Thank you all so much who took the time to fill out the survey. Though there were a few areas that I wish were pinpointed a little better, but we got some good information and are thankful for your positive feedback. We ended up with 97 responses. 

I am going to share some results with you, but will not post any names or personal comments for privacy reasons. I will summarize some open responses. 

We were happy to see that just about 90% were ok with their climbing level in their group. 

41% of members want to move up to the next level and 36% are happy where they are. The reasons they do not move up are concerns over speed or fitness levels, and for some it is a time factor. 

Then for the question I wish I had written better, (more on this topic soon).

It asked how you felt about "away" rides. 

People seem to like the idea of them, the change of scenery. Half of the people want a variety other than the Ventura coast, and others want just the coastal areas as it is easy to get to, beautiful, and close. Very opposing views. If anyone has good ideas for routes outside of Santa Barbara, and Ventura area, please let me know. 

For now as a board, we decided to go every other month, though more in summer. Time factor seems to be the biggest issue in people wanting to do "away" rides, which again, leaves us to the closest areas, Santa Barbara/Ventura area. 

We are also looking at remote start locations for rides that are close, but a change of scenery. 

Another question that had a unique answer was this:

Clearly this was split in the middle. For sake of continuity, we will continue with an 8:30 start time in the winter. The yellow indicates changing to 9 only if it was too cold, but comments indicated too much change was not a good thing. I cannot seem to get the second page of responses to paste on.

And 8:00 in the summer, starting July 1st. There were a variety of single responses to this one.
