Happy Weekend to you CVC! We have an array of amazing rides ahead. As a reminder, we will meet in the parking lot of the Landing at 8:00 on Saturdays for the local ride, and 8:30 for the AWAY ride. AND..... 8:30 on Sundays *WITH YOUR MASK ON*! Once we leave the cluster of walkers around the lake, you are welcome to continue to wear it or not. When riding with us: · wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order · stay in bike lanes and be cognizant of social distancing · not overlap wheels (crosswheel) · 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 . 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 You will notice that the gold ride has no leader. It would be great if someone could jump in as you organize together, and take over this week. We most certainly will need some people to step up and volunteer to lead gold in the future.

Important Info on Mask Wearing
by president＠cvcbike.org 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

To Conejo Valley Cyclists, Beginning tomorrow, we are asking that you all wear a mask/face covering in the parking lot and around Westlake where we have plenty of walkers. We are doing a great job social distancing, but when passing walkers or other riders, or listening to ride start information, it gets closer than some are comfortable with. We look better as a group when we are doing our part of face covering. Many surrounding cities are now making masks mandatory and though we could say "we are exercising", we do not know who will be particular about this or not. So while we are in highly visible and populated areas where others are walking or standing with masks, it serves the community better to wear a mask. Thank you for doing your part, Sheri Leiken President CVC

Info on Hidden Valley
by Sheri L 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

Important Info on Hidden Valley: Next Monday and Tuesday (July 20th and 21st) the County has scheduled paving Phase II of the Potrero Road bikelane project. This section is between the bridge and Hidden Valley Road. They will pave 1/2 the street on Monday and the other half on Tuesday. Although one side of the street will be open to vehicles and bicycles during the paving please avoid this area. The new hot asphalt is not bike friendly and WILL NOT be good to your bike. The County expects to cat track the striping on Wednesday and put down the new striping either Thursday or Friday. The work on the bridge will also wrap up next week and the temporary traffic signal will be removed. 📷 [image: Image may contain: text and outdoor] <https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10158648752229629&set=gm.4592556614…> -- Sheri
