CVC Ride Announcement, Week of June 23 - 30
by Bart Ziegler 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hey CVCers, The weather will be cooler this weekend but very humid and draining, so extra water and electrolyte supplements will be helpful. On Saturday, we have routes going to the beach and back up Mulholland, or a Rock Store and Encinal loop, or 7-minute Hill over Mulholland. Sunday there are Dos Vientos routes, a loop through Newbury Park and Agoura, or Carlisle Canyon with the Social ride group. Midweek rides are available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, including the Rock Store race ride Tuesday night, cruise rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and mountain biking on Thursday afternoon. Plan for the heat and watching out for signs that others are overheating. Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related.

Club Clothing Store-Closes July 7th
by president＠cvcbike.org 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Hello CVC Club Members, By popular demand, we are reopening the CVC Clothing Store for club members. You may notice a few missing items, and that is because of the chance of not meeting minimums. Ordering is a 2 Step process. Step 1: Fill your cart. Step 2: check out, if you have purchased before, you will have a password, if not, create a new user. You will NOT be paying right away but you are committing to buy. Step 3: When the store closes in a few weeks, you will get an email from Louis Garneau asking you to log on and pay by credit card. If we don’t meet minimums, I will let you know another option, and they will remove the item from your cart. Step 4: Once you pay, allow a few weeks, and to save you money, the items will ship together. (Huge Savings). I will sort them and email you to pick up. There is a management fee which they charge for custom items, and tax, but CVC is covering the shipping. There is a slight increase in price over last time because we won’t have the buying power of a 300 item purchase. I do have socks at my house in every size that will match the red kits.They are $5 a pair, black with red, or white with red. I will bring an assortment both Wednesday evening on the pub ride and at the Saturday start. Cash or check only. I also have some gloves and a few knee warmers left over as well. Let me know if you need a pair. Here is the link: https://www.lgpickpayride.com/Conejo_Valley_Cyclist_ReOrder The store will close on July 7th. This will likely be our last re-order until November.
