Tuesday rain
by Sheri L 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

Rain is still in the forecast for tomorrow so I'm not going to call a ride. And if for some reason it blows away for tonight, we can meet at 9:00 at Starbucks and figure it out.

CVC CLUB JERSEY survey #2 -Please read and participate
by Sheri L 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

Hi CVC, The results of the survey left us with a difficult decision with a general 4 way tie. (if it is 1-3 votes away, I call that a tie) That said, I am taking off #5. Though it had many votes, the comments from those who DID NOT like it, really did not like it. It still had less than the 3 that were similar. And so what next? I thought this would be done and a clear winner would have made life easier, but there was no clear winner. SO... we have 2 more parts! We had over 100 votes, and now I am going to ask you all for your vote 1-2 more times to narrow it down. First, I am introducing 3 more designs because the designs came in later and they were too good to ignore and I would like to see more of a majority break this tie. Then, we are going to vote on a "collection" rather than a color for right now. I have presented many color options, some you may love, and some not so much. That does not matter right now. I know some of you may say, "well, if THAT is the color, I don't want it." Try not to let that influence you as if it is truly an unpopular color choice, it will not win. For now, please look at the designs only. After this survey, there MAY be ONE MORE that will include a color choice after we select the final design. At that point, if it is a close tie again, we will settle with two color choices for everyone! However, the new offerings are the only color option we will have. I don't get paid the big bucks, so I need *you* to help me with this job after all, it is YOUR club! Please participate in this second survey and *then* the 3rd after this, (unless the one with only 1 color choice is picked) Oh, don't worry about the design elements, like the rabbit centered, (we heard you!) We will get these fixed, including CVC placement and Ascend placement. BTW, someone asked about the rabbit. It is "conejo". Also, we will keep our logo, CVC in the front. It is visible, it lends itself to new riders, and it is easy to spot each other from afar and most of all, it promotes our club. I am sure each of you know someone that has found CVC through seeing the jerseys out on the streets. Let's try to get to this by Sunday so we can move onto colors and shorts. https://forms.gle/cRk3XXZaoNigcgxa6 -- Sheri Leiken CVC President
