Wet roads and cozy beds
by Bart Ziegler 11 Mar '18

11 Mar '18

Don't even think about riding this morning. Still a chance of more rain and obviously very wet roads. We had a great ride yesterday, and maybe this afternoon will clear up. But snuggle in and enjoy. See you all soon. Let's ride, Bart Ziegler Design & Development Jagged Surf jaggedsurfinfo(a)gmail.com www.jaggedsurf.com (805) 813-2832

Weather today
by Bart Ziegler 10 Mar '18

10 Mar '18

Hey CVC, It's cloudy and rains may set in around 11, but dry enough to ride this morning. I'll modify my ride to just 7-minute or King Gillette out-n-back so we can get back early. Otherwise, a quick spin and coffee if we get actual rain. Taylor is cancelling the Red Ride. Gold looks like they are considering a shorter modification, or cancel too. See the diehards there.

How does the weather look over there. Clear here so far... Sent from my LG Optimus G Pro™, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone ------ Original message------ From: Sheri Leiken via announce Date: Mon, Mar 5, 2018 7:46 PM To: Bart Ziegler; Cc: CVC announcements; Subject:[cvc announce] Wed. Ride slight Time Change 3:45 Hey Everyone, As predicted last week it was cold, and certainly we lost a day of riding. This weekend is also predicted to have rain, but the good news is, WEDNESDAY will be great! Some of us animals rode endured the cold last week, and so there is no excuse this Wednesday not to come as it will be 10 degrees warmer than last week even with clouds. Our ride time will have a slight delay start time of 3:45 so hopefully that will help some of you. I know it will help me! Let's do a North Ranch loop, about 21 miles, gold pace. See you at 3:45, -- Sheri

We've also got midweek rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings, the Wednesday afternoon ride with Sheri, and the return of the Tuesday Night Rock Store Race Ride (with less racy options). Always be more aware and anticipate dangers when riding with your groups. You are the eyes of everyone behind you and the voice to point out obstacles, vehicles and other hazards - even when you are tucked into the peloton. Keep your spacing generous and focus your efforts on the climbs. Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I usually have extra gear, supplies and my toolkit, pump, etc. And let's ride!

CVC Help Needed and Reminders
by president＠cvcbike.org 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Hey CVC Members, We are in the process of putting together the silent auction for our Benefit Ride. We need some help right away. Sign-ups for volunteers for the day of the ride will be out in March, but the auction is a "behind the scenes" job that we currently need plenty of help with. Here's how you can help: We need items for our silent auction: 1. If you have a service or product that you can donate, please contact me as soon as possible. This does not have to do only with cycling. 2. We need a few people on a committee to get out in our community and take over the gathering of goods, products, and gift cards for the silent auction. (restaurants, clothing stores, bakeries, cycling part connections, helmets, gyms, tree trimming, local hotels, spas, etc) This begins now as it becomes the backbone(2nd to the cycling of course) of the event. Kent will handle the local bike shops, but your club tremendously needs volunteers who can help with this endeavor. Reminders: Club Meeting Monday Night, 7:00 PM: Chiropractic Sports Institute Address: 2277 Townsgate Rd #101, Westlake Village, CA 91361 (bring lawn or other folding chair) Sign Up for the CVC Picnic and Benefit Ride: May 5th, 2018 https://www.bikereg.com/cvc-benefit-picnic-ride Password: Benefit Thanks for your help and involvement in the Best Cycling Club! Sheri Leiken CVC President
