Thursday Night Pub Ride
by Sheri Leiken 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

The Summer pub ride has returned! Great time of year. This year's summer fun will be lead by Lisa, Sheri, and Kent. We will be leaving every Thursday from a different establishment so watch for emails. Rides are about 20 miles average and we begin at 5:30. These are social paced rides, so everyone can enjoy. Stay for food, drinks, or anything of your choice, or just come for the "after" festivities. We will be meeting THIS coming Thursday at 5:30 at Stonehaus in Westlake for a nice cruise around Hidden Valley. It's a great ride for an up and back. This ride is being done at a social pace, with a regroup at the fire station and at the end of Hidden Valley Road. Those who want to do an extra climb go ahead and run up Treasure Hill and meet us at the end of Hidden Valley Road. See you at 5:30 at Stonehaus Thursday! We meet in the front by the fountain. Please allow yourself a few minutes to park. Lots of spaces in back. Good friends, drinks and food together afterwards! Bring your helmets, a jacket for after riding, and come on out. You do not have to stay for the festivities if that does not work within your schedule, and you are welcome to join the festivities if riding doesn't work. It is all about summer fun!

Cloudy in the mornings should give us cooler days! And the winds look pretty moderate, so we are good to go! A special thanks to Sheri, Kent and everyone who made last weekend's Benefit Ride and Picnic a huge success! You guys made it look easy, but it's a huuuuuuge job. Thanks again. What fun! On Saturday we've got four rides. The Red Ride is going up Rock Store and then Encinal Canyon, before tackling the dreaded Poterero Wall coming up from CSU. Then a cruise through Hidden Valley and home. The Orange ride is heading up Cornell to Mulholland as well, but then turn south toward Calabasas and climb Piuma before descending Stunt, back up 7-Minute and home through Calabasas. And the Gold ride is headed south too, but will roll North toward the Rock Store around Lake Malibou, then south on Mulholland to do 7-minute Hill and come home through Calabasas and over Mureau. And the Purple Ride will be doing a nice out-n-back around Lake Sherwood and to the stables in Hidden Valley. On Sunday, it's "How Many Ways Can You Get to Wildwood?" I will lead a Red Sprinter's Ride through Thousand Oaks, Dos Vientos, Wildwood and back over Westlake and Kanan. The Gold ride will do the moderate climbing version through Oak Park first, then over Erbes, Wildwood before coming back over La Granada and Old Conejo. And the social ride is heading directly for Wildwood over Old Conejo and Las Flores before looping up over Pederson after the park. Let's see where we all cross paths. And start a great Mother's Day! We've also got midweek rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings, the Wednesday afternoon ride with Sheri, and the Tuesday Night Rock Store Race Ride (with less racy options). Always be more aware and anticipate dangers when riding with your groups. You are the eyes of everyone behind you and the voice to point out obstacles, vehicles and other hazards - even when you are tucked into the peloton. 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 usually have extra gear, supplies and my toolkit, pump, etc. And let's ride! Bart Ziegler Ride Director Conejo Valley Cyclists REGULAR MID-WEEK CLUB RIDES Please note, we are short of midweek ride leaders now.

I know you there are many choices, and I am honored to ride and to be associated with all of you who supported the Conejo Valley Cyclists by giving your time, your financial and tangible donations, and your help to enable CVC to make our community a better place. What a great team we all are! The benefit was a huge success and the picnic, well, that was just flat out fun. Let's not forget the ride... We ordered no rain, and got a perfect day. Sure a few degrees less would be great, but we will take it. Made the beer and margaritas alot more refreshing! A Perfect Day! I want to give a shout out to so many people, and how lucky I feel to say that! When you see them, please let them know your appreciation. Our rest stop workers who gave up their day of riding OR did it for their dedication... Ali, Lou, Connie, Jeannie and Ursula.... and let's not forget those wonderful kids! Zoe and Zeke. Early, hard work, and true care for others. Our vendor support, Hyperthreads for the donations of kits, Win's Wheels, for the great support at the rest stop and donation of gift cards, Velofix for incredible SAG support and gift cards, Michael's Bicycles, JRA Bikes and Brew, (check out their new location in Thousand Oaks!), Nothing Bundt Cakes, Newbury Park Bike Shop, Dr. Heather White from Chiropractic Sports Institute in Westlake, Prevelo Bikes for that incredible little kid's bike.... And for our generous donations from our own club members, David Stumph, Brad Hughes, Paul Sterngold, Jim Doane, and Justin Kopiki for the amazing belt buckle, Harlene Roen for the beautiful Wine Blanket, Amy Patton's Mom MO for the adorable slipper basket, And for making these baskets so appealing with all the extras including your sipping pleasure, and getting them out there, please give a shout out Lisa Gutman, Kay Fields, and Susan Ashby! And thank you to the Korcheks for the much needed Margarita Making! And of course our own SAG drivers Bob Muzio, Jim Doane, and Jeremy Littman! You all got some great auction items so please, when visiting these local establishments, or seeing these club members, please give an extra Thank You! Thanks to the team that came to the meetings to help plan and make this happen and to Lisa G. for hosting! Thanks Henry for the great newsletters and for getting those out while flying from one place to another. To Sherrie F. for her editing, to Connie V. to help in the morning with sign ins... to Alfonso, David, and Jeremy..and to all of you who helped with clean up, and to those who signed up and couldn't ride... you rock! Last, to my hubby...Kent... we made it another year.... woohoo! As hard as it is to work together, being together makes it so much more fun. Thanks for your endless hours and always responding to my honey-do lists and thinking of everything, from PA systems, to permits and reservations, and especially the little things like getting up at 5 to put signs on the last part of the route. As honored as I am to do this fundraising and social planning, I feel this is a good time for me to work with anyone else who would like to take this event over. I have had 10 years on the CVC Benefit event circuit (Cruisin) and I feel retirement is approaching. It takes a team, so thanks CVC Team! Sheri L. CVC President
