Unacceptable cyclist behavior
by Kent Koral 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

On a recent ride that took some of us past the fire station near Lake Sherwood, we were told by one of the fireman that cyclist are once again using the back of the fire station as a toilet. Sadly, this kind of behavior by people that are likely not members of this club, make us all look bad. They wanted us to remind everyone that all are welcome to use the toilet in the station.

CVC Red Ride: Saturday, 1-26-13 (Possible Rain route - closested in)
by James Doane 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi CVC Red Riders : As of now, the weather forecast calls for a 20% ( or maybe less) chance of rain for Sat. but shows Friday day and night at 70% (per NOAA) So if that system stalls - we might get a higher %'age on Sat. The weather will be unsettled from now until Monday however. I'm suggesting a Saturday Red Ride with maximum bail out points should we experience rain along the way: Saturday, 1-26-13 8:30 AM Citibank/Sprouts parking lot ( Westlake Blvd./Agoura/Hampshire Rd.s) Rock Store Upper Encinal Canyon Lechusa & Mulholland Little Sycamore Rd. ( to the LA/Ventura Co. line) - back down to Mulholland Hwy Descend Decker/Westlake Hidden Valley Dos Vientos loop back to Hidden Valley Hidden Valley to Westlake See you Sat. at 8:30am - hoping we have dry conditions ...... remember our... 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. Jim Doane - CVC Red Ride Captain
