CVC WEEKLY RIDE PREVIEW and RACE TEAM NEWS March 1-6 Hi all! Like they say, “March comes in like a lion…”, so this weekend is likely to be rained out, although we may have better luck on Sunday. But, I’ll post the routes anyway so you have some good ‘stuck indoors’ reading. Coming next Saturday is our away ride. Starting in Ventura and doing the Lake Casitas/Carpenteria loop with leaders and routes for each level, it promises to be a beautiful ride, so we definitely have something to look forward to. Saturday: 8:30am at Sprout's parking lot Red-Gary Silver will lead the Crimson Crushers to the coast via Hidden Valley and up Yerba Buena. RideWithGPS route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3949831 Orange-Jim Doane and Jerry Scott pair up to take the Mighty O-Crew up Piuma and down Stunt via Cornell. RideWithGPS route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3977009 Gold-Petros Vasiliou will point the 24 Karats to a Newbury Park out and back via Lynn Rd. RideWithGPS route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/4100331 Purple-Bill Sietsema will lead Fuchsia Force for a Lake Malibou loop via Cornell.

Check your emails for any changes early in the week. Thursday: 5:30pm MTB Ride-Location and route TBA. Check your emails for announcement early in the week. SAFE CYCLING TIP OF THE WEEK: With wet roads it’s always best to deflate your tires 5-10 psi for better traction. Stay vigilant for debris that accumulates on sides of the road, and stay away from anything slippery; manhole covers, painted lanes, leaves. TEAM NEWS The team will be in Carson for the So. Cal. Crit Series on Sunday. After being stuck inside with this rain, the guys will be chomping at the bit to saddle up and put the hammer down on the competition. We “pity the fools” who want to go shoulder to shoulder. Let's wish them all luck! On Sunday, May 25, the team will be racing in town, so put the date in your calendar so that we can all be trackside to cheer them on. That’s all for now, folks. Have a great week!

26 Feb '14

It's 'Wear Your CVC Kit Day', so everyone fly the club colors! CVC GOLD RIDE -- Saturday, March 1, 8:30 AM Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) for announcements; promptly at 8:30 am, then split into our groups to depart. Route: Out and back to Newbury Park via Lynn and Green Meadow bypass. This is a good ride for any Purple folks who'd like to give Gold a try. Ride Specs: 33 Miles, 2700 feet--for extra credit: a lake loop Water & restrooms: On Green Meadow For a detailed map and route slip, go to: hhttp://ridewithgps.com/routes/4100331 Ride leader this week: Petros Vasiliou Safety Tip of the Week: Give your bike a good check up before you ride (or just after every ride). Better to find any problems in the garage than out on the road. Tires, rims, spokes, brake pads, cables, derailleur and chain. If you suspect anything is not right, and you don't work on your own bike, get it to your local shop. It's worth the few dollars charged for labor. Note: If you start with a group, the posted routes are to be followed. If you depart from the group ride or wish to deviate from the posted route for whatever reason, you must pass along the information to the ride leader so that there is no confusion for the other cyclists. The Gold Ride is an Intermediate recreational ride, 30+ miles in length and averaging 12-14 mph. It is mandatory to have & wear a helmet. It is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is in good condition (check expiration on helmet inner tag) and that your bike is in working condition as well. This is a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). If you get to a regrouping spot and no one is there, consider yourself dropped. As always we will try to stick together & have a fun safe ride. We will regroup regularly to allow everyone a chance to ride together. 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. Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Blvd. (between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the Shops/Market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants, we could be asked to park elsewhere.
