Hey CVCers,
The weather will be cooler this weekend but very humid and draining, so extra water and electrolyte supplements will be helpful.
On Saturday, we have routes going to the beach and back up Mulholland, or a Rock Store and Encinal loop, or 7-minute Hill over Mulholland.
Sunday there are Dos Vientos routes, a loop through Newbury Park and Agoura, or Carlisle Canyon with the Social ride group.
Midweek rides are available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, including the Rock Store race ride Tuesday night, cruise rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and mountain biking on Thursday afternoon.Plan for the heat and watching out for signs that others are overheating.
Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra Clif bars, equipment and my toolbox, pump, etc.
Let's ride!

SAFETY REMINDERS
One by One, Two by Two!
If there is a marked bike lane, cyclists may ride shoulder to shoulder.
Single file otherwise. There is no three or four abreast at any time while moving.
If you are wearing a CVC kit, you represent the club, so please be sure to follow the rules of the road.
When riding with CVC, you agree to:
* Wear a helmet and ensure my bike is in good working order.
* Ride to the right, pass on the left.
* Ride in the bike lane (where available) and signal when moving into another lane.
* Ride no more than two abreast in the bike lane, single file on narrow roads, and avoid "Swarming" (bunching up and multiplying the chance of accidents)
* Call out and point if I see a traffic hazard
* Respect ALL traffic laws and the rights of all autos, bicycles, and pedestrians
* Ride predictably and remind other to be safe
* Be a bicycling ambassador
PARKING
Please remember when parking at The Landing for any weekend morning rides to park and congregate towards the far end of the lot away from the street and use the middle row. Do not park next to the homes.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
The Purple ride is considered a no drop. Having said that, please note that if you are falling behind or slower than the average pace, you may be dropped. All rides not asterisked are considered a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). If you get to a regrouping spot and no one is there, consider yourself dropped. As always, we will try to stick together and 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.
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.
