Cruisin Volunteer Call
by Sheri Leiken 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Many members are already working a lot of hours and donating a lot of time to make this the most incredible Cruisin' The Conejo , that the Conejo Valley Cyclists has ever put together! I will soon be posting volunteer positions for that day, but are still needing some "pre jobs" filled. It takes an entire team to make this ride a successful event and as you know, this club is run only with the help of volunteers. 1. We need some people willing to go to The Great Race in Agoura Hills on March 19th and pass out flyers to prospective riders. 2. We need certain places to still get posters up: Santa Clarita, Peddlar's Fork Calabasas, Santa Monica Cyclery, Bicycle John's in the valley, Santa Clarita , Pedalers West in Van Nuys, Burbank Bike Shop, Cycle World in Chatsworth, Pasadena bike shops, (don't know them, but easily found on google), Glendora, REI, (all) Performance in Oxnard. 3. Is there anyone going to the Solvang ride that could help pass out flyers? This would be to other riders as they come in? 4. If anyone is planning on going to outside areas such as Long Beach or down south, let me know. Thank you, Sheri Leiken
