CVC Ride Preview CORRECTION!!!!
by Cameron Young 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

Yup, yours truly does it again! The date for the Coastal Coffee Ride mentioned in this week's Preview is incorrect. The correct date is July 12, NOT July 19. I apologize for the confusion. FYI, all club away rides are on the second Saturday of the month. I've been in touch with the owner of the Sandbox Cafe in Ventura, where we'll be stopping, and they are very cyclist friendly, so I hope you all can make it. Thanks all! Cam Young Ride Director CVC
