Tuesday 5:30 pm Rock Store Ride
by Jonathan Woodbury 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

The faster paced Rock Store ride continues on Tuesday April 21st at 5:30 pm PDT sharp. The ride leaves from the Landings parking lot. Last week we had an incident along Agoura when a rock was not called out. We need to be vigilant and look out for each other. Particularly when the group is large, like it was last week, we need communicate the warning all the way to the back. It's not just the first few riders who point. If you think you're the last rider still point. There might be somebody back there. Everyone is fine. Some wheels were sacrificed and Shimano's revenues are up a little bit. We'll extend the neutral roll-out to Agoura and Reyes Adobe too. We'll do a double pace line or single pace line *procession* until then. Our send off for Nick Steel was successful. He was so happy to be away from us that he won his very first NorCal race on Sunday. Re-group is at the Encinal Y for a few minutes. Distance with Mulholland return (without Upper E) 26 + miles with 1,900' of climbing. Distance with Upper Encinal: 29 miles 2,400' of climbing Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel the official club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. Jonathan Woodbury Tuesday 5:30 Ride Leader jonwoodbury(a)gmail.com

Sunday G.O. Alternate route April 19th, 2015
by dpssmith＠aol.com 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Hi Fellow CVC Members and Guests, Because today's Orange route was very similar to tomorrow's G.O Route to keep it interesting I've decided to change tomorrow's route. Let's do Seven Minute Hill clockwise. Here is the ride link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/112175 As usual we will be departing from The Landing at 9:00 AM tomorrow. Thanks for your understanding, Dale Smith This is a "drop ride" meaning that if you can't keep up with the group, and/or catch up within the re-group times - you are "on your own". Your responsibility is to know the route from previous knowledge or by following the route slip. It is possible and/or probable that members can assist others with mechanical & other rider emergencies along the route. Our re-group spots are meant to allow a short break & a chance for riders to catch up so that the group can ride together as much as is possible. Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel the official clubride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride.

16 Apr '15

CVC RIDE PREVIEW April 18-April 23 Not Only Stop..... ......but it looks like law enforcement is keeping a sharp eye out for not being in the bike lane and riding more than two abreast. What's next, mis-matched kits? With everyone in a group coming to a full stop, there is a domino effect of the back end having to hammer it in order to catch up. So, for those in front, please soft pedal until the entire group has come through and re-joined. -THE WEEKLY RIDES- Saturday: 8:30am at The Landing <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5888298> parking lot Red Leader-Gary Silver Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/4531006 <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/4531006> Orange Leader-Orange Crush: Jerry Scott (same route at a faster pace) Leader-Orange: Cam Young Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/7474571 <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/7474571> Gold Leader-Petros Vasilou Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/7474147 <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/7474147> Purple** Active when attendance dictates Leader: Henry Montalvo Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/6351874 <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/6351874> Sunday: 9am from The Landing <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5888298> parking lot G.O.

CVC RIDE PREVIEW April 11-April 16 Absolutely no joke, we gotta stop! Stop signs and stop lights mean we all have to stop. Law enforcement is keeping a sharp eye out for cycling infractions these days. This means the front of groups will have to soft pedal until everyone has come through.
