CVC RIDE PREVIEW December 19-December 24 A letter from the outgoing Ride Director: This is the last Ride Preview that I am sending out due to my resigning as CVC Ride Director. It has been a great two years and an incredible experience. Not only do I thank you all for putting up with my pre-ride bellowing, but I want to thank all the Ride Leaders who make things happen and keep the rides flowing: Jerry Scott, Gary Silver, Mike Hackett, Henry Montalvo, Dale Smith, Kay Fields, Jonathan Woodbury, Sheri Leiken, Jim Doane, Sherrie Felton, Sheila Levine-Sherwynn. Included in my gratitude are the members who have stepped up when asked to fill in: Chris Armstrong, Phil Callan, Sharon Campise, Lance Soloway, Craig Percy, Alan Dworman, Steve Barson, Petros Vasiliou, Scott Lorkis. Yes, it takes a village to create, plan, and carry out the variety of rides this club offers. I can't thank these people enough for volunteering their time and efforts so that we all can enjoy our time in the saddle. See you out there!

Quick Wed. Afternoon Spin
by Sheri Leiken 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

I know I said I would be on break for 3 weeks, but.. Can't resist going out Wednesday afternoon, weather just perfect, legs need a spin! For those who need a little roll. plan is 3:30, up Carlisle, and back around lake. Maybe a 16-17 mile ride, but it beats not having a 16 mile ride! See you there, Sheri
