January Safety Message *Good one
by Sheri L 15 Jan '26

15 Jan '26

For the safety message this week, we are posting an article from Cycling Savvy about negotiating diverging traffic lanes. Diverging lanes occur when traffic lanes cross bicycle lanes so that cars can enter or exit freeway ramps. Often, diverging lanes occur in quick sequence—1st when traffic in the far right traffic lane (to the left of the bike lane) crosses the bike lane to enter the freeway, and second, when traffic exiting the freeway crosses the bike lane to merge into the far left traffic lane. 4 examples on CVC rides come to mind: 1. Olson crossing the 23 on the way to Wood Ranch (and the way back), 2. Tierra Rejada east across the 23 from Moorpark (and back), 3. Las Virgenes north from Agoura Road across the 101, and 4. Ventu Park south from Hillcrest to Lynn. Each of these intersections requires careful negotiation. The article attached, and the embedded videos illustrate the complex decision-making involved. If your route takes you across these complicated intersections, spend a minute in advance to formulate a plan to navigate across.

Just a reminder and hope to see many many many of you tomorrow at 10 o’clock at Triunfo Park. From there, we will be riding to see PETROS and then you are on your own wherever you may want to go whether it be back or a rock store or the old place or a lake lap. It will be a very emotional visit with him and I look forward to seeing Petros and all of the love and support that he can have around him! Sheri

[Conejo Valley Cyclists] Saturdays rides start at the Landing and Sundays at Starbucks Saturday start time change. All rides start at 9am. Petros Vasiliou could use our help. Petros Vasiliou has been selected as our recipient for the Michael P. Nosco foundation. Here's his story and I'm hopeful through this amazing community we can help change his life! Petros is an avid cyclist and on December 2, 2024 (1-year ago!), while out for his lunchtime ride along PCH, was hit from behind by a vehicle, nearly taking his life. He had full-body traumatic injuries, was in a coma for a month and has a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). He currently requires care 24/7. Petros and his family could use Love, Hope and Community (which is all of us) Please join us on Sunday January 11th for a road bike ride in his honor. The ride will start/finish at Triunfo Park, 980 Aranmoor Ave, Westlake Village CA 91362, The ride will roll at 10am, and we will ride as a group over to where Petros is currently living and receiving his care. Meadowbrook at Agoura Hills assisted living. Showing up as a group can have a profound effect on his and his family's life. After this stop, ride at your own pace up and over the world famous "Rock Store" climb, taking in some of the most scenic views, ride across Mulholland before dropping back down in to Westlake. If you would like to do a short version and just go to his facility and back, this will be about 15 miles. If you cannot go at all, please make a donation. Link is below. This ride is free (donations are greatly appreciated and can be made at www.mikenosco.com<http://www.mikenosco.com>), CVC Biweekly Social MTB, January @ 5:30pm Location: Wendy and Potrero Lighting mandatory.
