Hey CVC,
The weather looks cooler with a little breeze this weekend - so layer up and tuck in!
On Saturday, we have three rides going out. The Red Ride will be going up the Westlake Wall to Mulholland and over Latigo down to the beach, then north through Zuma and back up Mulholland. The Orange Ride will be heading out HIdden Valley, dropping down Potrero to the Camarillo Bike Path and back home through Santa Rosa Valley. And the Gold ride will be rolling out around Lake Sherwood and up Treasure Hill to Dos Vientos before swinging through Thousand Oaks and home over Las Flores.
On Sunday, we've got two rides this week. The G.O. Ride will be rolling through Oak Park before heading up to King Gillette, then up Mulholland and Lake Malibu before an up-n-back into Lobo Canyon. The Social Ride is cruising down Agoura road, up Mureau and the Long Valley stop at the bridge before rolling back the same way.
We've also got midweek rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings. And the Wednesday afternoon ride with Sheri.
Always be more aware when riding with your 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!

SAFETY REMINDERS
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
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.
