Wed. ride THIS WEEK ONLY N.P. Bike Shop
by Sheri Leiken 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Hi All, Thanks for the responses. This week only, we will leave from N.P.Bike shop on Newbury Rd. right off the freeway at Ventu Park. I would like to start from alternating sites based on who is riding. Quite a few were in favor of Newbury. A couple said Westlake, and so as it gets darker after this week, we will go back to Westlake even if it is a quick up and back. But it will be windy tomorrow and I don't think it is the best route. So, I hope to see as many as possible in Newbury Park leaving at 3:30. And let's see how it goes. Thanks for doing this trial ride!

WED. AFternoon Ride-must reply
by SHERI 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Hello CVC'rs, Many of us who cannot ride in the morning still like to get out and spin our legs during the week. These next few weeks we will be pushed on the time and after the holidays, the daylight hours will be lengthened! I have continued this ride for most all weeks of the fall/winter Wednesdays, and we can make it work! First, the ride needs to begin at 3:30 sharp. But for me, it is hard to get there then, so I am offering a few suggestions. 1. I would like to start in front of PITFIRE Pizza in Westlake. Easy in, easy out... 2. The rides are down to about 18-20 miles. 3. Every so often, I would like to offer an alternative start location at Newbury Park bike shop. (with a Dos Vientos Loop) If you are interested in joining tomorrow please let me know, and then let me know which is better, Westlake, or Newbury Park. I will get back to you! Thanks so much!Sheri

We will have a short ride before the event ride so that we can roll over to the start as a unified club while flying our colors. Some info from the city of Thousand Oaks: "The 'Spokes in the Oaks' streets will be closed to motorized traffic for the day, bringing the streets alive with all forms of people-powered movement. You can walk, bike, run, skate to participate, plus we will have hubs of entertainment, food and activities for all ages. The event will extend along a 1.7-mile route from the corner of Townsgate and Triunfo Canyon Road with a route opening by Mayor Adam. First 1000 guests to the event will receive a complimentary water bottle from the City! These 'Open Streets' events are inspired by the weekly Ciclovia Events that started in Bogota, Columbia. Any Open Streets is a celebration that temporarily opens a stretch of city roads to all of the community turning our streets into an activity place.
