by Bart Ziegler 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

Hey CVC Family, Join us at the Gypsy Bike Ranch this summer on Wednesday nights for a nice family cruise ride along the Arroyo in Simi Valley. Routes will include a 5-miler to Corriganville Park on mountain bikes, and a 15 mile "all bikes welcome" cruise along the Simi Arroyo to the Duck Park. Afterward we will enjoy refreshments and a casual potluck (bring something to nibble or drink). Plenty of parking at Knolls Park (1300 W Katherine Rd, Simi Valley CA 93063) and we'll have the fire pit, bbq and potluck spread to enjoy. Rollout will be at 6pm from the park, or come by my place around 5 or 5:30 to get bikes setup and new rider introductions (1280 Black Canyon, Simi). All bikes welcome, including those mountain bikes, beach cruisers and e-bikes. Also, if you've got an old bike gathering dust in the garage that would make a great beginner or loaner bike, bring it by. We've got room for another 10 ponies or so in the barn : ) Contact me for more info or getting a loaner bike for a friend or family member. Come for the rides or just to hang out for a few hours. And help welcome new riders to our CVC family. Let's ride, Bart Ziegler CVC Ride Director

The G.O. Ride will be going through Thousand Oaks over Westlake to Moorpark and up Grimes Canyon, then back over Olsen and down Erbes. And the social ride is heading for Lake Sherwood and a nice cruise through Hidden Valley to the Horse Stables. We've also got midweek rides Tuesday evening and Thursday morning, as well as the Thursday night Pub Ride. And next week we are adding a Wednesday evening family ride out of Simi Valley. Always be more aware of potential hazards 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 dangers - 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!

It is high summer now though, so remember to drink more and wear sunscreen. And measure your difficult efforts later in the day. On Saturday we have four rides. The Red Ride will head for the Rock Store, then drop to the beach down Latigo Canyon, and return up Decker and Lil Sycamore before descending Westlake. The Orange Ride is rolling out through Hidden Valley, then descending to CSU, back East through Camarillo and home through Santa Rosa Valley before coming over Read Bypass and up Olsen, Pederson and over La Granada. The Gold Ride is doing our favorite 4-Lakes Tour ride up through Carlisle Canyon, around Lake Sherwood then south and up around Lake Malibu and Peter Strauss Ranch on Mulholland. And the Purple Ride is going strong with a direct route around Lake Sherwood and out to the horse stables in Hidden Valley. On Sunday we've got three ride options for you. The Red Ride is heading over Westlake Boulevard to Moorpark and Grimes Canyon all the way over to Bardsdale, turning West along Mountain to climb Balcom Canyon from the backside, then back through Moorpark, up Erbes and back down Westlake. The G.O. Ride will be rolling south along Agoura to Liberty Canyon before cutting West through Lost Hills and onto King Gillette before hitting 7-minute HIll and an Out-n-Back over Old Topanga to Topanga Village, then a return through Calabasas. And the social ride is doing a nice loop up Reyes Adobe through Oak Park and Agoura Hills before descending through Chesboro and cruising home along Agoura. We've also got midweek rides Tuesday evening and Thursday morning, as well as the Thursday night Pub Ride. And in a couple weeks we are adding a Wednesday evening family ride out of Simi Valley. Always be more aware of potential hazards 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 dangers - 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! Bart Ziegler Ride Director Conejo Valley Cyclists REGULAR MID-WEEK CLUB RIDES Please note, we are short of midweek ride leaders now. Please volunteer so the rides can be more consistent and reflect your preferences for route, pace and stops. Drop me an email or contact Sheri for more info.
