Two Charity Rides Friday
by Sheri Leiken 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

*CVC'rs,* *Just wanted to let you know about two charitable events that take place THIS Friday. * *First is the Nosco Ride. * *http://mikenosco.com/ <http://mikenosco.com/>* *From their website:* Over the past nine years, the Mike Nosco Memorial Bicycle Ride has become an increasingly successful community event that has grown significantly each year. There has been an overwhelming outpour of generosity from our community, making the ride very special to all that participate – as riders and as volunteers. As I work to preserve my brother’s memory through the Michael P. Nosco Foundation, Inc., my main goal is to provide financial relief to families and/or individuals in our community. The emotional support that comes with 700+ people showing up in their honor is incredible! Your support means a lot to them and goes a long way in providing inspiration and strength to our recipients and their families. Registration for the Mike Nosco Memorial Bicycle Ride is open at www.mikenosco.com, here you will find updates and other information as it becomes available. This is truly a ride like no other; people from all over the world have participated in the ride, including many professional cyclists, Olympians and other professional athletes. Notables, such as the incredible and generous Andy Hampsten, winner of the 1988 Giro de Italia, Steve Tilford, who drives out from Kansas! Our very own local pro and 6-time US Time Trialing Champion, Dave Zabriskie, and Tour de France cyclist, Chris Horner and Amber Pierce – just to name a few – there are literally hundreds of cyclists that come from all over the world to support the ride! Check out the internet, YouTube videos, VeloImages photography (Brian Hodes) and other techno sites who have all posted about the ride. Our ride has been featured in Road Bike Action, 805, and Mountain Bike Action Magazines. Ivan Basso even sent us his actual racing bike, signed, and we were able to auction it off on Ebay with all proceeds going to the charity! I encourage you to get out on your bike and train, invite your family and friends to join us on November 3rd for the annual Mike Nosco Memorial Bicycle Ride. Let’s show this year’s recipients that we really care, and perhaps this day will be the day that changes their lives forever. Come be a part of this magical day! *Next is an Indoor Spin Ride, see below: * > *Join us for a ride at CycleBar to raise money for the Conejo Open Space > Foundation!* > > > > *When: Friday, Nov 3rd @ 7:00 p.m.Where: CycleBar, 2200 E.

Choose your start from: 9 am start at Satwiwa (take Lynn Road west past Reino, make left on Goleta; meet at parking lot) 9:30 am start at Sycamore Cove campground entrance. WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT Hey CVC, The weather looks like it will cool off and be nice this weekend, with temps in the high 80's on Saturday and the low 80's on Sunday. It will also be a bit windy, so keep an eye out for debris and anticipate gusts on those fast descents. We had a rider hit a pinecone and go down last week. They are dangerous. Call out and watch out! On Saturday, we have four rides going out of the Landing. The Red Ride will be doing Old Topanga and Fernwood, with a descent down Stunt. The Orange will be doing the full Simi Loop, starting toward Calabasas, over Santa Sue and back through Thousand Oaks. The Gold ride will be heading south as well, down Agoura, through Calabasas and back over Cardiac, 7-Minute and King Gillette. And the Purple Ride is rolling around the lake before climbing up Reyes Adobe and Lindero to Kanan and Fountainwood in Oak Park. On Sunday, we've got three rides. The G.O. Ride will do a nice 3-Lakes tour with Westlake, Lake Sherwood and Lake Malibu. The Social ride is heading directly south on Agoura to Cornell and Lake Malibu for a nice out-n-back ride. And the new Mountain Bike/Gravel ride will start in Newbury Park at Satwiwa Park and ride Sycamore to the beach and back. Please note the start location in Newbury Park for that ride. We've also got midweek rides Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, including the Rock Store race ride Tuesday night (last ride this week - now beginning at 5:00pm), Wednesday afternoons with Sheri, and destination rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings (now starting at 9am). With the winds this week, keep an eye out for debris in the lanes (especially branches and tree limbs) and warn riders behind you of everything 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 REGULAR WEEKLY CLUB RIDES Tuesday Morning Ride - Leaders: David Stumpf and Susan Ashby Rollout promptly AT NEW START TIME: 9:00am at The Landing parking lot. 7-Minute Hill with Calabasas return (with option to shorten to King Gillette O/B).

Evening Ride - Leader: Jonathan Woodbury The fast-paced Rock Store ride continues on Tuesday. This week we will roll out at 5:00 pm PDT sharp! So both groups will leave at 5:00. Both rides leave from the Landing's parking lot. Sunset is 6:06 pm this week. That should give everyone time to return before sunset, especially if you take the Mulholland right turn at the Encinal "Y". Lights are recommended even if you plan on getting back in time. If you have a mechanical, you don't want to be stuck without a light after dark. Wednesday Afternoon ride - Leader Sheri Leiken Rollout at 3:45 from the Landing (location changes each week so watch for separate announcement). SO.... start penciling in those Wednesday afternoons for some fun times and the cure for those hump day blues.
