Calling all CVC'ers,
On May 5th, 2018, Conejo Valley Cyclists will hold the 2nd Edition of our annual fundraiser, the Conejo Valley Cyclists Picnic Ride & Benefit. Because our club made the inaugural event so successful, it’s time WE do it again, and continue to support our community. Last year, CVC and its members made donations to 2 local organizations; Conejo Open Space Foundation and The Mike Nosco Foundation. With an even larger participation by our members, we can surpass last year’s donations—be sure to return the survey sent out to every member last week and be part of the decision making process that chooses this year’s charitable organizations.
Just like last year, all members will be able to participate and enjoy the fun. The Picnic, Ride & Benefit will focus on the one thing that has made CVC a great club for more than four decades—sharing the roads with each other and enjoying the sport we love. Just like last year, we want the entire CVC Membership to participate. And, just like last year we are looking for your friends or family to be involved as a volunteer whether at the regroup stops, as a SAG member, helping to set up or tear down the picnic, or as part of the team helping with the silent auction.
Because this is a "members only" event, we need you to sign up as soon as possible, so we can create the best ride and celebration for each CVC Member! Below are some details about the event…
· The event start location is at the Thousand Oaks Community Park and rides begin at 8:00 am & 8:30 am. · Your pre-paid registration includes route slips for the 2 scenic routes of 50 and 75 miles, (with an option to shorten the 50), complete with supported regroup stops and SAG support. · The post-ride celebration will continue at the start location and will include lunch from a gourmet food truck, music, a silent auction, and more! · Remember…This is YOUR ride, YOUR Day, and YOUR Event. So, please sign up now and be part of a club you ride and event that help make our community a better place! · A $65 minimum donation allows us cover expenses for the ride and still be able to donate to an organization that CVC members chose. · There will not be any official CVC club rides on May 5th to encouraging everyone to participate and support CVC’s annual fundraiser and official spring ride. · Extra lunches are available for purchase through the registration link: $20/adults and $10/children under 12. No Tickets will be sold the day of the event. · There will be NO "DAY OF" registrations or lunch tickets sold. YOU MUST BE PRE-REGISTERED TO PARTICIPATE. REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK PRIOR TO THE EVENT.

As cyclists, our reasons for riding are many: beautiful scenery, managing stress, achieving goals, staying fit, socializing, along with many other reasons. But, the goal of our May 6th Picnic, Ride & Benefit is not only to ride for the reasons listed, but to ride with a purpose: giving back. CVC has set this special day aside and encourages all its members to participate and help to help make the Conejo Valley and the Cycling Community stronger. Just like last year, our goal again this year is to limit the volunteers we need to provide a greater per rider donation to charitable organization you and other CVC members have chosen.
Again, there will be a $65 minimum donation to participate in the Conejo Valley Cyclists Picnic, Ride & Benefit. There will also be extra lunches available for PRE-SALE Only ($20 for adults, and $10 for children). Ready to sign up now and help make a difference in our community?
