CVC GO Thursday Ride - August 28 @ 5:30 p.m.
by Sherrie Felton 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

It looks like Ladyface will not be our post-ride venue for this Thursday's GO ride. It took several days (and contact attempts) to get a response from them. I found out late yesterday that they want me to sign a contract that guarantees $15/pp minimum, e.g., if we reserve for 20 people, we have to spend a minimum of $300, with any shortfall to be charged to my credit card. I don't feel comfortable with their requirements so let's go back to LAB Brewing this week. I am working on reserving a space at the back patio at LAB. The back patio is larger than the front patio and bikes are OK back there too. The route will be North Ranch, approximately 20 miles. I'll send out the announcement and details tomorrow.

by Kent Koral 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Hi All, I have been, and will continue riding the road on Tuesdays (and lately Thursdays also) for the summer, but I am riding the dirt with the CMB crew my schedule permits. Its a great group, so get out and join in the fun either Tuesday or Thursday. Sorry for the spottiness in the announcement of the weekly MTB rides. The ride schedule for this week is as follows, per Ben Griffes with CMB: ** Tuesday we're riding in Malibu Creek. Meet at DeAnza park on Lost HIlls Rd. at 6:00 pm Thursday we're riding Switchbacks/Space Mtn. Meet at the end of Moorpark Rd. 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). It is an intermediate paced ride and not a no-drop ride. but,lets stay together within our groups, and have a fun safe time. Always make sure you have your approved helmet (mandatory),water, spares, and a light (in winter). See you soon on the road or trail! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

by Adam Winer 24 Aug '14

24 Aug '14

Over the past few months I have been in contact with many of you in regards to club clothing. We are preparing a club clothing order that will be placed shortly with an anticipated delivery date in October. Pricing is TBD, however, I am attempting to keep pricing the same low price as it has been in the past. Waiting for updated information from our Manufacture Canari. The following items will again be available to current club members: * CVC short sleeve / full zipper jerseys (both mens and womens / club and euro cut available) * CVC shorts and bib shorts (womens cuts will be the non bib version. If you are interested in womens bibs, please contact me quickly.) * CVC wind jackets with zip off sleeves to convert to a wind vest (unisex) * CVC logo white SPF30 arm warmers * CVC skullcaps * CVC socks (both black and white varieties) I also have been asked about sleeveless jerseys, bib and non bib knickers. If you have any interest in sleeveless jerseys or bib and non bib knickers, please contact me immediately so we can attempt to revive these items on our order. ------- Adam Winer Conejo Valley Cyclists adam(a)cvcbike.org
