TIME CHANGE REMINDER
Set your clock forward an hour early Sunday morning. We are losing an hour of sleep but gaining an hour of sunlight. More riding, yea!

SAFETY REMINDERS
One by One, Two by Two!
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.
I will always:
* 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

--------------------------------------------------------

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.

Please note the inclement weather policy below.

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.

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.

Henry Montalvo
President
Conejo Valley Cyclists

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.
