Happy New Year CVC Members! I am happy to announce the opening of our clothing store from today until Jan. 13th. Please contact me about any immediate basic clothing as I have a few scattered sizes on hand of jerseys and bibs only. If you are interested in ordering, please note that clothing orders arrive approx. 4-6 weeks from the close of the on line store on Jan. 13th. I would advise you to either try on sizes by arranging with me first, or if you are between sizes, to go one up. They tend to run a little on the smaller size. There are no refunds if the sizes do not fit as these are special order, custom made, so please try on first if any question. To place an order, simply click the link below. All orders will be delivered to your home. https://hyperthreads.com/team-stores/conejo-valley-cyclists/ If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Sheri Leiken

Sunday rides are on
by Taylor Hodoose 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

It looks gloomy, but roads are mostly dry and no new rain falling so CVC rides are on. Be careful of metal surfaces like manhole covers, and painted surfaces (those lane stripes are very slippery). Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200

Now’s the time to set your cycling goals for 2019. Climbs not yet conquered, routes that seem too long, a PR that has eluded you. It’s ok to have some private goals that you attempt on your own. You can try these on your own schedule without scrutiny. Some goals are great for sharing. Your fellow riders may have the same ambitions, and it keeps you motivated to achieve the goal. No matter how long you have been riding, or if you think you will never PR again, we can all set attainable and challenging goals. *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 · do 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 · 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

Without you volunteering your time, we would be solo cyclists out on the roads, or riding our same routes over again, or lost in time talking at the King Gillette rest rooms without our leaders to tell us it’s time to roll. Be sure to thank your ride leaders, and if you see them a little low on energy, buy them a coffee. It will make them happy, and give them a boost to pull you a little longer. *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 · do not overlap wheels · descend carefully!

That one question can only be answered by asking several more. Go to your local bike shop having answers to the following: What type of riding do you like to do? In a typical ride how many miles and how much elevation do you cover? Disc or caliper? What brand drive train do you currently have, and are you happy with it? Are you comfortable with your current gearing? What is your budget limit? Did you really get permission for a new bike, or was your spouse nodding their head listening to you ramble on about bikes again? *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 · do not overlap wheels · descend carefully!
