Let’s not make this a “thankless job”. I couldn’t even tell you all the things Sheri does behind the scenes, but I know it takes time and patience to deal with all of us. Thank you, Sheri. Safety Tip of the Week:  Watch Out at Intersections-When approaching intersections requiring vehicles to yield or stop the lead rider will say “slowing” or “stopping” to alert those behind to the change in speed. Do not call out “clear”. Each cyclist is responsible for verifying that the way is clear before entering the intersection. Signal well and make eye contact with drivers before making a turn or slowing down. 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

by Taylor Hodoose 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Currently rides are on for this Saturday and Sunday. Since I am in Moorpark, please let me know if you see any reports of fires in our area, and air quality. If it is too smokey, we will be cancelling official rides. -- Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200

High Wind advisory-stay home
by Taylor Hodoose 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

I tried to beat the wind this morning, but failed. Moorpark is blowing like crazy in the hills. I got a flat, and while trying to fix it, could hardly stand straight. I got a second flat in the front tire in the process of fixing the rear. thankfully a nice farmer took pity and gave me a ride home. if you do ride, beware of cross winds, strong gusts, and debris in the road. It will be filled with branches and pine cones. -- Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200

Yes! Increase your elevation and mileage in anticipation of this great charity ride. Pushing yourself now will make the day feel easier. Get re-acquainted with those iconic climbs so that you know when the suffering will end. I recently read that people only use 40% of their capacity, so when you think you are done you still have a long way to go. Safety Tip of the Week:  Don't drink and ride.   Riding while impaired increases your chances of not having a good ride.

Seems a silly question, but I notice that we have a lot of riders not wearing the uniform on Saturday and Sunday group rides. Wearing our team kits helps promote the club to attract new members. If you do not have a CVC jersey, contact Sheri. Why do we need more members? Because you can’t have a group ride without a group. Show your pride in the club, attract some attention, and remember that CVC is a social club. Chat up riders as you cross paths. 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.
