CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday April 24th - 9:00am
by Adam Winer 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

CVC Sunday Social / Recovery Ride -- Sunday April 24th - 9:00am Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) I won’t be around this weekend. If someone can please take charge and lead the Social Ride I would appreciate it. Hidden Valley / Green Meadow MUP Route Come out and join us for a social paced recovery ride (14 Mph Average Speed/Pace). 30 miles maximum and stay a while to socialize afterwards by having an after-ride beverage and snack. Please remember this is a social paced recovery ride and while that may mean slightly different paces for different people, I attempt to keep the group together as a whole on these rides. The theory is to recover from our Saturday training rides and socialize. Off we will go through Hidden Valley and climb up the hill to Treasure Hill Ranch. A quick descent to a right on Reino Drive where we then take Lynn Road to Green Meadow Drive and cut though the well hidden Multi Use Path behind the Los Robles Golf Course which runs us out on to Moorpark Road. Down Moorpark Road and up our new favorite hill, Las Padres Drive which connects un into the surgical center on Halland Drive which parallels the 101 FWY to Rancho Road. From there up Rancho Road to La Granada Drive where it connects to Conejo School Road. Down Conejo School Road through a few more lightly traveled residential streets and back. After ride socializing - Natural Cafe' Restaurant - Patio and/or front grassy courtyard area. Many options at this location for beverage and food establishments.　 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. ------ Adam Winer socialride(a)cvcbike.org

Hi All, Last week, we had some pretty warm Temps and many decided to stick with rides that stayed away from the Valley. At the last minute, Orange decided to ride Stunt/Piuma. This week we are going to indeed do the Topanga/Old Topanga Route. Agoura Rd-Las Virgenes-Mureau Rd-Calabasas Park-Mulholland-Topanga Canyon-Old Topanga Canyon and back Mulholland to Cornell and Agoura rd. It ends up being a 46 miler with around 4400' of climbing. If you want to see the complete route in detail and print out a route slip, go to: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/203070 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. *Now that the new Sprouts market is opening soon, we need to be careful to only park in the area of the lot near Westlake Bl. Please do not park in any of the spots between the middle drive aisle and the stores. Not doing so could affect our ability to park in this lot.* See you on Saturday Kent Koral CVC Ride Director (818) 802-0826
