weekend parking
by Sheri Leiken 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

Some of you may not have received, so this is a duplicate. Word is out that there is work and repaving done on the LANDING Parking lot this weekend. It may just be one day. If that is the case, there should be at least "some" places left to park in the lot, and if not, we will just need to park along Lindero and side streets, and find each other close to the entrance in a logical place. Please don't block the bike lane while meeting. Perhaps even by the launching area that could be seen from the street. Please watch for signs in the lot advising when and when NOT to park there. This is a slight inconvenience that will be just fine because WE have bikes to ride to the exact location to meet up at even if we have to park a block away. WOOHOO! Sincerely, Sheri Leiken CVC President

Many thanks again to Bob Muzio and Hector at Franco! Save the Date for the next, August 29th. Here is a letter I received from Brenda at Pioneer. Brenda Lyons here with Pioneer. Thank you so much for your time on Monday evening. Nathan and I thoroughly enjoyed your group! ... we actually bragged about the club quite a bit at the office the next day! I was very impressed with how many women you have, too! I just wanted to share this video with you....it's the one I mentioned during the presentation. I think you will enjoy it! <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXYEm_1uPhk> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXYEm_1uPhk Please keep my contact in case you have any follow up questions for you or other club members, and thank you again for having us! . Pioneer is extending the 15% off deal until August 15th. I'm not sure what the best way to communicate this great deal to CVC club members, but I'm sure it's something that people that are interested in power would greatly appreciate as a benefit of their CVC membership.

URGENT RIDE START TONIGHT!
by Sheri Leiken 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Sorry Everyone. The road in front of Adobe Cantina is closed. There is only lane (both directions) on a totally torn up street. We must change the route. Let's go to StoneHouse again for the ease! We will do a Hidden Valley Route up and back. 5:30 Start time. So sorry, I was just there and it is not only a mess, it is really unsafe. Email me with any questions on the route if you have any. See you at 5:30. Sheri
