Bike Build Volunteers needed at Newbury Park Bike Shop!
by Sheri L 22 May '23

22 May '23

Conejo Valley Cyclists, I wanted to present you with a very cool volunteering opportunity. Newbury Park Bike Shop needs *our *help. Newbury Park Bike Shop in coordination with Giant Bicycles is providing a large donation of bikes to children of Conejo Elementary School. They are looking for help from anyone able to volunteer to assist us in building 100 bikes on Thursday May 25th between 4-7 pm. I would like anyone who is interested in volunteering to RSVP to Ben ahead of time so he can get the appropriate amount of pizzas, salads, drinks etc. and communicate some day of logistical information. You need not be experienced, but it is YOUR hands that are needed. If you have tools, please bring, but this is NOT required by any means. You can help unpack, help with boxes, tighten, assist, but it takes an entire community to make this happen and WE are the community.* This is for THIS Thursday!!!! Please try to find a way to make it happen even if you cannot start at 4. * *This is a very cool and generous contribution to be a part of. * For more information on the program they are supporting, check out the recent article from the VC Star. https://www.vcstar.com/story/news/education/schoolwatch/2023/03/13/conejo-s… Thanks, Ben Cox CEO Newbury Park Bicycle Shop, Inc. 1602 Newbury Rd. Newbury Park, Ca. 91320 (805) 499-8857 Fax (805) 498-7714 ext 104 www.NPBikeshop.com -- Sheri

Desperate for help for Ride of Silence!
by Sheri L 16 May '23

16 May '23

Hi All, We are in need of ONE volunteer for this event. Please help out or a family member can come help! We need just one person to stay with our PA system as Kent cannot put it away before the ride takes off as we all start together with a formal send off from the TOPD. Please let me know if you or a family member can come help out tomorrow during the ride. Bring your phone, watch videos, but watch our PA system. A teenager can do this. Please let me know ASAP. Thank you, -- Sheri

Ride of Silence-THIS WEDNESDAY!
by Sheri L 14 May '23

14 May '23

Dear CVC, Your club, CVC, along with the City of Thousand Oaks, and Pedago Electric Bikes will be hosting the local Ride of Silence. Let's bring awareness to the drivers of the Conejo Valley, stressing the importance of motor vehicles being cautious and patient with cyclists. This is a *NATION WIDE* event: Riders all over the world will participate in a ride of silence on May 17th. Please come show your support at our local level for cyclists all over the globe, for those you know who have had an accident and remembering and honoring the many hundreds of people we have lost in this world due to cars. This ride will allow us as cyclists, to bring attention to the drivers, and city officials to create a safer environment for all of us. This year, we have a special speaker, Damian Kevitt, who was personally affected by tragedy on the road. He was dragged under a car 1/4 of a mile down Interstate 5 and not only miraculously survived, but still rides, despite his massive physical challenges. He will share his story with us as he fights for Safe Streets For Everyone. Thank you for coming and riding slowly to show your support to all those hit and killed on the road. All level riders are invited. This will be a slow moving ride, as we ride in procession through our city streets. Sheri Leiken CVC President [image: ride of silence.png]
