Petros
by Sheri L 18 Dec '24

18 Dec '24

Hi CVC, As many of you know, our Petros still remains in the hospital. He is showing some improvement each day and is now one step out of ICU, but it will be a long time until he comes home. In the meantime, his family is staying with his wife, and they are SO appreciative of the meal train that Donna has set up for him. It has helped them tremendously. They are at the hospital much of the day and evening and not having to worry about shopping or meals has been such a blessing to them. They appreciate all the love and support. I am going to put the sign up out again since not many people have signed up for after Christmas. Please take a look at another day that may work for you. Even if we have every other day covered in January, that would be helpful. I am hopeful he will return home in January but will need much care. Here is the link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C044BABA92FA64-53697671-meal#/ Please feel free to pass it to other people that may know Petros and his family. Thanks for being such a caring CVC family. -- Sheri

Thursday's fun ride
by jerry blkdog.net 18 Dec '24

18 Dec '24

Meet at Starbucks 9am Thursday morning. Something a little different with a stop at Honey Cup Coffeehouse and Creamery. The midweek rides have passed by it on Via Las Brisas the last few years and occasionally someone will ask why we don't try stopping there. So, this Thursday we will. We will make it a quick stop. They do offer more than just coffee. 32 miles and 2000' https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49282278 Jerry Scott 805 404-8525 jerry(a)blkdog.net

SAVE THE DATE Jan. 4th and Jan. 8th
by Sheri L 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

Hello CVC'rs, 2025 is upon us. Let's get ready for new CVC gear! We have set 2 days to try on the new sample products in various sizes. Mark your calendars! We'll have samples to try on so you feel comfortable wearing our new voted upon gear. We will have the new addition of full length pants as well. We will be offering the top two colors. See attached. The samples are NOT matching ours, but are for sizing purposes only so you can see what size to order. *Saturday, January 4th* after the ride. Time will be firmed up. No worries, we'll all have time to go home, shower, and change. *Wednesday, January 8th* in the evening. We'll call it a happy hour to make us chipper to try on new clothes after the holidays! Either day is fine. Whatever works for you. Actual times will be updated. My address is 1994 Cumulus Court, Thousand Oaks. ( By Sunset Hills and Erbes) I'm excited about 2025!! See you at the rides.
