28 Feb '14

CVC WEEKLY RIDE PREVIEW and RACE TEAM NEWS March 1-6 Hi all! Like they say, “March comes in like a lion…”, so this weekend is likely to be rained out, although we may have better luck on Sunday. But, I’ll post the routes anyway so you have some good ‘stuck indoors’ reading. Coming next Saturday is our away ride. Starting in Ventura and doing the Lake Casitas/Carpenteria loop with leaders and routes for each level, it promises to be a beautiful ride, so we definitely have something to look forward to. Saturday: 8:30am at Sprout's parking lot Red-Gary Silver will lead the Crimson Crushers to the coast via Hidden Valley and up Yerba Buena. RideWithGPS route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3949831 Orange-Jim Doane and Jerry Scott pair up to take the Mighty O-Crew up Piuma and down Stunt via Cornell. RideWithGPS route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3977009 Gold-Petros Vasiliou will point the 24 Karats to a Newbury Park out and back via Lynn Rd. RideWithGPS route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/4100331 Purple-Bill Sietsema will lead Fuchsia Force for a Lake Malibou loop via Cornell.

Check your emails for any changes early in the week. Thursday: 5:30pm MTB Ride-Location and route TBA. Check your emails for announcement early in the week. SAFE CYCLING TIP OF THE WEEK: With wet roads it’s always best to deflate your tires 5-10 psi for better traction. Stay vigilant for debris that accumulates on sides of the road, and stay away from anything slippery; manhole covers, painted lanes, leaves. TEAM NEWS The team will be in Carson for the So. Cal. Crit Series on Sunday. After being stuck inside with this rain, the guys will be chomping at the bit to saddle up and put the hammer down on the competition. We “pity the fools” who want to go shoulder to shoulder. Let's wish them all luck! On Sunday, May 25, the team will be racing in town, so put the date in your calendar so that we can all be trackside to cheer them on. That’s all for now, folks. Have a great week! Cameron “Cam” Young CVC Ride Director 805-217-6659 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.
