WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT

Hey CVC,

The weather looks great this weekend - with temps in the low 80s! But it's summertime hot and humid so drink lots and measure your efforts.

On Saturday we have four rides. The Red Ride is heading toward Calabasas, climbing Stunt, dropping down over Las Flores, north on the PCH and return back up Potrero. The Orange Ride is heading that direction as well, and will climb Piuma through Cold Canyon, back down Stunt and home over Mulholland. The Gold ride is heading directly for Calabasas over Agoura and Mureau, then coming back over Muholland with climbs including Cardiac and all the rollers back to Cornell. The Newcomers' Ride will be doing a lake lap, climbing up Lakeview and looping back around the Conejo Creek before rolling home back over Old Conejo and Agoura.

On Sunday we've got three ride options. The Red Ride will be heading for Dos Vientos through Hidden Valley, dropping to the beach via CSU, then returning home back up Encinal Canyon. The G.O. Ride is doing a ride heading the same direction to the beach through Dos Vientos, and will return up Mulholland . And the social ride is going up Westlake to Carlisle Canyon for an Out-n-Back before rolling out to the Horse Stables in Hidden Valley.

We've also got midweek rides on Tuesday and Thursday morning and evenings, including the our famous Rock Store Race Ride (with moderat-paced options), our wildly fun Thursday night Pub Ride and destination rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

When riding with your groups, please be very verbal and watch for debris in the bike lanes. Always warn riders behind you of everything approaching! You are their eyes when you are on the front. When calling out, be loud, especially around vehicles.

Our Purple and Newcomer rides are getting a good turn-out. Please help spread the word and bring friends! Our Purple rides are scheduled for THIS SATURDAY. We can also put together a Purple ride anytime. We may also add Purple rides every weekend soon. Contact me or Sheri. Come join us and bring family and friends.

Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra gear, nutrition, supplies and my toolbox, pump, etc.

And let's ride!

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.
