Meet at DeAnza Park on Lost Hills Rd. at 6:00 pm Thursday we're riding in Dos Vientos. Meet at Wendy and Potrero at 6:00 pm ** Most of the rides are approximately 8-15 miles and last around 1.5-2 hours. Our rides are done jointly with the Conejo Mountain Bike club (CMB).

Always make sure you have your approved helmet (mandatory),water, spares, and a light, now that it is dark. See you soon on the road or trail! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

CVC RIDE PREVIEW February 7-February 12 -COMING UP- CVC-Roundtrip Cycling Clinic February 21 & 28 (Rain date) Yes, we've been riding bikes since we were kids. It's easy. You hop on and pedal. What more is there to it? How about getting comfortable riding shoulder to shoulder and bumping into each other? Or how to stop on a dime? Look behind you and stay in a straight line? Or, everyone's favorite....riding in a paceline? These are just a few of the skills that the CVC/Roundtrip Cycling Clinic teaches. You will finish the morning with more confidence as a cyclist, whether riding solo or in a group. You'll be able to handle those emergency situations with more skill. Whether you've been riding for a few years or decades, there's always something new to learn. Contact me for details.

Let's go ride! First week of February, sunny skies and in the 70's. What can be better? I CAN! Yes, I am, and I WILL be there. Let's see the weather Wed. before making a decision, but my thought is Malibu Lake route with a lake lap first and last if time allows! This will give us approximately 20 miles with a 15+ avg. Come on out and join the fun and get your mid week Hump Day ride in! Please let me know if you will make it so I can look for you. 3:30-3:35 start time. 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. Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, or excess wind, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride.
