20 Dec '12

Hi Everyone, Do to possible rain Sunday Let's keep it close to home... CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday, December 23rd - 9:00am Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) Route: Reyes Adobe / Lindero MUP Come out and join us for a local social paced ride (14 Mph Avg. Speed). Approximately 25-30 miles and then stay a while to socialize afterwards by having an after-ride beverage and snack. 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.

Wed. Afternoon and weekday rides
by sheri 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi! I may bow out of this Wednesday's ride due to cold weather predicted (and I still have a sore throat.) If by chance it warms up a bit, I may feel different. Look for a Wednesday morning announcement but be in touch with me if you have interest. But... for fun, as Dennis has said. I plan on leading the next two Wednesdays (after this one) on a Wednesday morning. It will be the day AFTER Christmas, and the day AFTER New Years. If you would like to join me, please look for an announcement. A 9:00 am start time at Sprouts will be the place... Look for the route to come! Sheri ohsheri2005(a)sbcglobal.net

Social Ride Cancelled
by dpssmith＠aol.com 16 Dec '12

16 Dec '12

Hi Everyone, In the interest of bicycle safety it is best that we cancel the official Social Ride. With it being wet yesterday there were several close calls where riders had difficulty stopping and avoiding other riders. The roads here seam to be much wetter than yesterday and it doesn't look like they will dry anytime soon. Sorry about the short notice. Be safe, Dale
