*CVC RIDE PREVIEW* December 24-December 30 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Time to reset the odometer. How many miles will you ride this year? As we start the new year, I want to make sure that we continue to focus on Safety. There have been a few complaints about riders not stopping at Red Lights and Stop Signs. Please remember that when you are out there riding you are a cycling ambassador. And, if you are wearing a CVC kit, you represent the club, so please be sure to follow the rule of the road. Below are some reminder... I will always… 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” 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 *- Upcoming Dates -* Saturday, January 9th: CVC Memorial Ride Wednesday, January 27th: CVC Members Meeting (at NPBS - 7pm) *- THE RIDES -* *Saturday: 8:30am at The Landing* *Red Ride - Leader Jerry Scott**Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11628009 <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11628009>* *Orange Ride - Leader Gary Silver (combo w/Red)Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11628009 <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11628009>* *Gold Ride - Leader Sharon Campise / Phil Callan* *Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/6134436 <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/6134436>**Purple Ride (RSVP ride only) - Leader TBA* *Route: Follows Gold and turns back early* *Sunday: 9am at The Landing* *Red Ride: Leader TBA* *Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/956707 <http://ridewithgps.com/routes/956707>* *G.O.

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. It is mandatory to have & wear a helmet. It is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is in good condition (check expiration on helmet inner tag) and that your bike is in working condition as well. Henry Montalvo President Conejo Valley Cyclists 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.
