09 Oct '11

Hey MTB'rs, This week Sycamore Canyon is up in our rotation. We will meet at the trail head on Portrero and Wendy. Be ready for a 6PM start. I will not be riding this week due to previous plans, so come up with a easy going route among yourselves and have fun. If anyone would like to take the helm, that would be great. The Tuesday MTB night ride is a no drop ride so lets stay together and have a fun safe time. Be sure to have a light capable of lighting a dark trail and lasting at least 2.5 hours and bring a spare tube & pump at a minimum. See you Tuesday night Kent Koral CVC Ride Director 818-802-0826

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday October 9th - 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. ------ Adam Winer socialride(a)cvcbike.org

Hi everyone, This weekend would traditionally be our Club away ride, but we have decided to lend support to the Share the Road ride in Simi on 10-15-2011. Anyone who is interested in the ride and the foundation can see an excerpt below from Adam's email last week on the subject. We will still have a complete selection of our regular rides going from Westlake on that day. .....Long time club supporter and club member Dr. Jonathan Kurohara emailed me and asked that I spread the word about a charity ride that he is working medical support for.The ride is the 2nd annual Share the Road ride benefiting The Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation. Here is the link to their webpage with all pertinent info: http://www.sslf.org/bike-ride.html Thanks Kent Koral

Tomorrow afternoon, I will again have a full compliment of short sleeve CVC club cycling jerseys in stock available for club members. Jerseys are $47.00 each and are full zipper length. I also have (1) Medium and (1) Large CVC wind jacket in stock as well. Cost is $63.00 for the wind jacket. These will go fast. If your interested secure your item with me ASAP ! Please see the below link for a sizing chart and notice there are two charts, one for Pro (Club) cut and other for Euro (Race) cut. Sizing Chart is located at http://www.canari.com/custom/information/sizing/ Jerseys: What is the difference between pro-fit & euro-fit? * Pro-Fit (AKA Club Fit) is a more relaxed fit. A Pro Fit jersey provides approximately 2 extra inches all around versus our Euro-Fit. * Euro-Fit (AKA Race Fit) is a snugger, tighter, more tapered fit. ------ Adam Winer Conejo Valley Cyclists, President http://www.cvcbike.org/
