CVC Saturday Orange Ride 5-7-11 8:30am Citibank Parkin
by Kent Koral 04 May '11

04 May '11

Hi All, Well, its time to get back at it after many of us were off the bike last week for Cruisin. Sooo... A nice coast run is in order. Norm Weir is going to lead the Orange ride for me this week, and Norm wants to hit the coast. Y'all are going up Rockstore, across Mulholland, down Encinal to PCH and then back up Mulhollond to Westlake. Around 40 Miles with 4900' of climbing. If you want to see the complete route in detail and print out a route slip, go to: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/396974 As usual, we will meet at the Citibank parking lot at 8:30and have our pre-ride announcements prior to splitting into our groups and departing. The Orange ride is an intermediate/advanced recreational ride 40 to 50 miles in length with an average pace of 15+mph. It is not a "no drop ride" but as always let's try to stick together and have a fun,safe ride. 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. 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 on Saturday! Kent Koral CVC Ride Director (818) 802-0826

A Cruisin' thank you
by Lee Cole 01 May '11

01 May '11

Hi everyone, Another Cruisin' is in the books and a successful one it was in spite of the wind we had. A quick note to tell all the CVC members who helped, Thank You! Emails are beginning to come in mentioning a great event, how well the stops were, a good SAG program, how well the start / finish went, the great BBQ, raffle, and most of all how helpful everyone was. Without your help Cruisin' would not have been that good nor as successful. Every job mattered and your dedication was evident. More on this years Cruisin' to come. Thank you one and all for your help, Lee Cole CVC Cruisin' Director

Cruisin help
by Lee Cole 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Cruisin' is less than 24 hours away and wanted to put out a note. There is a need for an additional member to help with the 12 Mile Junior Tour. This will stay close to the start / finish. Please let me or Joan Sauber know if you can help. Many of you have volunteered for general help Friday afternoon and Saturday morning or evening. There will be set up going on from 4:00am through 9:00am. The earliest part of set up is taken care of so if you have offered to be of general help come on by around 6:30 and we will put you to work. You can get in touch with me by email or my cell. It is (805) 732-5982. For those who offered help In the afternoon Friday about 4:00. Saturday around 4:00 we will begin to close down and will need more as time goes on from there. In between we are looking for anyone to be there meeting people, letting others know about CVC and Cruisin'. Many of you have volunteered for specific jobs and We noticed as registration built there were a lot of riders out there, in our local community that are not members of CVC. They do not have to be but coming to Cruisin' and meeting current CVC members they may want to consider joining. We would also like you to wear our new CVC jersey's if possible. The more they see CVC is out there the better. We want them to know who puts this event on. Cruisin' the Conejo is all new this year with many new ideas and visions. We hope you will be able to come by and check out all that is offered. Thank you for all your help, Lee Cole CVC Cruisin' Director (805) 732-5982

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday May 1st - 9:00am
by Adam Winer 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday May 1st - 9:00am Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) Route: Reyes Adobe / Lindero MUP / Forrest Cove 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. ------ Adam Winer socialride(a)cvcbike.org
