Announcing 2 new rides!
by Sheri Leiken 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

CVC Members, We are announcing two new rides this week! First we have our purple, which was known as a starter ride but it is now shaping up to be a great rehab ride, or... a "I haven't been riding in 6 months" ride. Many of our members have been off the road for a while, or have had other injuries that have kept them from riding. If this is you, please come on our and do our purple ride to get back in the swing of things! Don't let the name throw you off. This ride is made up of those who want to get going OR get back into riding! Get the word out! This is a weekly ride led by some really great people! This week it will be led by Kristin! Come give her Kudos and get some yourself! Also, this Sunday, we will be introducing a Beginner Mountain Bike ride led by Alfonso! This first week will be going out of Satwiwa Park in Newbury Park at 8:30, and will go down to the coast and back. It really is a beginner ride this week, so don't hesitate! Don't forget the pub ride Thursday evening. I think we can stretch this out much of September! Have some fun, change it up and have a great week! -- Sheri

02 Sep '17

Hey CVC! I'm here to announce a social holiday ride! This is a great way to get out and start your morning Monday as the weather promises to be cooler then and be back early to enjoy the rest of the day. Let's take a ride through Hidden Valley/Dos Vientos and a fun return through Hillcrest. (Please see route). Start time is 8:30 from the Landing! If you are a faster rider, please group together and take off first to make this both a gold and an orange holiday ride! If orange or other riders want to drop down to the coast through Potrero and climb up, please arrange yourselves at the ride start. If there are any other leaders out there who want to lead a red ride, please get in touch with me. See you Monday, Labor Day! -- Sheri

Because of this intense heat, I am proposing a second gold ride along the coast Saturday. The ride will meet to leave from the mission/Museum parking lot in Ventura at 8:30. This will be about a 40 mile flat *gold* ride from Ventura to Summerland. *The regular local gold route will STILL be meeting in Westlake at 8:00 am to ride locally with Alfonso and Sue leading the way. Temps are supposed to drop. * *Drink, Drink, pedal fast to enjoy any breeze!* -- Sheri

Thanks to Linda Parks for attending our meeting and speaking to our club about bike lane progress in our community. She would love to hear from our club, "the experts". Please look over the criteria and see what 2 cents you can contribute. This is from her office: We have posted the draft of the Prioritization Criteria for Ranking Future Bike Lane Construction for your members to review and send comments to the Supervisor. Here is the link: http://www.ventura.org/linda- parks/bike-lane-priorities -- Sheri
