New Kits are ready to Order! Again!!!!!!!!!! See links! WOOHOO!

17 Aug '20

Dear CVC, Our team store is open again for a limited time. The store will be open for 2 weeks and will close on August 31st. Please allow 5-6 weeks from THAT point for delivery. The new kits have been well received in both look, comfort, and fit. The bibs and shorts are amazing! The only suggestion I have is, since the gloves and arm warmers are unisex, I would suggest going up a size. So if you are a men's medium, I would suggest a men's large, etc. The APEX kit is on the ascend website, it is not drawn up in CVC, but should fit the same. The difference is mainly the collar. Let me know if you have any questions. Your team store is live and ready for orders! The link below will give access to the store. That's it! Team Store Web Address: teamstore.ascendsportswear.com/store/conejo-valley-cyclists/ *Members/Customers who wish to sign in to an account they created must go to the ABOVE link or directly to teamstore.ascendsportswear.com. Sincerely, Sheri Leiken President, CVC

Santa Barbara Away Ride this Saturday, 8/22!
by Sheri L 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Hey CVC friends! Just wanted to give you a heads up that this coming Saturday there will be an away ride in Santa Barbara for different levels. Orange Light and Orange/Red will have different variations of routes starting from Padaro Lane in Carpinteria up to Gibraltar. There will also be a route for Gold and those that do not want to go up Gibraltar. It's going to be beautiful up there, and so far, the weather doesn't look like it's going to be quite the inferno that it's been this past weekend. However, please be sure that you are prepared to bring enough water and nutrition for the ride, especially the Orange Light and Orange/Red riders. It gets pretty warm up Gibraltar and it's a 6.14 mile climb. Trust me, if you haven't been, the views are spectacular! The official routes will be sent as usual later this week on Thursday. This was just a little pre-note to let you all know what's coming up ahead. If you are out riding this week, please remember to stay hydrated out there and not overheat. Keep electrolytes in your water bottles and remember to drink often, not just when you're thirsty. By the time your body overheats, it's way harder for it to cool down in these 100 degree temperatures. Stay safe out there! Sheri, Donna and so on..

More answers on Orange Light Away ride
by Sheri L 31 Jul '20

31 Jul '20

I am getting lots of questions... This is meeting in the same spot we usually meet in, in Ventura. For those of you who do not know.. Museum of Ventura County Research Library Parking lot. Corner of E. Santa Clara St. and Junipero St. The actual address is the museum, not the parking lot, but it will show up as 100 Main St. The lot is the outdoor lot next to the museum. The ride starts at 8:30. -- Sheri

It would be great if someone could jump in as you organize together, and take over this week. We most certainly will need some people to step up and volunteer to lead gold in the future.

Important Info on Mask Wearing
by president＠cvcbike.org 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

To Conejo Valley Cyclists, Beginning tomorrow, we are asking that you all wear a mask/face covering in the parking lot and around Westlake where we have plenty of walkers. We are doing a great job social distancing, but when passing walkers or other riders, or listening to ride start information, it gets closer than some are comfortable with. We look better as a group when we are doing our part of face covering. Many surrounding cities are now making masks mandatory and though we could say "we are exercising", we do not know who will be particular about this or not. So while we are in highly visible and populated areas where others are walking or standing with masks, it serves the community better to wear a mask. Thank you for doing your part, Sheri Leiken President CVC
