Hi CVC'ers : So you can plan ahead .... - here is a reminder of June's Away Ride that we planned/announced at the beginning of this year Please note that AFTER the ride ..... - we are planning on arranging a group visit to: Santa Barbara Bike Coalition's "Bicycle Kitchen" where a group of volunteers have rented a space and assembled bike tools & parts for the local cycling community to work on their bikes with knowledge shared by the volunteers. I would suspect that they'd appreciate some donations of bikes/parts that you might have in your garage waiting for an appropriate home so perhaps we can bring some parts and accessories as a donation.
