Most of you know Danny Lupold, who runs the Trek Westlake store. Danny’s son was in a very serious auto accident, I believe yesterday . I don’t have a lot of details at this point except that he is in Children’s Hospital ICU. He sustained serious injuries, but from what I’m told, he is heading in the right direction. Please keep The Lupold family in your thoughts and prayers, and as I find out more, I will share it with you. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

by Sheri L 23 May '25

23 May '25

Hi All, With all the "to do" about the weekend rides, the Memorial Day Ride and the Charity Ride please don't forget about the membership meeting at Trek Westlake on Monday, June 9th. We will need you to bring a folding chair with you....unless you choose to stand during the meeting. Remember the pro rider credo, don't stand if you can sit, don't sit if you can lay down. Hey, if you show up with an air mattress we can accommodate you 😜 Additionally, rumor has it that Trek will offer a discount on bike radar at the event. This is not a rumor, it's a fact !! See you there with your chair ! Bob Muzio and the CVC Gang

Ride Schedule May 22-25 (Including Memorial Day)
by Sheri L 21 May '25

21 May '25

[image: Conejo Valley Cyclists] *So... you are thinking about the money and cost for the CVC Picnic & Benefit Ride?* Here is a great breakdown. The average club ride lasts for 2 ½ hours. Yearly Membership Fee $35.00 Cost per hour Per month *$2.92 * 1 ride a week $0.68 $0.28 Per Hour 2 rides a week $0.34 $0.14 3 rides a week $0.25 $0.10 4 Rides a week $0.19 $0.08 Clearly........ I think we can safely say, the club membership is already a screaming bargain and this only covers operating expenses. We are more than that. We are a charitable organization in support of fostering cycling. So, let's get going on giving back and make a difference in someone's life! Let's get those kids who lost all belongings, some bikes back into their lives. Be a part of this day! It is *your* time to give back. And on that thought.... MANY of our initial sign ups for the Picnic & Benefit ride have been previous riders who have done this ride before. The reason for that is because they know how much fun this ride is. The long term members saw how much fun the event was, and how much they got out of riding it, and the moral satisfaction of giving to others. It's time to bring our newer members and those new to the Picnic & Benefit Ride, into the fun! Click the link below to register today!
