by Kent Koral 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

Hey guys, this weeks CVC 2nd & 4th Tuesday night MTB ride will be out at Cheeseboro Canyon. Fun little route that does a lot of fire road in the beginning, climbs up to Cheeseboro Ridge, and then loops back down Cheeseboro Canyon Trail through Sulphur Springs and back to the lot. Really fun, semi climby trail with two or three very short challenging downhill sections. We will roll from the Cheeseboro Canyon trailhead (on Cheeseboro Road in Agoura, don’t park past the gate) at 5:30PM sharp. Don’t forget to charge those lights, and have water, spares and your helmet of course. See below for the route. Going to be fun🥳♨️ Novice to intermediate riders, not suitable for beginners. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34638330 Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

We are running rides on Monday (Kent Koral) and Thursday (Shane Mann) from 5:30pm-7:00PM This time window allows riders some flexibility since you can now join a Zwift meetup up to 30 minutes after it has started (cool!) Monday will be in Watopia riding the "Volcano Flat” route with Kent Koral. It will utilize the "meetup only view" function. We will NOT use the “keep everyone together” (rubber band) function on this ride, but I will keep us all together. This is a recovery ride and we will ride together at a nice easy pace with a few spicy bits here and there (maybe not much spice this week, I have a Glute ouchie) This will be on Zoom. See further below for more Zoom information. https://zwiftinsider.com/routes/ Thursday will be in London riding the “Greater London Flat” route with Shane Mann.

Please make sure you are following us by 4PM on The day of the ride (you only have to do this once) so that we can have everybody on the invite that wants to ride.. For the Zoom meeting rides, make sure you download the Zoom app ahead of time. Then using the link (see below), join the zoom meeting. Zoom will give you the option of transmitting both audio and video out to the meeting, or just audio if you want to forgo the video feed.

Club Store is open!
by Sheri L 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

CVC Team, Your Conejo Valley Cyclist club store is open today and will remain open until 12/6. Here you can purchase club jerseys, bibs, shorts, (THE most comfortable!) arm warmers, gloves, neck gaiters, wind vests and jackets and more! The store closes but orders can take up to 6 weeks. But it is the perfect time to stock up for the new year. A few words about sizing.... please see their sizing chart for accurate measurements. We suggest Volare Elite. Arm warmers and gloves are unisex, so men may need to go up 1 size. The windbreakers and jackets fold into the pocket of themselves... cool! If you have any other questions, let me know. In the meantime, if you are looking for a Medium men's, I have one for immediate purchase. I also have 1 pair of the red/black arm warmers in a medium. Here is the link to the store. You order directly from them and your items will be shipped to your home. http://teamstore.ascendsportswear.com/store/conejo-valley-cyclists/ -- Sheri Leiken CVC President
