The weather is supposed to be hot, hot, hot this weekend, so bring two bottles and consider some electrolytes (and maybe a bag of ice cubes in your pocket). Drink plenty and keep your bottles topped off.

On Saturday, we have three routes, including the red ride doing Westlake, dropping to the beach and back up Latigo. The Orange ride is headed to the beach too, via Potrero and back up Mulholland. The Gold is headed for Grimes Canyon.

Sunday the Red group is doing Carlisle Canyon and Dos Vientos, with the GO ride doing a Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park loop to Dos Vientos. Or you can do the Social ride up through Carlisle Canyon and Hidden Valley.

Midweek rides are available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, including the Rock Store race ride Tuesday night, cruise rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings, the Wednesday Pub Ride, and mountain biking on Thursday afternoon.

We are planning a Newcomers Ride to begin soon. Tentative date is August 6th. Keep your eye out for more info and contact me if you have any input.

Please be extra careful and wary of road debris. Look out for each other so we can avoid possible accidents. Call it out and keep your friends behind you safe!

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

And let's ride!

If there is a marked bike lane, cyclists may ride shoulder to shoulder.Single file otherwise. 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

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.
