05 May '23

Dear CVC, CVC along with the City of Thousand Oaks, and Pedago Bikes will be hosting the local Ride of Silence. Let's bring awareness to the drivers of the Conejo Valley, stressing the importance of motor vehicles being cautious and patient with cyclists. This is a NATION WIDE event. Please come show your support at our local level for cyclists all over the globe, for those you know who have had an accident and remembering and honoring the many hundreds of people we have lost in this world due to cars. Please show up and show your support as it is our mass numbers that will bring attention to the drivers on the road. I am attaching a video from a prior year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGpLtP0eavQ And here is a link to an Acorn Article about a prior ride. https://www.toacorn.com/articles/ride-of-silence-remembers-lost-cyclists/ Thank you for coming and riding slowly to show your support to all those hit and killed on the road.

CVC Thursday MTB- Dos Vientos holiday light ride🎄🎄
by Kent Koral 21 Dec '22

21 Dec '22

Hi CVCrs, I wanted to give you a few more details on this year’s Dos Vientos holiday light ride happening tomorrow night. The ride, as usual is a hybrid of fire roads, and fairly tame single track. It is gravel friendly also. We will depart from the Wendy and Potrero trailhead. We leave at 5:30 PM. Lights are required and a tail light is needed for this one. For those of you that we would like to join on your road bikes, we will depart the dirt and continue on the streets at the corner of Via Ricardo and Via Rincon. We will arrive at this location between 5:50 and 6 PM. The balance of the ride will be 100% pavement. But again full lighting will be required. We will then ride back to the trail head a and have a little celebration!! The total ride is around 12 miles, a little shorter if you’re riding to the the pavement meeting point. Don’t miss out as it is a lot of fun!! See you tomorrow night!! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

Hi All, There will be another great ride on Thursday. We will ride to the Poinsettias growing along in Camarillo. It should be a perfect day to ride, with good temps. We will take the back way through Santa Rosa Valley out to Camarillo. Meeting at the Library at Thousand Oaks. Parking will be behind the teen center by the pavilion in the back. See you then.

Thursday Morning Special Ride 12/14
by Sheri L 14 Dec '22

14 Dec '22

Thursday Morning will be the ride of all rides.... It is Jerry Scott's Birthday ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Real birthday coming Saturday!!! Anyone who dares to keep up with Jerry, this will be a 77 mile ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (lots of exclamation points today). This ride will travel through Thousand Oaks and Moorpark into Somis and then a return. Start time will be 9:00. And for those of you who need/want to cut it short, Jerry has some good jump off points. There are already a few of us who will do a *much* shorter version as Jerry remains the beast at any age. Take a look at the route. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41603822 A shortened idea would be to stay in Thousand Oaks. Leaving the landing at 9. For those of you heading out with Jerry, be sure to pack some food and enjoy the celebration of riding. -- Sheri
