My philosophy is yes. Why shouldn’t we partake in the pleasure's life offers us? Like everything, this is a question that is answered differently depending upon the individual. Indulging for some is having a slice of pumpkin pie with TG dinner. Others a six pack of Bud. I don’t think one day of indulgence is going to affect the overall outcome of your strength and fitness. Allow yourself to be human and enjoy the fruits in your basket. Happy Thanksgiving! Safety Tip of the Week:  Ride One or Two Across-Ride single file or double file as appropriate to the roadway and traffic conditions and where allowed by law. Even where riding double is legal, courtesy dictates that you single up when cars are trying to pass you if the lane is wide enough for them to safely do so. When riding with us: · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · not overlap wheels · descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots · pass slower riders on the left · ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards · avoid bunching up · respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians · always use proper hand signals to indicate to drivers and other riders your intentions · we are a "rules of the road" cycling club · 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 -- Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200

Yes! If you live within 5 miles of the Landing, you should ride in. It will take you longer to load up your car than it does to ride over. It gives you a nice warm up since there is no one pushing the pace, and cool down for the same reason. It's also easier to stop off for a doughnut on the way home if your name is Jim. Safety Tip of the Week:  Stay on the right side <http://www.marc.org/bikeped/sharetheroad.htm> of the lane-Ride in a single-file line with other cyclists (not two or three abreast) if the street is too narrow for cars to pass. Cyclists are allowed to ride in the middle of the lane to increase visibility. Keep an eye out for parked cars (or rather, doors from parked cars opening into the street). Avoid the dreaded door-into-cyclist snafu by staying a little bit closer to the center of the street if there are parked cars. Also, move towards the left side of the lane when turning left. Stay out of drivers’ blind spots <http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/pubs/cycling-guide/section3.3.shtml>, especially at traffic lights or stop signs. When riding with us: · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · not overlap wheels · descend carefully!

Too unpredictable. We probably will get those 14 drops of rain after other 14 drops we got this morning but in any case you can't tell so I'm going to cancel. Sent from my phone that doesn't know what I'm saying. Sorry for all the mistakes.

If you want to check in with me, here is my number 818 621-1713. Thanks all, Would love to see you all tomorrow, but... also want to see a little rain, -- Sheri

We can all be inspired by this goal, but it does take a lot of commitment. Russ Mantle of the UK recently did just that, cycling an average of 14,700 miles per year for 68 years. I’ve pedaled 33,000 miles at age 50, so it’s not looking good for me. Safety Tip of the Week:  See and Be Seen-Whether daytime, dawn, dusk, foul weather, or at night, you need to be seen by others. Wearing white has not been shown to make you more visible. Rather, always wear neon, fluorescent, or other bright colors when riding day or night. Also wear something that reflects light, such as reflective tape or markings, or flashing lights. Remember, just because you can see a driver doesn’t mean the driver can see you. Make eye contact with other road users, especially at junctions, then you know they’ve seen you. When riding with us: · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · not overlap wheels · descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots · pass slower riders on the left · ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards · avoid bunching up · respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians · always use proper hand signals to indicate to drivers and other riders your intentions · we are a "rules of the road" cycling club · 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.

Just a quick reminder that we will meet tomorrow, Wednesday, at 3:30 for about an 18-20 mile ride. Always fun, always a good feeling when you are done with your mid week stretch. Let's be thankful we live here where we can be out riding in our little jerseys while the rest of the country is under freeze. Get it while we can! See you at 3:30. -- Sheri

Hi Sheri and all CVCers, I would love to join the Gold Away ride tomorrow, but I'm needing a ride *back* from Carpenteria. I live at PCH and Kanan Rd in Malibu, but I can also be dropped off along the 101 in Agoura, Westlake, or TO and my husband can pick me up from there. Can anyone who is going on the ride give my bike and I a ride back? My cell is: 805-245-4367. Thanks! -- Sheri

Monday, Veteran's Day Away Ride
by Sheri Leiken 09 Nov '19

09 Nov '19

For those of you who can join, please do. Riding in S.B. makes for a beautiful day! We will be meeting at Padaro Lane, (Santa Claus Lane) in front of The Garden Market. We will be traveling up the coast to Goleta Beach where we will turn around and come back through Hope Ranch. If the group wants to do the full route it is about 45 miles, and if you want to turn back earlier, that is another option. I can send a route if needed and will work on that later. The route is not very climby, but rather pretty and enjoyable for all! --Sheri

Most of you have seen me pulling the Uncrustable out of my back pocket. It’s hard to go wrong with PB&J in a convenient package. French toast is another great one. I pack them individually into sandwich bags, pour some honey on one side and pop it in the freezer. They warm up to perfection just when I need it. Generally, I eat something every hour from the start. It keeps me feeling full, and not trying to get energy when it’s too late. Safety Tip of the Week:  Watch for Traffic Coming from The Rear-Even when you are occupying the proper lane position, it often helps to know when a car is coming. Consider wearing/using a mirror. Since those in front cannot see traffic approaching from the rear, it is the responsibility of the riders in back to inform the others by saying “car back.” Around curves, on narrow roads, or when riding double, it is also helpful to warn of traffic approaching from the front with “car up.” When riding with us: · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise · not overlap wheels · descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots · pass slower riders on the left · ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards · avoid bunching up · respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians · always use proper hand signals to indicate to drivers and other riders your intentions · we are a "rules of the road" cycling club · 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 -- Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200

Hi All, I despise this time change, but with summer weather, and winter light, we can still ride mid week and get our legs moving. Routes are a bit shorter, but hey, we can be outside! Note the time change... for those of you who can't get out in the morning, this is the perfect ride for you! Rides are 17-20 miles, and about an hour and 45 min. Please let me know if you are coming as I may change start location from time to time. This week, let's meet at the Landing a *3:30*. We have plenty of time for a good Hidden Valley run. Sheri
