Meet at the end of Lang Ranch Pkwy at 6:00 pm. Thursday we're riding in Wildwood. Meet in the parking lot at the end of Los Arboles at 6:00 pm ** Most of the rides are approximately 8-15 miles and last around 1.5-2 hours. Our rides are done jointly with the Conejo Mountain Bike club (CMB). It is an intermediate paced ride and not a no-drop ride. but,lets stay together within our groups, and have a fun safe time. Always make sure you have your approved helmet (mandatory),water, spares, and a light (in winter). See you soon on the road or trail! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

CVC Ride Preview-September 4, 2014

CVC RIDE PREVIEW September 6-September 11 !!Ride Start Time!! Saturday rides will start at 8am This is on a week to week basis until the weather starts cooling down -UPCOMING EVENTS- Away Ride-Saturday, September 13 Ventura to Ojai and Santa Paula loop. This is a great ride with some wonderful views. So mark this date in your calendar. Routes for all levels. Details to come. Saddle Saturdays! “This seat is killing me!”. We’ve all said this at one time or another. Most of us have saddles we have purchased that worked for a while, and don’t now. Or, we’ve upgraded and now have extras just lying around. Yes, we can try a few from the local shop, but why not keep things “in the family”. So, we are going to try a bike seat co-op. Bring those bad boys to the ride start with your name and contact info on the underside of the saddle, I’ll hang onto them, keep track of who has what. Someone else can borrow and try it out. When someone decides it’s a keeper, the two parties can work out the deal. -THE RIDES- While in a group and riding in the bike lane solo, the cyclist must use the middle portion of the lane, not the white line separating the bike lane and traffic. This makes it safer for a cyclist to pass without endangering themselves by going into traffic or passing on the right which can endanger both riders. Saturday: 8:00am at The Landing parking lot (Note the start time!) Red Leader: Jim Doane Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/4915583 Orange Leader: Gary Silver Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/4862497 Gold-We are starting a new sub-level of Gold, same route, same re-grouping stops, but with a faster pace.
