CVC IMPORTANT Reminders
by Sheri L 08 Apr '25

08 Apr '25

CVC, A few reminders: Clothing store* closes on Sunday*. We will not reopen again until June, so grab your new jersey, or shorts, whatever you need, and go look good in your good looking new kit. The link to the online store is: teamstore.agile-sportswear.com/store/conejo-valley-cyclists/ *Ride Leaders Meeting:* Please come to the meeting if you are a current ride leader, or want to hear more about volunteering in the club in the future. There will be some changes we will go over and we want everyone who is interested to hear. We are really in need of ride leaders of all levels all the time, and truly would appreciate leadership at the gold level where Denise has been stepping in for the last few years! The ride leaders meeting is at 6:00. PLEASE RSVP Wesley Thomas is the company Kent works for and is in the industrial complex in Newbury Park. Here is that address: 2545 W Hillcrest Dr # 205, Newbury Park, CA 91320 (you actually turn on Lawrence to get in) *Also*, if you are interested in serving on the board of directors, we are interested in those who can step up into a leadership role. (I warn you, the pay is not good) but volunteering and giving back to the club that has brought you so much, is the best paycheck! Please come talk to me or email me! -- Sheri Leiken CVC President

tuesday special morning
by Sheri L 06 Apr '25

06 Apr '25

Tuesday Riders, We will be starting off with a little twist on Tuesday morning. At the ride start, there will be a team of people from Acorn Bar, a protein, gluten free, vegan bar. They have a professional photographer coming and will be "using" us as "models" and tasters for this bar. See the info below: Acorn Bar (www.acornbar.com and @acornbar, #acornbar) As mentioned, we'll be taking lifestyle photos for this season to show how cyclists enjoy the bars (check out their IG and/or FB pages to see what types of images we've done in the past) to help them get the energy they need before or after a ride. Please let your riders know that for photography sake, it's best to not wear any gear with large logos - solids and subtle patterns work best. We're lucky to have Mendy Walsh as our photographer (photographybymendy.com) who makes everyone look amazing! We will arrive around 8:15 to ensure we don't miss anyone before they take off on their route, and will want to get a mix of shots of individual riders, group shots, and casual active shots; if you think of ways to maximize our time and get the shots we need please let me know. I've attached a photo release form for your review; we request that each person sign the form, but respect someone who may be hesitant to be a part of the experience and/or sign a form. I'll be sure to bring copies of the form to the event. We're looking forward to having fun and capturing some amazing moments of everyone enjoying the outdoors with an Acorn Bar. We can't thank you enough for agreeing to be a part of this day! Let's go ride 7 min. Hill out and back. Ride will leave at 9, but come early for the hoopla!!!!! -- Sheri
