***Spam*** Thank you Bart
by Sheri Leiken 15 Aug '18

CVC Colleagues, Please join me in thanking Bart Ziegler for his many contributions as CVC Ride Director during his years of service. Bart is moving up north to start an exciting new chapter and we certainly wish him all the best. As our club’s Ride Director, Bart brought enormous energy and passion to our rides. He partnered with our ride leaders to ensure we provided a variety of safe, scenic and challenging rides each week. He always made a point to reach out and welcome our newest members. He took time to share insightful safety tips and watch outs on how to avoid dehydration on particularly hot days. Bart took club photos to an entirely new level. Who can forget his zany and at times self-deprecating selfies which made all of us laugh and kept things light. Please join me in thanking Bart for his tireless efforts and commitment to CVC and in wishing Bart all the best. CVC Board of Directors

Hi All, This Thursday we're going to take a nice shaded run to the end of Carlyle Canyon and back. We will leave from Twisted Oak Tavern in Agoura Hills, and return for a nice cold one that we will have definitely earned. See you in the parking lot to ride at 5:30. Don't forget your helmet, spares, and water bottles. -- Sheri

This came today to CVC: On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Conejo Open Space Foundation, I'm writing to thank CVC for the generous donation you made to us from your Annual CVC Picnic Ride & Benefit. COSF is the only all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization that (1) raises funds to support open space projects in Conejo Valley (COSCA has 15,000 acres of open space and 151 miles of trails) and (2) provides public education about Conejo open space and its importance to all Conejo citizens. COSF funds help build and maintain trails here in Conejo. COSF also sponsors Spring and Fall Trail Work Days (come out and join us! These are fun days!) and our annual week-long Trails Education Days, which has educated over 40,000 4th and 5th graders about open space and their place in it. If you hike or ride in Conejo, or even if you never use open space but enjoy looking at it - COSF is the organization that helps maintain it and keep it open for all. Learn more: https://cosf.org/help-support-your-local-open-space/ Volunteer: https://cosf.org/volunteer/ Donate: https://cosf.org/donate/ Again, thank you all so much for your generous donation!

CVC Meeting and Swap Meet Tonight
by Sheri Leiken 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to remind you that TONIGHT is our club meeting. We will have guest speakers who will be speaking briefly about the Sapwi Bike Park. I am sure you will find this very amazing, and hopefully will have a sense of pride to know that YOU are helping this project become a reality! Followed by our brief talk will be our First Annual CVC Bike Swap meet, where we can buy other's treasures, or sell your own. Please be prepared to set up your spot and make your name visible in case you are walking around. Anything goes, bikes, bike parts, clothing, etc. You may find anything from high end bikes to wheels, to saddles that did not work for someone but may work for you. There may be lots of treasures, big to small, high to low. Bring what you have! Bring cash, bring your checks, (who has those?). I will be bringing some new discontinued and vintage Cruisin' and CVC jerseys for quick sales. If it gets crowded, we can spill outside. It will be fun. Drinks, snacks, friends, bikes, bike parks, wow! See you 7:00 at the Westlake Library Community Room. 31220 W. Oak Crest Dr., Westlake Village, CA 91361 -- Sheri
