Standard Santa Barbara Away Ride
by James Doane 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Hi All I've just been advised that the 9:00am Stearn's Wharf meeting location = "Standard" SB Away Ride for tomorrow will be less attended as was anticipated and subsequently without a specific ride leader so for those of you that do show up, please organize yourselves in a riding group and/or print the route slip so that you can follow the perscribed route. There might be those of you that have another route in mind so feel free to modify the route by announcing a different route. Weather still looks great - so have a nice ride. I am still planning on leading the Tucker's Grover Park - Gibralter Rd. climb route as was previously announced - so we're good to go on that ride. Jim Doane - CVC

by dpssmith＠aol.com 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hi CVC Members and Guests, Our revised G.O. Ride formerly called the Sunday Social Ride is typically 35 to 45 miles long with 2,200 to 4,200 feet of climbing and an average speed of 13 to 15 mph. As usual, we will meet at the Citibank parking lot and have our pre-ride announcements promptly at 9:00 AM then splitting into our groups and departing. This Sundays G.O. Ride is as follows: 37.5 miles. 2974 feet climbing. Route: Westlake to Arboles left on Parkview then a Left on Erbes follow by a Right on La Granada, we will ride up Lynn to Dos Vientos and returning on Portrero. This route is recent addition to the rotation so have a route slip if you are unfamiliar with these directions. For a detailed map and route slip, go to: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3344419 Regrouping Locations: Westlake and Arboles. La Granada and Erbes rolling re-group Greenmeadow multi use path. Dos Ventos Community Center for Restroom and Water This is a "drop ride" meaning that if you can't keep up with the group, and/or catch up within the re-group times - you are "on your own" to know the route from previous knowledge or by following the route slip. It is possible and/or probable that members can assist others with mechanical & other rider emergencies along the route however. Our re-group spots are meant to allow a short break & a chance for riders to catch up so that the group can ride together as much as is possible. 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 the official 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 Bl.(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. Have fun and ride safe, Dale --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Sat. 12-14-13 CVC "Local" Red Ride
by James Doane 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hi All: As previously announced, I'm going to be leading (from the back) one of this Sat.'s Santa Barbara Away Rides - the Gibralter climb. As for a "local" Red Ride route - I hesitate to make the ride decision for you as I assume that you can organize yourselves and decide upon a local red ride of your own choosing and/or ride with the Orange riders? Please advise if someone does have a red ride suggestion and is willing to be the leader and I will make the ride announcement to our member's list. Creative, out of the box ride routes are encouraged too. Looks like all of us will have perfect riding weather this week-end. Let's all get out and ride! Jim Doane - CVC

CVC News-changes to your CVC Board of Directors
by Kent Koral 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hi CVC'rs, Last weekend we had our CVC Holiday mixer at Bellinis and we had a nice turnout. I want to again thank Sheila Sherwyn for organizing the soiree for us. During the party, we made a few announcements regarding the make-up of the CVC Board and other committees. For starters, I will be stepping down as your President as of Dec 31st. I have loved being of service to the club as President the last 2 years and working with everyone to try and make this the best cycling club around. Stepping down is particularly easy for me since I know that Henry Montalvo will be stepping in right behind me as your new CVC President! I am very confident that Henry will do a spectacular job at the helm, and bring his usual high level of energy and effort to the post. I will continue to be on the Board of Directors as Cruisin' the Conejo co-director with Lee Cole (who will be leaving his post as Cruisin' Director after the 2014 edition so he can more focus on the moto road-race team he and his son have formed) . Other changes to the board will be that we are happy to welcome Sheri Leiken, who will fill Henry Montalvo's vacated position as Membership Director. Caitlin Steel will continue as Treasurer (and continue her attempt to keep me and Henry in line with varying levels of success), and Alison Amagasu as Public Relations/Social Media Director (stoked to have her as the digital face of the club). We will be filling the vacant Secretary board position early next year and we are still needing to fill the ride director board position. We also have some new committee chair people coming on board. Bruce Fleck will be our new Website Committee Chairperson. He is going to help us get our website running and working the way we want it to. We still would like to add a Charity Committee Chairperson to help with our charitable contributions. Please contact the board if you would like to be involved. Again, Thank you for allowing me to be involved in such a great organization!! Sincerely, Kent Koral President (for now) Conejo Valley Cyclists (818) 802-0826
