09 Jul '15

CVC RIDE PREVIEW July 11-July 16 -RIDES FOR THIS WEEK- It is the individual cyclist’s responsibility to know the route, either by printed out route slip, or downloaded to their GPS. Saturday: 9am at Leo Carrillo State Beach Coastal Coffee Away Ride: Red, Orange, Gold-Leaders: Jerry Scott, Jim Doane, Chris Armstrong, Cam Young Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5179515 <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5179515> Ride stats: 69 miles, a Metric Century (plus a little more), 1100 feet elevation mostly on the coast highway rollers. This will be a combination ride and we will all start out together. As the ride progresses, the ride leaders will spread out along the route according to their prospective groups. Since this is a longer ride than usual, and new territory for some, we will do our best to insure all riders have a fun and safe ride and be in contact with one another. We will be seeing the coast, farm fields, suburbia, and marinas. There is a Wienerschnitzel that we can get water at about 21 miles (noted on route slip) and at Emma Wood on the turnaround before heading to The Sandbox Coffeehouse (noted on route slip). For those who choose not to do the entire route, there is a Starbucks at about mile 22 (noted on route slip) if you’d like to get coffee and snacks before turning around. For those wanting to do a full Century, check in with Jerry Scott at the ride start. Ride start location link: Leo Carrillo <https://www.google.com/maps/place/Leo+Carrillo+State+Park/@34.0452545,-118.…> Parking at start: There is free parking on PCH, but make sure it’s not in the red. The paint may be pretty faded, but it’s still considered “No Parking”. There is all day parking in the lots right off PCH. I think it’s a $12 charge so bring cash. We will group for the start in the closest lot. Westlake local Rides: 8:30am at The Landing Parking lot There are no club rides scheduled at this location. For those wanting to stay local, cyclists will need to organize themselves. A suggestion is a route through Hidden Valley, over and around Dos Vientos. Sunday: 9am from The Landing parking lot Red- Leader: Jerry Scott G.O. (Gold/Orange)-Leader: Dale Smith Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3344419 <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3344419> Social Ride-Leader: tba Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2896890 <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2896890> Summer Beach Path Ride. Break out your beach cruisers! Starting at the Santa Monica Pier and riding along the boardwalk for an out and back with a stop for food and refreshments.

Racer Ride-5:30pm-Leader: Jonathan Woodbury Rock Store & Upper Encinal loop Wednesday: No rides scheduled Thursday: Morning Ride-9am at The Landing <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5888298> parking lot Leader: Sheila Levine-Sherwyn Route to be determined at the start, 25-40 miles Go Thursday Ride**-5:30pm Starting locations and routes vary, so check your emails during the week. This is an intermediate level ride that starts and ends at local watering holes, so you can finish up with some food, refreshments, and socializing with your cycling friends. Please remember when parking at The Landing for any weekend morning rides to park and congregate towards the far end of the lot away from the street and use the middle row. Do not park next to the homes. ** This is considered a "no drop" ride. The ride leader will keep an eye on everyone. No one is left behind. All rides not asterisked are considered a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). If you get to a regrouping spot and no one is there, consider yourself dropped. As always we will try to stick together & have a fun safe ride. We will regroup regularly to allow everyone a chance to ride together. If for any reason you leave a group ride, please pass along the information to the ride leader. It is mandatory to have & wear a helmet. It is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is in good condition (check expiration on helmet inner tag) and that your bike is in working condition as well. That’s all for now, folks. Have a great week! Cameron “Cam” Young CVC Ride Director 805-217-6659 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 a 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.

Sunday Cruiser Beach Ride 10:30
by Sheri Leiken 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Just a reminder that we are meeting at the lot attached to the Santa Monica Pier on Sunday to ride south down the coast. This is an easy paced ride on the bike path, and is a social get together! Many are renting bikes at the pier, I think they are around $25-$30 for the day. Others are taking their hybrids, or mountain bikes. Take whatever you want, let's just enjoy the day. I highly suggest helmets and locks regardless! We will be riding at 10:30, so if you need to get a bike, please get there early enough. We will meet on or next to the bike path at 10:30. See you THIS SUNDAY! Sheri and Kent 818 621-1713

Another observation I have is that the person with the flat might think that they have everything they need to fix whatever only to discover that they are missing something can can be supplied by others.

It’s more of a courtesy from one cyclist to another to stop and lend a helping hand or just keep them company. Personal choice, I guess. I put myself in their shoes, and how I don’t like to be stopped and continue on solo, which we all have done at some time. So, it becomes a ‘pay it forward’ situation. Many times on a group ride, the mob mentality takes over and people want to stay with the group as if it’s a Grand Fondo or a road race. I’ve had some great rides when it’s just a few people who stop and then continue on, even if we don’t catch up. That feeling of camaraderie and knowing that we are watching each other’s back. There have been times when the entire group has stopped and waited, but there are people who get antsy and want to move on, and that’s their choice, no judgement from me, why hold up everyone. This may be the only time during the week to get their ‘hammer-fest’ on, or part of their training regimen, or going for that Strava segment PR. Personally, I view the Saturday group rides as more of an adventure, never know how things will go, what will happen, but enjoy whatever the ride brings anyway.

CVC Ride Preview-July 2, 2015
by Cameron Young 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

CVC RIDE PREVIEW July 4-July 9 "Flat!" ..... We all get them, and it's part of cycling. But, too often it happens in just the first few miles of a ride. Many times it's because of something picked up on a previous ride that doesn't totally puncture the tube until later. So, make sure to check your tires before the next ride. While you're at it, grab a rag and go through some critical working parts to make sure everything is in order: tires, rims, brake pads, chain and jockey wheels not gunked up, cable ends not frayed, shifting is smooth. Your bike will love you for it! -COMING UP- Tour de France Starts this Saturday! Saturday, July 11 Away Ride: Leo Carillo to Emma Wood Coastal Coffee Run. Sunday, July 12 Summer Beach Path Ride. Break out your beach cruisers! Starting at the Santa Monica Pier and riding along the boardwalk for an out and back with a stop for food and refreshments. -THE WEEKLY RIDES- Please make sure all levels have sweepers.
