CVC Century on Sunday July 31st-830 AM
by John Caffrey 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Greetings, Several CVC members have expressed interest in getting in more miles in preparation for events like "Cool Breeze" (August 20th), Cycle Oregon (September 10th), and other scheduled century rides. With that in mind, lets get it started with a very flat and cool coastal century on Sunday, July 31st, 830 AM. We will start and finish at "Neptunes Net" on PCH. The ride takes us to Carpenteria and back with only 900 feet of climbing (that is a not even a bump in the road for most of the CVC gang). Brig a little cash for Neptunes feast after the ride, route slip attached. (Park on the south side of PCH) The more of us that come out the better! See you then, John Caffrey

2011 CVC Summer Club BBQ - Save the Date - August 27th
by Adam Winer 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Last summer the club held its first and highly successful summer club BBQ. We had 90 club members and their families join for a fun filled afternoon/evening for good food with good friends. Read about last years BBQ and see pictures at http://www.cvcbike.org/?p=2813 Saturday, August 27, 2011, the club will be hosting our 2nd annual summer club BBQ. I will be sending out detailed information soon (as well as an RSVP list), however in the meantime, Save the Date! Date/Time: Saturday August 27, 2011 / 4:00pm - Sunset Location: Oak Canyon Community Park - 5600 Hollytree Dr., Oak Park (On Kanan just East of Lindero). This year we have both Pavilions reserved which is at the top level of the park. Map: http://bit.ly/clQU5h I know this is 2 months away but wanted to get the word out. The club will buy meats to BBQ (Burgers, Chicken, Hot Dogs, etc) with all the condiments. Members, feel free to bring you favorite side dishes to share. **Please note this is an exclusive invite to current CVC members and family only. If you are not a current CVC member and would like to join or renew, you can do so now by following the below link: https://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=12216 Additional Information: #1 You may wonder how many people to plan for in regards to the side dishes you will be bringing. Since we will have quite a large group, it would not be reasonable to plan to have a portion for everyone. If your side dish could feed 10 people, that would be adequate as we will have a lot of side dishes from our members to choose from. The club will buy meats to BBQ (Burgers, Chicken, Hot Dogs, etc). Members, feel free to bring you favorite side dishes to share. #2 NO alcohol is allowed on park property. #3 If you are a vegetarian or vegan, please let me know so items can be planned accordingly. #4 One more thing, you MUST have fun! There are some fun child (and adult) related parts of the park right by the Pavilion we have reserved. Play areas with playground equipment as well as a cool splash pad / water play area. Any other questions, please reply to me directly. ------ Adam Winer Conejo Valley Cyclists, President http://www.cvcbike.org/

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday June 26th - 9:00am
by Adam Winer 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Note: As the weather starts to warm up, we have the option of moving the Sunday ride start time to 8:30am. If/when the decision is made to effectuate a new start time, there will be an announcement forthcoming in order to give adequate notice. For this Sunday we will be meeting at 9:00am as usual. CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday June 26th - 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
