WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT

Hey CVC,
We have a perfect weekend for riding - sunny and 80 degrees both days! Be sure to hydrate and don't forget the sunscreen.

On Saturday we have three rides. The Red Ride is dropping down to CSU through HIdden Valley then over Balcom to Somis, and back home via Grimes Canyon. The Orange Ride is heading for Mulholland doing Stunt, Fernwood and Old Topanga. And the Gold ride is rolling through Lost Hills to Gillette Ranch and 7-Minute Hill up and back. 

On Sunday the Red Ride is Carlisle Canyon, Hidden Valley and Dos Vientos up Borchard. The G.O. Ride is heading for Dos Vientos directly, with a return loop around Wildwood and Westlake. And the social ride is winding up through going through Oak Park via Reyes Adobe and Lindero to Valley Spring and Kanan before returning down Fountainwood.

We've also got midweek rides Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, including the our famous Rock Store Race Ride (with moderat-paced options), a Wednesday afternoon spin with Sheri and challenging destination rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings. 

When riding with your groups, please be very verbal and watch for debris in the bike lanes. Always warn riders behind you of everything approaching! You are their eyes when you are on the front. 

Our Purple and Newcomer rides are getting a good turn-out. Please help spread the word and bring friends! Our next Purple ride is scheduled for May 6th. We can also put together a Purple ride anytime. Contact me or Sheri. Come join us and bring family and friends. 

Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra gear, nutrition, 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.
