Mountain Bike Skills Class by CORBA
by Kent Koral 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

Everyone, if you are an MTB rider…new, or experienced, keep reading! CORBA puts on an MTB skills clinic once a month. It is this coming Saturday (See the link below for details). Whether you are a brand new or a seasoned veteran rider, you will get something out of this class. I have done it twice over the years and every time it either reminds me, or teaches me something that I didn’t know, or had forgotten. I absolutely encourage every MTB rider to get out and take this clinic. See the link below for more information. If you can’t make this instance, they have them once a month. Go take this clinic, I guarantee you will be glad you did!! One other thing, if you are a gravel rider, and have access to a mountain bike that you can use for the day, you would also benefit greatly from this class. https://corbamtb.com/programs/skills.shtml Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

Gravel Bike Survey Results
by Sheri L 19 Jun '23

19 Jun '23

CVC Members, The Gravel Ride Survey results are attached. Thank you to everyone who participated. We ended up with 27 responses, which indicates that there is significant interest in gravel cycling. Based on what we learned, the club will take the following actions: *TWO GRAVEL RIDES EACH MONTH* There will be two Sunday gravel rides each month. One will be an easier ride on the *first Sunday*, and the other will be a more challenging ride on the *third Sunday*. By offering these on a consistent basis, we hope to make it easier to plan ahead and participate. *EASIER RIDES* These will take place on the *first Sunday* of every month. They will be tailored for people with little gravel riding experience, but of course everyone is welcome to join. These will be no-drop rides with frequent re-groups as needed. No singletrack! The routes will remain relatively close to paved roads in case someone wants to bail out. *MORE CHALLENGING RIDES* These will take place on the *third Sunday* of every month. They will be suitable for intermediate or advanced gravel riders. These may have singletrack sections as well as steep climbs and more difficult surface conditions. We will try to make these gravel rides more apparent on the weekly ride announcements. *GRAVEL BIKES* Several people asked about gravel bikes. In essence, they are road bikes with fatter tires and lower gearing. But it's no surprise that there are many variations. Rather than give recommendations, we suggest you visit one of the many bike shops in our area. In addition, there are many introductory videos on Youtube and the internet regarding gravel biking. You can also ask other club members, especially our gravel ride leaders. Mountain Bikes are welcome on all our gravel rides. Thanks to all who participated. Hope to see you out there joining these rides. As you continue to ride the gravel rides, please feel free to provide feedback. Watch for gravel rides in the weekly ride announcements!
