New Ride Director and New Ride Leaders
by Sheri Leiken 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Hey ALL CVC Members, Great news for you all! I would like to announce our new CVC Ride Director, Taylor Hodoose! I am thrilled to have Taylor taking on this position. He will be transitioning into the director job after conquering field at the Malibu Triathlon at the end of September. I would like to extend a "thank you" to our CVC Treasurer, Alfonso Canella for filling in during Bart's transition, I have heard many positive comments on his new announcement format and we have all appreciated his willingness to step in where needed. Taylor will be requesting the help and willingness of CVC Club riders to step up and do some ride leading! Susan has worked diligently coordinating the orange rides, and we will need to add to that list. What great ride leadership we have! We also are looking for a GO Ride leader as well as subs for other weekend rides. We need all levels and would like to see the help and support of many of you, (experience not necessary). This is a volunteer-run club and without volunteers, you would not all be reaping the benefits of such an incredible group of cyclists. We need all current ride leaders to come to the ride leader meeting on Sept. 24th. We would also like to invite all those interested in future ride leadership. *Save the date of Monday, Sept. 24th* *7:30 in the library room of Westlake Village. * Please feel free to email me any questions or concerns. But do know, we need you! -- Sheri

This week's Pub ride will be wonderfully different! Our member Cliff Scott has generously offered to host the ride from his home in Westlake, and following the ride we will be having pizza and a boat ride. This ride will be going up through Hidden Valley and returning. It is an RSVP ride only. Please send me an email if you plan on attending. All we ask is that you bring $10 for pizza and drinks of your choice. Hope to see you then, Sheri Sent from my phone that doesn't know what I'm saying. Sorry for all the mistakes.

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

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

Thank you Note

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!
