New CVC Club rates for 2014
by Kent Koral 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hi CVC'rs, As we close out the this past year and start anew, your Conejo Valley Cyclists Board of Directors has made a few changes to our fee structure for club membership dues. In the past we have had a tiered rate chart that included an initial rate and a renewal rate. *Prior* *I*ndividual "initial": $30.00 Individual renewal: $20.00 Family "new": $35.00 Family Renewal: $25.00 We will now be using a flat rate as shown on the following table. Individual $30.00 Family $35.00 The fee's for using the payment feature in our online membership system will now be absorbed by the club instead of being paid by the member. The increase in fees will help offset some of the rising costs incurred by the club that have in the past been covered solely by funds from our Cruisin' the Conejo ride. We also have not had any club due rate increases in many years. I'm sure that you will agree that even with this increase, the club is still a great value. We are looking forward to seeing all of you out on the road and trail in 2014!! Your CVC Board of Directors.

SUNDAY BEACH RIDE
by Sheri Leiken 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Happy End of the Year CVC Riders! If you want a change of pace and a day to enjoy some of this bright California sunshine, we will be taking a SO CAL BEACH ride along the bike path in Santa Monica Sunday morning. We will be leaving the Pier lot at 11:00 am. Many of us are taking non-road bikes, but either is ok. There is also a rental place close by and you can get a day rental for a pretty good price. It may be worth it. Just arrive early enough to grab that bike and meet us in the lot. We plan on stopping along the way for refreshments and cold drinks. (or on the return). It will be a beautiful way to end the year. This is a social, fun ride! Weather will be great, so bring your helmets, and lets head on out for some wave watching fun along the bike path! Cameras welcome! Sheri Ohsheri2005(a)sbcglobal.net
