Dear CVC, We have been asked to invite mountain bike members to volunteer with the Great Race on Saturday, April 1. Are you familiar with the Great Race? In its 38th year, the Great Race in Agoura Hills is one of the largest running events in the Los Angeles area and has donated more than $1.7 million to schools in Agoura Hills and Oak Park. It also contributes to Food Share of Ventura County. One of the 6 races we offer is the Chesebro Half marathon. Most of this race is run through Old Agoura and on trails in Cheesebro National Park. We need mountain bikers to assist with this race to ensure the safety of our runners, and I was hoping your members would be interested. Specifically, Chesebro Half Course Monitor on Mountain Bike 6:00am - 10:00am mountain bike through trail portion of Chesebro Half Marathon course. One person to be pace bike, and be skilled and fast enough to keep ahead of lead runner(s). Must be familiar with course and be able to lead through 7.5 miles of trail portion of race (knowing all the turns). Second and third persons are roving monitors of the course to ensure safety and look for any injuries. Fourth person is sweeper and follows last runners through trail and releases course monitors to leave their positions and clean up. Working with Mark Spiro, Race Coordinator. The timing is 6am - 10am on Saturday, April 1. ATTACHED is the course map and flyer to share. It should be really beautiful up there on April 1!

Hey CVC MTB’rs, The MTB ride did not make it onto the ride announcement because I screwed up and, uh, sent it to myself🙄 But come out on Thursday and join us for a nice romp through Dos Vientos. We will start at Wendy and Potrero and roll out at 5:30 PM. This is a fun, easy route at a nice easy CVC pace. Bring your E bike, gravel, bike, or heck, hook a trailer to your MTB and drag your kids out there. There’s something fun for everyone😁. See you tomorrow!! https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34586752 Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

Saturday CVC All Level Zwift Ride-Kent
by Kent Koral 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

Hey CVC'rs, now that we have officially cancelled the rides for Saturday, here is the information you need for the Zwift virtual we are doing instead. Tomorrow we will be in Watopia riding the “Sand and Sequoias”. It will utilize the "meetup only view" function and also the “keep everyone together” function. This will also be a Teams meeting so we can chat. See further below for more MS Teams information. As I mentioned in my prior email, you will need to use the Zwift Companion app to *make sure you are following* Kent so that we can add you to the rides if you have not already done so. Please make sure you are following me by 7AM on The day of the ride (you only have to do this once) so that I can have everybody on the invite that wants to ride. for those that are newer to Zwift, you can start the ride up to 30 minutes late....but don't cut it too close. I will leave the ride open from 8:30 until 10:30 am. Also we will use the "keep everyone together" feature. you can google it to get more info, but it basically....keeps us together! As for the social side of this ride, we will utilize Microsoft Teams so we can chat. See the link below to use if you want to be part of the fun. No, you don't have to use video...no one wants to see me on the trainer in my Spiderman PJ's and riding shoes! Microsoft Teams meeting *Join on your computer, mobile app or room device* Click here to join the meeting <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NTkyNTMwMTgtMjI3My00…> Meeting ID: 213 098 087 491 Passcode: mMfNPT Download Teams <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app> | Join on the web <https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-teams/join-a-meeting> Learn More <https://aka.ms/JoinTeamsMeeting> | Meeting options <https://teams.microsoft.com/meetingOptions/?organizerId=215f4b89-6e35-4ac9-…> This may not be as good as the great outdoors....But it beats the couch all day! Feel free to reach out to me via text if you have any questions. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

CVC Zwift virtual ride
by Kent Koral 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

Hey CVC’rs, with tomorrow’s possibility of rain(and possible cancellation of rides-we are still analyzing it since those weather people are wrong sometimes) we are setting an option to having a single, all level Zwift meetup virtual ride for tomorrow morning. I will send out more information later on today. But In the meantime, If you are interested in joining, you need to be following me (Kent) on Zwift Companion so that I can add you to the meetup. If you have not used Zwift Companion in the past, it’s pretty easy, set it up on your phone via either the Google or Apple stores and get yourself signed in. Then do a search for other athletes and look for me under Kent Koral-CVC. Then just hit the follow button. I’ll do the rest. Look for more emails later today from myself and Jerry Scott. Y’all stay safe out there today. Talk soon! Kent. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
