CVC RIDE PREVIEW
December 19-December 24


A letter from the outgoing Ride Director:

This is the last Ride Preview that I am sending out due to my resigning as CVC Ride Director.  It has been a great two years and an incredible experience.  Not only do I thank you all for putting up with my pre-ride bellowing, but I want to thank all the Ride Leaders who make things happen and keep the rides flowing:  Jerry Scott, Gary Silver, Mike Hackett, Henry Montalvo, Dale Smith, Kay Fields, Jonathan Woodbury, Sheri Leiken, Jim Doane, Sherrie Felton, Sheila Levine-Sherwynn.  

Included in my gratitude are the members who have stepped up when asked to fill in:  Chris Armstrong, Phil Callan, Sharon Campise, Lance Soloway, Craig Percy, Alan Dworman, Steve Barson, Petros Vasiliou, Scott Lorkis.

Yes, it takes a village to create, plan, and carry out the variety of rides this club offers.  I can't thank these people enough for volunteering their time and efforts so that we all can enjoy our time in the saddle.

See you out there!

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


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.


** This is considered a "no drop" ride.  The ride leader will keep an eye on everyone. No one is left behind.

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. 



That’s all for now, folks.  Have a great week!
