by Kent Koral 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Hi All, I have been, and will continue riding the road on Tuesdays for the summer, but I am riding the dirt on most Thursdays with the CMB crew. Its a great group, so get out and join in the fun either Tuesday or Thursday. The ride schedule for this week is as follows, per Ben Griffes with CMB: ** Tuesday we're riding the Los Robles trail east to Triunfo, via the Whitehorse Trail. Meet at the end of Moorpark Rd at 6:00 pm Thursday we're riding in Dos Vientos. Meet at Wendy and Potrero 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 helmet (mandatory),water, spares, and a light (in winter). See you soon on the road or trail! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

Fwd: [cvc members] Cougar sighting

Please read the below note. Thanks Mark for the heads up. Safe riding everyone. Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: > From: Mark Took via members <members(a)mail.cvcbike.org> > Date: June 4, 2014 at 11:07:17 AM PDT > To: Henry Montalvo <henry.montalvo(a)gmail.com> > Cc: CVC member list <members(a)mail.cvcbike.org> > Subject: [cvc members] Cougar sighting > Reply-To: Mark Took <castle205(a)msn.com> > > > Yesterday at the Gubinador water stop a guy in a pickup stopped and said he owned a ranch on Gubinador and there had been cougar sightings in the area. He said that a few days ago he saw a pair of cougars on Gubinador around 7:00am. He honked but didn't get much of a reaction from them. He thought we might want to make cyclist aware of these sightings so they can be aware while riding in this area. Cougar attacks on humans are rare but have happened. I think that includes a mt. biker or two. > Be alert! > > Mark > > Sent from my iPhone > _______________________________________________ > members mailing list > members(a)mail.cvcbike.org > You can unsubscribe and manage your message preferences here: > https://mail.cvcbike.org/mailman/listinfo/members

What: CVC GO Thursday Ride @ 5:30 p.m. When: Thursday June 5, 2014 Route: Malibou Lake What Else: CVC First Thursday of the Month Picnic @ 7 p.m. DISTANCE: 20-25 miles. PACE: This is an intermediate level ride. The group includes mixed paces averaging 13 - 15+ mph. NO DROPS: The leader will sweep behind the group or wait ahead at strategic points/turns along the route, as needed, so nobody gets left behind. Faster riders who are familiar with the course and who prefer to ride ahead are encouraged to do so; they need not wait at regroup points. DIRECTIONS TO RIDE & PICNIC START: Triunfo Canyon Rd. in Westlake Village, just west of the dam, Westlake Tennis Club and little yacht club building. From the 101 Freeway, take Lindero Canyon south until it ends at Triunfo. Go right on Triunfo a couple hundred yards. You will see a grassy area. Park along the curb. PICNIC: First Thursday of each month. All club members and their guests are invited. For our June 5th picnic, I will bring bottled water, fruit, cheese and crackers to get us started. Feel free to bring your own snacks to share as well. Bring a chair or a blanket to sit on and an extra layer for warmth, just in case. QUESTIONS: Email or call Sherrie at hatoolah(a)msn.com / 908.432.3480. SAFETY NOTES: 1. A helmet is mandatory. 2. I.D., water or sports drink, a snack, cell phone. 3. Have on your bike or person everything you need to change a flat: spare tube(s), CO2 cartridges or hand pump, patch kit. 4. Please do not call out “clear” at intersections and turns. 5. If you hear someone call out “clear” while approaching a turn or intersection, or anywhere else for that matter, please disregard it and make your own decision about the safety status of the turn or intersection. 6. If you start with the group but decide to cut the ride short or take a different route, please let me know. CVC Inclement Weather Policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining 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. Regards, Sherrie Felton
