Bring out the TRI bike (or not) for a fund day in aero. Question of the week: Are you watching the tour? And how do you watch the tour? Do you avoid spoiler alerts? Do you fast forward so that you can catch up each day? I wish I had the free time to watch 3+ hours of racing for 21 days, but work always gets in the way. I want to keep updated on the progress, so I read news articles in the morning, and then watch the replay as I can. One of the good things about this approach is that I end up with about 2 months or more of premiere cycling to watch. Just remember when going out on a group ride not to spoil it for those that are behind in the action. Safety Tip of the Week:  Don't drink and ride.  Riding while impaired increases your chances of not having a good ride. 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

Extra Shirts from Picnic Ride
by president＠cvcbike.org 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

Hi All, I still am holding onto these incredible shirts from the Picnic & Benefit ride. If you rode the ride, or donated to the ride, I would love to give you one of these at no charge no matter when you registered, even if it was past the deadline. I mainly have large and extra larges. (maybe one or two mediums). They are super nice long sleeve lightweight performance shirts. If you would like to purchase one for $15, the money will go straight into our charity donations. I would just like to move them out of my home and into yours. Please send me your name and size ahead and I will be sure to bring them to this Saturday's ride start. Sheri

This Week's Pub Ride
by Cliff Scott 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Happy Monday, CVCers: This Thursday's Pub Ride will begin at LadyFace Alehouse & Brasserie at 5:30 pm. LadyFace is located at 29281 Agoura Rd, Agoura Hills, CA 91301 - just west of Kanan on the north side of the street (same parking lot as Jack-in-the-Box and Islands). Let’s meet in the parking lot directly in front of the restaurant’s entrance. We’ll take off promptly at 5:30, so be sure to arrive a few minutes early. Here is the route we’ll be taking: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30490558 This ride is at a social pace, which I understand may have somewhat different meanings to some, but if you’re looking for a ride where you can really hammer, this is not it. Also, riding this time of the evening can be challenging (motorists coming home from work, distracted by either their reflections of the day or their anticipations of the evening to come), so it is important for our safety to stay together as a group. We have a table reserved on the patio after the ride and everyone can order their own food/libations as desired (the Mac-n-Cheese is to die for). So even if you cannot make the ride, plan on being there afterward for the fun part. RSVPs are not required, but if you wouldn’t mind letting me know if you’re coming, it would be permit me to do a better job of coordinating with the management at LadyFace. Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.

That’s sun tan lotion, and I highly recommend it for everyone. We are already embarrassing our kids and family by the tight and colorful lycra we are wearing; Dr’s recommend 30 or higher SPF and to re-apply every hour. This eliminates the stinging eyes for me. Apply liberally, don’t be afraid to go “kabuki” with the face. Speaking of the face, those of us with blue eyes can be sensitive to lotions, so I us Coppertone baby suntan lotion on my face. No more tears. Safety Tip of the Week:  Watch for and Avoid Road Hazards-Be on the lookout for hazards such as potholes, broken glass, gravel, puddles, leaves, and dogs. All these hazards can cause a crash. Always ride with at least one hand on the handlebars. Save the “look, Ma, no hands!” tricks for the driveway at home. Carry books and other items in a bicycle carrier or backpack.  In wet weather watch your speed as surfaces may be slippery and it will take you longer to stop. 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.

Thanks Beth. Yes, I’ve been sending out weekly emails to CVC members about the Thursday Pub Ride. You should program your email so that it does not go into your spam folder.

I always feel like I have to ride to live. If I don’t get out and ride, my family thinks I have way too much energy. Apparently, it’s hard for the teens to sleep in on a weekend morning if I'm home and not out riding. But most of the time I am living to ride. I think about where I want to ride for the week, when I’m going to ride, and get disgruntled when work interferes with my riding. I need the work to fund my riding, but otherwise it’s a job and not a passion. “If biking is your passion, set aside time to enjoy a good ride”. Safety tip of the week: Put down the phone-This shouldn’t even need to be said, but talking on the phone, texting, or checking Instagram while biking endangers everyone. Also refrain from listening to headphones <http://www.slate.com/articles/life/a_fine_whine/2012/11/cycling_with_headph…> that close off the ear, because they can make it more difficult to hear approaching cars and pedestrians.
