This has been witnessed often recently on the club rides and poses a dangerous situation. When in single file formation and you want to move up, do not make your pass on a blind bend. There may be cars coming in the opposite direction who may be making room for cyclist(s) on the other side of the road. Wait to make your move until you have full view of the road ahead. Saturday: 8:30am at The Landing parking lot All Levels Spokes In the Oaks Pre-RideRoute link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/10941336 CVC is showing it’s support for this great celebration. We will have a short ride before the event ride so that we can roll over to the start as a unified club while flying our colors. Some info from the city of Thousand Oaks:"The 'Spokes in the Oaks' streets will be closed to motorized traffic for the day, bringing the streets alive with all forms of people-powered movement. You can walk, bike, run, skate to participate, plus we will have hubs of entertainment, food and activities for all ages. The event will extend along a 1.7-mile route from the corner of Townsgate and Triunfo Canyon Road with a route opening by Mayor Adam. First 1000 guests to the event will receive a complimentary water bottle from the City! These 'Open Streets' events are inspired by the weekly Ciclovia Events that started in Bogota, Columbia. Any Open Streets is a celebration that temporarily opens a stretch of city roads to all of the community turning our streets into an activity place.

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.
