by SHERI 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi Riders, I am happy to say, the Wednesday ride is back from its 2 week holiday break for an extra almost 20 minutes of ride time! WOOHOO! We will meet at the Landing, (end of Lindero) by the entrance to the first driveway you hit to go at 3:30. We will aim for about 19 miles with a 15+ avg. If you don't ride as fast, no worries because we will be doing an up and back through Hidden Valley and you won't get lost or dropped because you can turn around at any time. Hope to see you there!

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.
