Hi Everyone! Mark your calendars! There is a CVC ride every Wednesday afternoon meeting at the landing at 3:45. Routes to be determined. This is a fun group to come try, usually riding about 20-22 miles. I would say we are a faster gold/orange level speed, but with a short distance, so come on out and ride! Enjoy a mid-week spin and let's enjoy it while the enjoying is good! If you have a route suggestion, please email it to me! See you there!

CVC GO Thursday Ride on Break 'til 2015
by Sherrie Felton 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

The GO Thursday aka pub ride will go on hiatus until Spring 2015. I want to thank Tricia Kho for suggesting a ride from LAB Brewing. Tricia's suggestion was a happy, hoppy seed that quickly took root and thrived. Thanks as well to Jim Doane, Sheri Leiken and Kent Koral for helping with planning and leading some of the rides (e.g., Cronies); to Greta Adams for securing us a reservation at Ladyface; and, most of all, to all the CVC members and guests who came out to ride, socialize and have fun! So GO Thursday, growler in paw, is heading off to a cave to hibernate. No need to follow that... Join CVC for a spin at these weekday rides: Dale Smith's Tuesday Rock Store Ride continues for a few more weeks. The ride leaves from The Landing @ 5:15 p.m. (lights advised). Sheri Leiken's Landing Ride starts departs from The Landing on Wednesday afternoons at 3:45 pm. Sheri's ride will continue through the winter until sometime in the spring. Look for her weekly announcements. The Night Riders will start to roll again in the next few weeks, led every Tuesday by Cameron (Cam) Young. I think this ride starts around 6 pm, but please look for specific details in a future announcement from Cam. Regards, Sherrie Felton

by James Doane 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Hi All: Reminder of this week-end's Orange/Red Away ride in Buellton We've had perfect weather for past two years and this year looks to be another great weather ride. PLEASE RSVP to me if you are planning on riding with us so we can look for you at the start. ( Hit: "Reply" not..... "Reply all") Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3494916Driving time to ride start approximately 1.5 to 2 hours max. 66 mile ride route with approx 3,500' climbing through the Central Coast Wine district at Harvest Time: what's not to like? 9:00am start time Start location: shopping plaza parking lot: One block EAST of # 101 and # 246 exit ( after McMurray Rd.) Turn Right at top of the # 101 exit - drive just over one block East I think Albertson's is the major tenant in the plaza off the # 246 I have printed route slips - but it is not a hard route to follow and we should all ride together like we have in the past. Riding time will probably be approx. 4.5 hours We have had a fun group lunch at the Firestone Winery in Buellton afterwards too. After all the riding & socializing - we usually get home in the later PM if you need to tell your family an approximate return time. Jim Doane- CVC
