Held on June 21st, the day of the Summer Solstice. This year’s event will enable Conejo Valley Cyclists to continue to donate to those in need, and to give back to the Cycling Community. Proceeds from this year's fundraising ride will specifically go to supporting high school age fire victims who have lost their homes and their bikes. We will also support James Storehouse organization and other local entities. Please see our website for past recipients. You can help by participating in this year's fun fundraiser! This is a chance for you to enjoy a great ride with SAG support, hangout with great riders and people, and enjoy a picnic with a fabulous Mediterranean food truck, along with the satisfaction of helping others. Your participation enables CVC to celebrate everything you enjoy as a CVC member. If you are not a member of Conejo Valley Cyclists, you can still join this ride by purchasing a 30-day Associate Membership for $10. Your Associate Membership will qualify you for the ride, regardless of when you purchase it. We are offering 3 rides on June 21st 2025 * A 27-mile route with 1800 feet of elevation that wraps about the Conejo Valley, encompassing some of the most enjoyable riding terrain our community has to offer. * A 51 mile with 3500 ft elevation that takes riders down to PCH and back through the Santa Monica Canyons via Encinal - a favorite training route of professional teams. If you prefer to not go to down Potrero to the coast, we will also offer a modified, slightly shortened version of this route. * A metric century with 3700 ft elevation the -62-mile course will take you through Thousand Oaks down Santa Rosa Road to PCH up Encinal and down Westlake Routes subject to change Here are 5 reasons to register NOW: 1.

First 200 registrants will receive a complimentary commemorative T-Shirt. 4. There will be no other CVC rides scheduled on June 21, so what else are you going to do that day? 5.

CVC Risk Assessment Team
by president＠cvcbike.org 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Hello CVC members, CVC has asked for volunteers to head up a Risk Management team with the goal of enhancing the safety of our group and individual rides. We (Stephen Levinson and Carla Weier), have stepped up to take on this role. Stephen, a retired physician, has been a member for about three years. He describes his job as navigating the fine line between benefit and risk, similar to what we hope to accomplish with club cycling. Carla is new to the club as of October 2024, a Triathlon Coach and Personal Trainer who’s been actively cycling for 16 years. She started racing triathlons while living in NYC where cycling is like being in a video game. Lots of stimulus, crappy streets, dense city traffic, pedestrians, and very little room for error. We recognize that many of our members have been in cycling accidents involving trauma. We suspect all of you have had at least one very close call, whether it was your fault or not. Accidents occur for a variety of reasons: bad weather/ riding conditions, loss of focus, poor judgement, insufficient skills, overly fatigued, undernourished, or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Our goal is to make us all better, safer cyclists, so we feel confident, whether riding Mellow Yellow or Red. We have outlined some steps to get us there and it will be a process. Please be patient with us. In the near future we will be sending out a membership questionnaire. We hope that all of you will respond. Our goal is to learn where you feel competent and what safety lessons you’ve learned over the years. Acknowledging your experiences will help determine where we can improve as a club so all members feel more safe riding alone or in a group. What we anticipate doing next is the following: • Give ride leaders education on what to do in the event of an emergency. This information will be shared with the whole club because the leader is not always present at the time of an incident and we want to empower all of you with the knowledge to handle most situations. • Provide specific riding safety practices. This may include a team meeting that involves an outside organization to speak to us, but will also include written guidelines. • Feedback from the questionnaire will allow us to come up with a plan that suits all our ride levels. We may introduce cycling skill clinics, short pre-ride discussions on how to improve a specific skill or handle a certain situation, as well as guidelines on how to be more aware and visible while cycling. We look forward to ramping up our safety initiative and working with all of our CVC friends to keep safety front and center. Please feel free to reach out to either of us to brainstorm and share ideas. Carla carlaweier(a)compleatfitness.com Stephen sglevinson1(a)icloud.com
