CVC RIDE PREVIEW July 4-July 12 CVC Kit Day this Saturday Ride while flying the club colors! -UPCOMING- Coastal Coffee Ride-Saturday, July 12 We're in the Tour de France mood and want to go a little European, so we'll do a nice ride along the coast from Leo Carrillo to Ventura and stop for coffee and snacks on the way back at the cyclist friendly Sandbox Coffeehouse. For you data driven souls, that'll add 15-20 extra minutes to the ride but, hey, c'est la vie! So clear your calendars and get those "honey do's" done so we can all enjoy another great day in the saddle. It's a little more than Metric Century and virtually flat, so you can do as little or as much as you want. More details as the date approaches. -RIDES FOR THIS WEEK- Please familiarize yourselves with a posted route beforehand. The ride leaders can't be everywhere and we don't want anyone lost. Friday, July 4th: 9am at The Landing parking lot “Stars ’n Stripes ’n Bikes Ride”—Let’s burn a few calories before we fire up the barby! A nice patriotic spin through Hidden Valley should do the trick. Anything with red, white, and blue is not required, but welcomed! Get the legs warmed up for Saturday’s canyon rides. Lots of options for those wanting more mileage. For all levels, this is a “No Drop” ride, no one left behind. See you there! Saturday: 8:30am at The Landing parking lot Red, Orange, Gold-Leaders: Jerry Scott, Jim Doane, Cam Young This will be a combo ride for all three levels to ride together with alternatives for returning. The base route will be Rock Store via Cornell. From there, riders will have three choices: Stay on Mulholland and return to Westlake, or, go upper Encinal, and then again choose to return to Westlake, or, descend via Encinal to the coast, stopping at Leo Carrillo for water/restrooms. From there we can choose which canyon to return on.

If you get to a regrouping spot and no one is there, consider yourself dropped. As always we will try to stick together & have a fun safe ride. We will regroup regularly to allow everyone a chance to ride together. If for any reason you leave a group ride, please pass along the information to the ride leader. It is mandatory to have & wear a helmet. It is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is in good condition (check expiration on helmet inner tag) and that your bike is in working condition as well. That’s all for now, folks.
