Revisit your Youth and Protect Your Rights are the themes for this month's meeting. CVC Members Meeting on February 1st features real steel bikes! Do you have one? Please bring it to and display it at the meeting. Many of us have steel bikes and love them. Share the eternal beauty of a pristine steel frame with your fellow CVC'ers. Only steel is real ! We will have Torelli Bikes displaying their Italian made steel framed bikes. Nothing rides like steel and with modern groups and wheels you can have 16 lb. bike. Additionally we will have David Drexler, a cyclist and attorney, to talk about your rights, your risks, what to know before an accident, and what to do after an accident. Also included, some club news and excitement! Come, enjoy your club on and off the bike!

We should have a beautiful clear away ride in Santa Clarita on Saturday and another gorgeous day for local rides on Sunday. We are expecting some winds, though, so be careful and watch out for extra debris on the roadways. On Saturday, we have three away rides just 45 minutes away in Santa Clarita. The Red Ride is going to ride Bouquet and Vasquez Canyons before doing a loop out to Acton and back. The Orange ride is going to bypass the first two canyons and run up Soledad Canyon for Acton, with a great loop back through Vasquez Rocks. The Gold ride will head directly for Vasquez Rocks and the National Park out that direction. For those limited on time, Sheri will lead a local ride to 7-Minute Hill. Please make the effort to get to the away ride, though. It will be a memorable additional to our club activities. On Sunday, we've got three rides. The Red Ride is heading for Lost Hills and onto a Stunt climb with a return down Piuma and Mulholland. The G.O. Ride is doing a nice Moorpark loop including Poindexter Park and Tierra Rejada into Simi Valley. The social ride is going to enjoy a nice winding loop through Agoura, Oak Park and Kanan. We've also got midweek rides Tuesday and Thursday, including a Tuesday night mountain bike ride and cruise rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings. When riding with your groups, please be very verbal and on the watch for debris in the bike lanes. Always warn riders behind you of everything approaching! You are their eyes when you are on the front. Our Purple and Newcomer courses are getting a fantastic response. Please help spread the word and bring friends! Our next ride is next weekend. Come join us. We cover lots of info from bike checks, to riding strategies, to group dynamics. 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!

Hi all, this week we will be riding Space Mountain. Not as much of a novice ride as out others, but with the damp weather, it is our best option. We will meet at the south end of Moorpark Road at 6 o'clock and ride at 6:10. I will send out a go – no go email at approximately 3 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. Make sure you have your lights, spares, water, and helmet. See you out in the dirt. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
