CVC RIDE PREVIEW
July 11-July 16



-RIDES FOR THIS WEEK-
It is the individual cyclist’s responsibility to know the route, either by printed out route slip, or downloaded to their GPS. 
     


Saturday:   9am at Leo Carrillo State Beach


Coastal Coffee Away Ride: Red, Orange, Gold-Leaders:  Jerry Scott, Jim Doane, Chris Armstrong, Cam Young

Route link:  http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5179515

Ride stats:  69 miles, a Metric Century (plus a little more), 1100 feet elevation mostly on the coast highway rollers.  

This will be a combination ride and we will all start out together.  As the ride progresses, the ride leaders will spread out along the route according to their prospective groups.  Since this is a longer ride than usual, and new territory for some, we will do our best to insure all riders have a fun and safe ride and be in contact with one another.

We will be seeing the coast, farm fields, suburbia, and marinas.  There is a Wienerschnitzel that we can get water at about 21 miles (noted on route slip) and at Emma Wood on the turnaround before heading to The Sandbox Coffeehouse (noted on route slip). 

For those who choose not to do the entire route, there is a Starbucks at about mile 22 (noted on route slip) if you’d like to get coffee and snacks before turning around.

For those wanting to do a full Century, check in with Jerry Scott at the ride start.

Ride start location link:  Leo Carrillo

Parking at start:  There is free parking on PCH, but make sure it’s not in the red.  The paint may be pretty faded, but it’s still considered “No Parking”.  There is all day parking in the lots right off PCH.  I think it’s a $12 charge so bring cash.  We will group for the start in the closest lot.




Westlake local Rides: 8:30am at The Landing Parking lot

There are no club rides scheduled at this location.  For those wanting to stay local, cyclists will need to organize themselves.  A suggestion is a route through Hidden Valley, over and around Dos Vientos.

Starting locations and routes vary, so check your emails during the week.  
This is an intermediate level ride that starts and ends at local watering holes, so you can finish up with some food, refreshments, and socializing with your cycling friends.



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.


** This is considered a "no drop" ride.  The ride leader will keep an eye on everyone. No one is left behind.

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 & 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.  Have a great week!
