Hi CVC Riders,

I am one day early for the Sunday ride announcement but I am leaving town and won't be able to send this tomorrow!

It looks like we have a strong chance for rain on Sunday but just in case, Michael will be our fearless Purple ride leader, thank you Michael!!!

The Old Agoura Loop is on the books if it turns out to be dry...click on the link here to see a detailed map. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/303609

We will meet at Citibank (corner of Agoura Hills and Westlake), rolling out at 9:00 AM.

The Purple ride is a beginner club ride with a 12-13 mph average pace but is open to all levels. No one gets dropped and no one is left behind. Please make sure to wear the appropriate riding attire. Please check your bike prior to Sunday and make any necessary repairs.

Although the Purple ride is a "no drop" ride, for the enjoyment and safety of the participants, we will keep a 12-14 MPH average.

If you feel you are not Purple ready, but want to work up to the Purple level, please contact the Ride Captain who will gladly give you some pointers and advise. We strongly recommend that you come out and meet the riders!  The best stepping stone to grow into a Purple rider is to ride around Westlake!  When you can sweep those 5 flat miles at a steady 12 to 14 mph pace, and still feel ready for more, then you will be able to handle many of the standard Purple routes.
 
Things you need for every ride:

• Helmet-Mandatory
• Water or Sports Drink
• I.D.
• Cell phone
• Spare tube
• CO2 cartridge or hand pump
• Patch kit
• Route slip

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.

CVC Purple Team!  :-)
