Obviously, there is something wrong with him, but is there more to it? Which hill climbs are your nemesis? For some the long slow grind is more difficult than a quick steep climb. Ask yourself why. Are you losing energy along the way of that slow grind? Maybe you need to get more nutrition in the morning and along the ride so your body has enough energy to last. Does that steep pitch feel like more than you can handle? Ask your fellow riders what gearing they are using. Maybe an extra few teeth in the back is just what you need. And practice your weaknesses. If Latigo is tough, climb it more often. When you are more familiar with a route, you know how long you will be suffering and how much more you need to push to reach the top. It will get a little easier each time physically and mentally. *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 · 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

This is a challenge for everyone. One day this week, go out on a ride and don’t turn on your cycling computer. No power meter, cadence, speed or Strava. Go out and ride by feel. If you feel great that day, push yourself. If your legs feel like lead, stroll around. Enjoy your ride. Appreciate the fact you are blessed to have the time and physical ability to ride. Every ride should not be about chasing a PR. At the end of your ride make a manual entry on Strava. Distance 1 mile, elevation 1 foot, duration 1 minute. Title the ride “old Skool”. Cvc members will know what you did and others will ask what it means. *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!

Susan! Ash! Go Greybird! Are you a friendly rider, spreading happiness while you pedal? Relish in your time on the bike, and smile. Even on the most challenging days, there should be a smile under your helmet. Give a wave as you pass fellow cyclists. Give a thank you wave when cars stop for you. Sure, they have to stop, but it’s important to thank them for the effort. A new approach that my teen shared with me is the “thumbs up” whenever you feel like giving “the bird”. It confuses people, and diffuses many situations. Always try and be a good bike ambassador, it benefits us all. *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!

It’s meant to be an “everyone gets dropped” ride. It is designed for faster/stronger riders, but truthfully anyone can participate at their own 100%. Slow roll to start of first segment, then go your 100% to the end of the segment. Slow roll to the next, 100% as long as you can. You can also call this is HIT (high intensity training). When going at your 100% be extremely cautious of yourself and proximity to other riders. Full effort segments are not downhill, or crossing intersections. You should be dead tired at the end of this ride, but over time this route will make you stronger. Shut up legs-Jens Question of the week: What kind of rider do you want to be? Since you have thought about what kind of rider you are, now think about what kind of rider you want to be. What goals do you have left to fulfill for the year? What long term goals have you set for yourself? One of the great things about riding with a club is the vast experience and experiences our riders have. If you want to be faster or stronger, ask someone stronger than you what they did to get to their level. If your goal is to complete the Mulholland Challenge or even MC Double, ask someone what is was like. How did they train for the event? What mistakes did they make, and what did they learn? *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!
