CVC CLUB MEETING 4/17
by Sheri Leiken 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

CVC Meeting, April 17th 7:00 pm, Westlake Village Library Are you fit ? Yes ? That's good. How about you and your bike ? Do you fit ? You might think you do but maybe not. Our speaker will be Nate Loyal, Bike Fit Specialist, to elucidate on the fine art of making you and your bike "one". He'll also tell us of his experience at the Paris-Rubaix Sportive and the mega dollar bet that two non riders made about one's ability to ride from Las Vega to L.A. and how to win within the agreement. Have you ridden a KTM ? No, not a motorcycle but a bicycle. We'll have Trever de Ruise from KTM Bikes to not only tell you about the bikes but to show you their product line. Yes, again, we'll have a "Bikes at the Library" meeting. Raffle prizes too! Why would you be anywhere else on Monday, April 17th ?
