The Red Ride will be doing Big Sky and Lost Canyon in Simi Valley. The Orange will head for the coast and climb back up Mulholland. The Gold ride will be heading for Moorpark and a return through the West end of Simi. And the Purple Ride is doing our most popular cruise up to Wildwood Park. On Sunday, we've got three rides. The G.O. Ride will roll north through Moorpark and Simi to Tapo Canyon Park. The Social ride is doing a nice out-n-back to the HIdden Valley Stables. And the Mountain Bike/Gravel ride will start in Newbury Park and ride the Los Robles Trail. We've also got midweek rides Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. With a chance of precipitation this week, be sure to adjust your speed if the roads to get wet, especially in corners and while descending! When riding in a group, you are the eyes for everyone behind you. Keep your spacing generous and focus your efforts on the climbs. Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra gear, supplies and my toolbox, pump, etc. And let's ride!

There is no three or four abreast at any time while moving.If you are wearing a CVC kit, you represent the club, so please be sure to follow the rules of the road. When riding with CVC, you agree to: * Wear a helmet and ensure my bike is in good working order. * Ride to the right, pass on the left. * Ride in the bike lane (where available) and signal when moving into another lane. * Ride no more than two abreast in the bike lane, single file on narrow roads, and avoid "Swarming" (bunching up and multiplying the chance of accidents) * Call out and point if I see a traffic hazard * Respect ALL traffic laws and the rights of all autos, bicycles, and pedestrians * Ride predictably and remind other to be safe * Be a bicycling ambassador PARKING 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. ADDITIONAL NOTES The Purple ride is considered a no drop. Having said that, please note that if you are falling behind or slower than the average pace, you may be dropped. 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. 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.
