Wed. Afternoon ride 3:30!
by Sheri Leiken 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

NEW TIME! 3:30! Please join us in our Wednesday afternoon, spin the legs on Humpday ride! With the time change, and the short days, it is a perfect time to get out there in the afternoon for a quick spin through Hidden Valley. This is not a "no drop" ride, meaning, we will ride at a steady pace, and. there is only one way in and one way out. You can't get lost. The group does its best to stay together, but know it is not always possible. We have one regroup spot at the fire station before going through. IF the pace is too fast, you can turn around at any time and won't "get lost" since this is an out and back ride, and will still get a good ride in with other riders out there. We will meet at The Landing, (in the center by the entrance) and will plan on rolling out by 3:30! This give us an hour and about 15 minutes to roll around the lake, up to Hidden Valley for a quick turnaround at the end and back. If time permits we will turn left down Hidden Valley Road and then roll back through Hidden Valley, otherwise we will turn around in the last driveway before going up the hill. The pace is about 15+. It is about an 18-20 mile ride. It is a fun group, a great way to get out those mid- week blahs, and the goal is to be back onto Westlake as dusk hits. If you have a back blinkie, all the better. We will NOT be riding in the dark however. I hope to see you out there. Come give it a try! Email me with any questions! See you there, Sheri

CVC-Saturday Rides Weather
by Cameron Young 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Happy Halloween everyone! From all the weather reports I'm reading it looks like the most rain will be falling tonight and after midnight, but will be tapering off in the early morning. So, it looks like we may have, at the worst, sloppy roads, and at the best, roads that are wet but drying out. If the roads are completely wet, consider the club rides cancelled. However, members and others may choose to ride on their own, as usually happens in iffy conditions, but again, it is not considered an official CVC club ride. For those who don't consider weather to be issue, please remember to ride carefully. The roads will be slick since this will be the first rain the roads have had in months. Turning corners, wet leaves, debris on the roadsides, motorists who may not have the best vision through their windshields. Lights and running tires at a lower psi are good options. Lets hope for the best: Lots of rain tonight, and dry roads in the morning. Sorry for you trick or treaters tonight, so bring your umbrellas. Cam Young Ride Director Conejo Valley Cyclists
