Calling all CVC'ers, On Saturday, May 6th, we will launch our new charitable event, "Conejo Valley Cyclists Benefit Picnic & Ride"; a members' event for CVC members by CVC members. All members will be able to participate and enjoy the fun. This event will focus on the one thing that has been the glue of our great club for more than four decades. CVC Club Camaraderie. For this event to be a success, we need everyone to be involved. We want your friends and family to be involved as a volunteer whether it be rest stops, SAG, or helping to set up the picnic. With this "members only" event, we need you to sign up soon, so we can have the best ride and celebration ready for you! . This special day begins at Thousand Oaks Community Park and rides begin at 8:00 and 8:30 . Pre-paid registration includes route slips with 2 new routes of 50 and 75 miles, (with an option to shorten the 50), and 1-2 supported regroup stops, along with SAG support . Post-ride celebration will continue at the park and will include lunch from a gourmet food truck, music, a silent auction, and fun! . This is YOUR ride, YOUR Day, You Own it, so please sign up now and be a part of the club you ride with and support! . A $65 minimum donation allows us cover expenses and still donate to a local charity . We will not have any official CVC club rides on May 6th as we are encouraging everyone to participate and support our annual fundraiser and official spring picnic. . We will pre-sale extra lunches at $20/adults and $10/children under 12. . There will be NO "DAY OF" registration. YOU MUST BE PRE-REGISTERED TO PARTICIPATE. REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK PRIOR TO THE EVENT. . https://www.bikereg.com/cvc-benefit-picnic-ride As cyclists, our reasons for riding are many: beautiful scenery, managing stress, setting and achieving goals, staying fit, socializing, etc. On May 6th, we will add the purpose of giving back to our reasons for riding by donating to the local community and the sport we all love. There will soon be a brief survey coming via email to help choose where CVC's donations will be directed and which charities we want to support. As a CVC member, I want you to know that this is a ride for YOU & a day for YOU to help make the Conejo Valley and the Cycling Community stronger. Our goal is to limit the volunteers to provide a greater per rider donation to charity, to involve the members in the decision making process, and keep CVC's commitment to give back to the local community and the sport we all love. For this event to succeed, you must OWN IT, so please sign up now and be a part of the club you ride with and support! Again, there will be a $65 minimum donation to participate in the "Conejo Valley Cyclists Benefit Picnic & Ride". There will also be extra lunches available for PRE-SALE Only ($20 for adults, and $10 for children). Ready to sign up now and help make a difference in our community?
