Club Clothing
by Sheri L 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Hey CVC, Many of you have been asking about club clothing. Now is the chance to put in your order for the spring. We have jerseys, bibs, shorts, jackets, vests that fold into the pocket which are great for spring, and arm warmers. These run true to size, so no need to order bigger than regular. Volare Elite is the standard style. Apex looks a little different in the collar. Everyone who got bibs and shorts seems to be happy with the fit. Clothing will be sent directly to your home and take approximately 6 weeks to arrive AFTER the close of the on line store. With our social media, lots of pictures and exposure, you will see you are a stand out in the CVC kit. So enjoy being a part of the club as we ride strong and show strong. Your on line team store is live and ready for orders!

Thursday, biweekly MTB ride
by Kent Koral 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Hey CVC’rs, This Thursday is the bi-weekly CVC MTB ride. There are many of you out there that we have not seen in a while. Would love to get you back out on the ride! We will be taking a very gently paced ride through Sycamore. We are running the classic CVC loop. This is an easy, rolling route, that is mostly gravel roads and blacktop with two sections of pretty gentle single track that have all kinds of fun little weee spots (OK, to be fair, you have to climb that silly hill at the end… but we’ve got off-road gearing for that). This is also an excellent route for gravel bikes! If you have not ridden dirt with us in a while, or are just looking for a nice evening stroll out in the hills….this is it! We will meet at Wendy and Potrero and roll out around 5:30 PM. Come on out and enjoy the canyon at night…it’s gorgeous. As usual, we will enjoy a nice refreshment after the ride! If you have any questions, DM me and I’ll be glad to answer them! Keep in mind this is a night off road ride and you will need sufficient lighting on your bike (along with the usual safety gear required on all CVC rides). Looking forward to seeing you out there!! https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34842648 Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

Special Event Ride
by Sheri L 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

Hey Members, I am bringing you the news of a very special ride coming up in April. It is called "Finish The Ride". This ride takes place in Griffith Park and it is a ride that supports making the streets safer for everyone. You may remember Damian, (he spoke at The Ride of Silence). This is his foundation Wouldn't it be great to have a huge CVC showing there? Ride with your friends on this fun event while supporting a good cause. There are many level routes to choose from. There are even runs! An Away ride in a different place! What is really great is that they offered us a club discount code. Just use promo code CVC20 for a 20% discount on registration. At Finish The Ride and Run events, the air buzzes with the shared energy of fearless beginners and seasoned athletes alike, all uniting under the same banner: making the roads we travel safer, more welcoming, and more embracing for every soul who finds solace on their two feet or pedals. These events are not merely rides and runs; they are a fire that fuels the advocacy work of Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE), an organization of champions committed to fostering safer roads throughout the vibrant tapestry of Southern California. Finish The Run: Saturday 6 April 2024, Finish The Ride: Sunday, 7 April 2024 *Join cyclists, runners, walkers, and many others to enjoy the beautiful scenery and back roads of Griffith Park. Our rides take you on a journey through the park and surrounding areas, and our runs/walks travel around the most tranquil areas of Griffith Park. Top it all off with an expo at our wonderful end-event venue. * *Here is a link to the on line registration. * https://www.streetsareforeveryone.org/finish-the-ride-and-finish-the-run Sheri Leiken CVC President
