Cvc official rides cancelled
by Taylor Hodoose 13 Oct '18

13 Oct '18

The new ride director is taking a conservative approach and cancelling official cvc rides. The roads are wet, and since this is the first rain in a long time the roads may be slippery. Feel free to get out and ride on your own if the streets clear up. Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200

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! 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

Wed. afternoon ride
by Sheri Leiken 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

I did not post a ride this week due to the high probability of rain. If by chance this was just a passing cloud as usual, I will be at the Landing at 3:45. If there is sprinkles, I will not. Though I hope for rain, if we don't get it, plan on a 3:45 pm ride start from THE LANDING and we will go for a 20 mile approx. ride at a Gold + pace. If not, see you this weekend! -- Sheri

Just a guy who likes to ride his bike, and sometimes enter the “pain cave”. I have a personality defect in that I do not remember names. Don’t take it personally. Yes I have met you. Yes I know you, I just don’t remember your name. I like to joke around and have a good time. I’m a little dry and very sarcastic. I have been known at times to offend people. If I offend you, please know I did not mean to. If you have any suggestions or requests, please let me know. I will always listen. I do believe there are stupid questions; but I have been known to be stupid myself, so ask it anyway.

Wednesday Afternoon Rides Begin 3:45 PITFIRE
by Sheri Leiken 23 Sep '18

23 Sep '18

It's time again for the Wednesday afternoon rides! My goal is that every Wednesday afternoon we meet at the landing for an afternoon ride similar to the pub ride without the pub, (though not saying that can't happen!) These rides will range from 18-22 miles and are a good option for a weekday afternoon spin for those of us who can't get out in the morning. Let's start this week with a ride through North Ranch, ( to Lakeview, up westlake, down Kanan and return on Agoura Rd.) We will discuss specifics then. *We will leave at 3:45 this week and we will leave from PITFIRE PIZZA in Westlake. (Gelson's area) . * Let's try that this time and see how it goes. -- Sheri
