We are hoping the smoke is all cleared by then, but we'll check the air quality as the weekend develops and modify rides if needed, or even cancel if there is significant concern or danger. On Saturday, we have four rides going out. The Red Ride will be heading up Westlake and down to the coast, then an up-n-back on Corral Canyon. The Orange will doing a nice ride up Mulholland, then climb Piuma and descend Stunt. The Gold ride will be heading for Moorpark and the College before completing a loop out through the West end of Simi Valley. And the Purple Ride is doing our most direct and leisurely ride to Wildwood Park and back. On Sunday, we've got three rides. The G.O. Ride will head over Westlake to Olsen and Long Canyon in Simi, then back and the long descent over Kanan. The Social ride is cruising up over Reyes Adobe and down Foutainwood, after a lake lap. And the Mountain Bike/Gravel ride will start in Newbury Park and hit some of the trails in the Dos Vientos area. We've also got midweek rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings. The Wednesday afternoon ride will resume the second week of January. Always be more aware when riding with a group. You are the eyes of everyone behind you and the voice to point out obstacles, vehicles and other hazards. Keep your spacing generous and focus your efforts on the climbs. Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra gear, supplies and my toolbox, pump, etc. And let's ride!

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.
