There are several ways to help our fellow residents with the recent crises. Aid for Affected Residents: The United Way of Greater Los Angeles is partnering with United Way of Ventura County to collect donations for its its Disaster Relief Fund <https://www.unitedwayla.org/en/give/disaster-relief-fund/>. https://www.unitedwayla.org/en/give/disaster-relief-fund/ The CCF Wildfire Relief Fund <https://www.calfund.org/wildfire-relief-fund/> supports immediate recovery efforts for major California wildfires, as well as long-term preparedness efforts. https://www.calfund.org/wildfire-relief-fund/ Animal Rescues: The Humane Society of Ventura County is accepting animals evacuating from the Hill and Woolsey fires. You can also donate directly to the organization <https://www.hsvc.org/donate> or purchase items like food and toys through their Amazon wish list <https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2LHNG8JV4F1V0> . https://www.hsvc.org/donate If you are needing help of any kind, reach out to your fellow cyclists. Don’t try and do it all alone. I’ve got a power washer and a lot of elbow grease. *When riding with us:* · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · not overlap wheels · descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots · pass slower riders on the left · ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards · avoid bunching up · respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians · Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. -- Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200
