08 Dec '14

I wish today was Wednesday, what beautiful weather! For those of you who would like to get outside for a good mid-week spin, PLEASE come join me at The Landing Parking lot. Unlike the weekend, we park close to the driveway entrance. This will be about a 19 mile quick spin through Hidden Valley and back around Westlake to Agoura Rd. then Lakeview. We will leave at 3:30 for this quick but enjoyable spin! 15+ avg. Get it while you can, who knows what weather the weekend will bring! Please let me know if you are coming so I know who to look for! Sheri As with any other CVC ride, please arrive with water, helmet. CVC Inclement Weather Policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining, excessively windy, or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. This is not a "no drop" ride. But has easy turn around anywhere along the way if you get behind.

by Kent Koral 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hi All, Hero dirt all around.....Come out and ride. The ride schedule for this week is as follows, per Ben Griffes with CMB: ** Tuesday we're riding in Chesebro. Meet in the front parking lot at 6:00 pm Thursday the forecast is for PM showers, so depending on when the rain starts and it not too wet, let's ride Switchbacks/Space mountain, since the trail can sustain a light drizzle. Meet at the end of Moorpark Rd a 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, now that it is getting dark. See you soon on the road or trail! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

So, if the roads are wet and not in the process of drying out when you wake up, consider the Sunday club rides cancelled. However, those who wish to, may meet and ride on their own. Thanks, Cam

CVC Community Event (Manna – Conejo Valley Food Bank), Saturday, November 22nd, 2014
by president＠cvcbike.org 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

When: 8:00-8:25 am. Where: The Landing (CVC ride start location) In the spirit of giving back to this great community we live in, CVC will be collecting from 8:00-8:25am for the “Thanksgiving for all” campaign put on every year by Manna. For more than a decade Manna has provided a holiday “care pack” containing all the fixings for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner to struggling families in the Conejo Valley. Unlike many food pantries in the area, Manna is not formally affiliated with any religious organization, nor are they federally funded in any way. In fact, Manna exists almost entirely on private donations of food and funding. More than 95% of the food Manna distributes each year is donated by organizations, businesses and individuals from around the Conejo Valley. Funding is provided through generous donors and grant writing efforts. Some Top Priority Items are… 1. Thanksgiving Pies 2. Canned White Beans 3. Chicken Broth 4. Soup - all kinds 5. Juice 6. Boxed Potatoes 7. Ramen / Cup o Noodles 8. Mayonnaise 9. Cereal- hot & cold 10. Crackers/Cookies All items will be taken and dropped off at Manna after the completion of Saturday’s rides. (@ 11a.m.). If you wish to donate but can’t make it, please visit http://www.mannaconejo.org/. Who knows, maybe you’ll be helping out the next great cyclist. Let’s Go Ride, Henry Montalvo President, CVC
