Sunday Social Ride
by dpssmith＠aol.com 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hi Fellow CVC members and guests, Let's have those faster riders that need a brisker pace or longer ride depart a few minutes earlier. Please be aware of the route to allow those that need to slow the pace to meet at regroup spots. We can always regroup at the same locations allowing those that start earlier with the option to join us later. Options to extend the route could be adding the climb to the top of Piuma. The intent of our Sunday Social Ride is to maintain a pace that allows a conversation within the group of riders in close proximity. Sunday's 9:00 AM the CVC Social Ride is riding to De Anza Park, through Cold Canyon to Piuma returning on Las Virgenes to Mulholland around the lake and returning Cornell Rd. with a finishing lap around Westlake. Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner), this is a longer social route with options to make it shorter. Route: Agoura to DeAnza Park,(Not regrouping until King Gillette Park)Rt. on Las Virgenes Rd, East on Mulholland then right on Cold Canyon Road to Piuma, right on Piuma and re-group at the fire station, Piuma to Las Virgenes, left on Mulholland to Cornell and around the Lake. For a detailed map and route slip, go to: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/772249 Re-grouping Locations: King Gillette Ranch Restroom and Water. Piuma Fire Station Water, restroom is available if the station is open Cornell and Mulholland. 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. It is mandatory to have and ware a helmet and it is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is valid (check expiration on helmet inner tag, usually good for five years) and in good working condition. It is not a "no drop ride" but as always let's try to stick together and have a fun, safe ride. Things to have: Water to complete the ride or at least to reach the next water stop. Tools to perform minor repairs. Chain repair linkage. Inner-tube and inflated device. Cellular phone. Food to replenish energy. 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. After the ride, please join us at one of the many refueling options available at the finish such as Natural Cafe, Sea Casa, East Coast Bagel, Sprouts Market, etc.. 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. See you Sunday, Dale

Sonday Social Ride
by dpssmith＠aol.com 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Hi Fellow CVC members and guests, Please come out and join us for a local social paced ride (14 Mph Avg. Speed). Approximately 25-35 miles and then stay a while to socialize afterwards by having an after-ride beverage and snack. I am sorry I haven't created a ride link yet. Hopefully I can do it before it's posted again. The plan for this Sunday is to head North on Reyes Adobe, cut through the school which puts us on Lindero Cyn., where we will find our way to the Multi Use Path that meanders through Oak Canyon Park. >From there we can take the not too traveled residential side streets to work our way South which puts us at Chumash Park all without having to ride on Kanan. Once there we can choose the return route and/or extension (I.e. Agoura with a Carlisle Canyon loop, Thousand Oaks Blvd to Forrest Cove Park pass though or a Malibou Lake loop). This route uses lightly traveled roads that avoid the traffic of the major streets. After ride socializing - Natural Cafe' Restaurant - Patio and/or front grassy courtyard area. Many options at this location for beverage and food establishments. Things to have: Helmet !!! - Water to complete the ride or at least to reach the next water stop - Tools to perform minor repairs -Chain repair linkage - Inner-tube and pump (or the like) - Cellular phone - Food to replenish energy. See you there!! Dale Note: 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 or market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants we could be asked to park elsewhere.
