Sunday the winds will pick up locally, though, so ride with caution and anticipate gusts and changing conditions. On Saturday, we have three routes spinning around the Ojai area including Lake Casitas, The Coastal and River Trails, and Santa Paula. The Red Ride will be doing a full loop north to the SB Polo Fields, south to Ventura Harbor and east to Santa Paula before climbing back to Ojai. The Orange will head directly north around Lake Casitas to Carpinteria, take the Coastal bike path to the Ventura River Trail up into Ojai and finish with the summit climb over the valley. And the Gold ride will loop around the south side of Lake Casitas, then back up the River Trail and the summit climb. We've also got a local Gold ride (with an extension option) going out of the Landing at the usual 8:30am. On Sunday, we've got three rides. The G.O. Ride will roll up through Thousand Oaks and through Newbury to Dos Vientos, then back around Wendy Drive and home though Hidden Valley. The Social ride is cruising up through TO as well, but cutting north to Wildwood Park before completing their loop over Pederson. And the mountain bike ride is meeting up at the trailhead at Wendy and Potrero and riding some of the favorite trails around Point Mugu Park. We've also got midweek rides Tuesday mornings, Wednesday afternoons and Thursday mornings. Keep in mind while riding with a group that you must warn riders behind you of dangers coming at them! You are their eyes when you are on the front - as well as in the pack. Keep your spacing generous and use your efforts on the climbs. Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra gear, supplies and my toolbox, pump, etc. And let's ride! Bart Ziegler Ride Director Conejo Valley Cyclists UPCOMING EVENTS Saturday, Feb 10th, Ojai Valley Away Ride Come join us for our spectacular local away ride in Ojai, Lake Casitas, Carpinteria, Ventura and Santa Paula.

Important info on Ride
by president＠cvcbike.org 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

On May 5th, 2018, Conejo Valley Cyclists will hold the 2nd Edition of our annual fundraiser, the CVC Picnic, Ride & Benefit. As we begin planning this year’s fundraiser, your club leaders are turning to you, its members, to help lead the way in choosing which charitable organizations CVC should donate to. As cyclists, our reasons for riding are many: beautiful scenery, managing stress, achieving goals, staying fit, socializing, along with many other reasons. But, the goal of our Picnic, Ride & Benefit is not only to ride for the reasons listed, but to ride for the purposes of giving back. CVC has set this special day aside and encourages all its members to participate and help give back to the local community and the sport we all love. Because YOU are the ones who make this ride what it is, we need your input. You will soon receive a survey from CVC & Survey Monkey with several important questions we need answered. The board has narrowed down charities that our club can support for our Club Picnic and Benefit Ride and we need to narrow it down to two. As a reminder, CVC is a 501c3 (tax exempt) charitable organization; our main purpose is to promote cycling. Please keep this in mind when ranking the charities included in the survey. We need every member to respond and answer all the questions. Thank you so much, Sheri Leiken CVC President Henry Montalvo Board of Directors/Marketing Kent Koral Director of Charitable Events
