smaller than usual. Arrival of items takes 4-6 weeks from the CLOSURE date of the store. If you are in a hurry, I have a few different sizes I can sell you from my home. Here is the link to the CVC store. https://hyperthreads.com/team-stores/conejo-valley-cyclists/ -- Sheri

Please Read..Dangerous Road Conditions-Decker/Westlake
by Kent Koral 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

This is copy from a Facebook post put out yesterday by Scott Lundy, forwarded by Arran Shearer. ** CAUTION: Decker from PCH all the way into westlake has new lines painted on the road. There's a reflective sand product they used that is literally the slipperiest substance I have ever seen, and it's building up in the corners. Riders have already crashed this morning because of it, so please be careful until it gets washed away. ** From the Facebook post response, there have been a number of crashes due to this substance being on the road surface all along Decker Canyon all the way into Westlake. Please take extreme caution when riding in these areas and anywhere else where line painting has occurred. Be safe out there! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

Yes, it can. If you are binge watching Netflix, or watching a sporting event you can turn it into something more. Every time someone shoots a basket, do a push up. Every time play action stops 5 sit ups. 10 jumping jacks each time Al Pacino says “hoo ah”. You can also add variety by using a deck of cards and flipping the next card to dictate how many reps you do. Safety Tip of the Week:  Two at The End-For safety and as a courtesy, if the group spreads out, the last two people should adjust their speed to ride as a pair. If either should need assistance, they will have a helping hand. 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.
