by Kent Koral 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

Hi CVC MTB’rs, this is what we have going for this weeks bi-weekly Thursday MTB ride. We will ride Ahmanson Ranch & Lasky Mesa, Via Las Virgenes, a crew favorite! This is a fun ride that loops up Las Virgenes Canyon, over the top of Hidden Hills on Laskey Mesa and Back. Great views of the Valley on fairly gentle single track and fire roads. There are a few short, semi steep sections We will meet at the very North end of Las Virgenes Rd and ride at 5:30 sharp. Make sure you have your charged lighting system, helmet, water and spares. This is a novice to intermediate ride (not suitable for beginners). With the little weather warm up we are seeing the latter part of this week, the temperatures will be perfect for getting dirty in the dark!!! https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34585766 Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

From Rob-Gravel Bike Leader
by Sheri L 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

As you all may know, I was involved in a serious accident. I was struck by a truck going up westlake when the motorist made a left turn into me. I wanted to make you all aware of uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage that you can purchase through your auto policy. Unfortunately after an accident all you can collect for damages from the driver that hit you, is the limit to their policy, (unless you also sue them). Fortunately you can buy UM/UIM and have more coverage to help with your bills. So I just want to remind you of this so you can max out your UM/UIM coverage like I did 2 or 3 yrs ago. Thanks Rob K Uninsured motorist coverage kicks in when the other party is uninsured or underinsured. 1. What is uninsured motorist insurance coverage in California? *California* law requires drivers to maintain so-called “15/30/5” liability insurance. 15/30/5 means that if the insured is at fault for an *auto accident*, the insurer will pay up to: - $15,000 for bodily injury coverage or death per person, - $30,000 for total bodily injury or death per accident (to all people in the other vehicle combined), and - $5,000 for property damage (collision coverage) to the other vehicle. Automobile insurance is available in *California* in higher amounts than the minimum insurance limits of 15/30/5. Many companies, for instance, offer up to $100,000 per person and $300,000 for total bodily injury per accident. But many drivers cannot afford or are unwilling to pay the premiums for such insurance. This shifts the burden of paying for medical expenses and other damages after a *car accident* to private health insurers or government programs such as Medicare and Medi-Cal. To remedy this California law requires insurers to offer drivers *coverage* for accidents caused by uninsured drivers. This coverage is known as uninsured motorist coverage, or UMC. And it is comprised of uninsured motorist bodily injury (UMBI) and uninsured motorist property damage (UMPD). 2. What is underinsured motorist coverage? Even when California drivers do pay for *insurance*, they often elect coverage at the minimum amount. These amounts are often too low to cover damages for all but minor fender benders. They are particularly inadequate in cases of serious accidents when there are multiple occupants in the car. Under-insured motorist coverage treats the other driver as uninsured for damages in excess of the at-fault driver’s policy limits up to the policy limit of the driver with the *underinsured* motorist coverage. 3. Do I need uninsured motorist coverage if I have health insurance? Private health plans and programs such as Medicare and MediCal will pay medical costs after a car accident regardless of whose fault the accident was. But many people have policies with high deductibles and copays. And health insurance plans do not cover services such as chiropractic care and acupuncture. Nor will they pay to fix *property* damages to cars or cover lost work time or pain and suffering. UMC/UIM is first-party insurance that allows plaintiffs to recover from their own insurance company for *all* their compensatory damages after an accident that is not their fault. 4. How much UMC/UIM do I need? *California* insurers generally offer customers uninsured/underinsured policy limits equal to a driver’s liability policy limits. So, for instance, if a driver has purchased 50/100 limits for accidents that they cause, they can usually purchase 50/100 policy limits for accidents caused by other drivers who are uninsured or under-insured. In California, a driver may not collect more for injuries caused by an uninsured or underinsured motorist than the amount of insured’s policy limits. This is different than in some states (such as Nevada) in which uninsured motorist claim policies cover *all* damages caused by uninsured or under-insured drivers. *A California umbrella policy offers extra coverage* A driver who wants more insurance than the maximum UMC/UIM coverage available in California must purchase an umbrella policy. Umbrella policies are relatively inexpensive and can be applied to cover excess losses under *any* policy of insurance carried at the maximum available limits. You should discuss your needs with your insurance broker. But generally speaking, to waive uninsured motorist coverage is not a good idea unless you have very very good health insurance and either do not work or have a very comprehensive disability insurance policy. -- Sheri

Clothing and Accessories
by Sheri L 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

Clothing Reminder: Store will close at the end of the week. Take a look at some of the clothing. For these mixed days, I would highly recommend a wind vest. This is lightweight but gives good coverage against breeze and gives some good warmth when used with arm warmers. The vest folds inside of the pocket of itself and has a drawstring to pull it so it can fit nicely in your jersey pocket. Team Store Web Address: teamstore.ascendsportswear.com/store/conejo-valley-cyclists/ <https://sender13.zohoinsights.com/ck/2d6f.327230a/0e946e40-3333-11ec-8632-5…> We suggest the Volarie Elite line for the most traditional fit. These do not run small, so please order your regular size. You can also use their sizing chart or.... just ask. And as last reminder, it is not too late to contribute to the Nosco Foundation. https://mikenosco.com/ -- Sheri

Sad News
by president＠cvcbike.org 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Dear CVC, As many of you may have heard, we lost our former Ride Director and friend, Bart Ziegler. This is posted from his son: I regret to inform you all that Bart has passed away this morning 10/28/21, around 8:45am. Rest In Peace. I ask that if you have any questions please reach out to my Facebook profile, Tristan Casadei I would also like any of you who have pictures of Bart through his life to either post here on his page with some words, or DM them directly to me. He was a man who gave so much love, so I am sure many of you returned that love and are feeling a great deal of pain now. Just know that he is free now, and in a place full of love and understanding. Following is a summary of his last weeks here with us. As most of you know, Bart was a fighter. A man who never gave up easily. But after attempting to recover from his 3rd heart attack, his body was just put under too much stress. His heart was mostly dead and functioning at only 10%, creating a slippery slope of other health issues including kidney and liver failure. The original plan of getting a heart transplant failed due to a multitude of reasons, and the pain in his body became too great for an attempted recovery. After I arrived On Sunday 10/24, Bart refused life sustaining treatments and asked for comfort management for his way out. On Tuesday 10/26 he was moved into a beautiful hospice facility, Cottage of the Meadows, in Yakima, Washington. His closest relatives were able to visit him here, and say their final goodbyes as he faded away. He had no pain or discomfort in his last days, only love and support. I will post updates regarding plans for his memorial celebration. I ask today that you take a moment to reflect and reminisce on any memories you have with Bart, and send love to him in his after life. Much Love, Tristan
