Announcing Ride of Silence-Wednesday May 18th
by Sheri L 05 May '23

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.

Welcome New Board Directors!
by Sheri L 29 Aug '22

29 Aug '22

CVC, I am happy to announce that Jerry Scott has officially accepted the position of your new Ride Director. Jerry brings a great deal of experience to CVC Ride Directorship. He comes with a history of leading rides of all levels and was our Red Ride Leader and Orange Ride Leader, for many years. He has also led social, gold, the "unofficial" weekly Rock Store ride... Jerry has completed over 70 centuries.... and 30 double metrics.... A Beast for sure! He is traffic and safety conscious and has shown dedication to our club for a very long time. I am confident that Jerry will do an outstanding job. We'd also like to welcome Denise Casaro to the board as a Social Director, and Greg Jensen as Community Cycling Advocacy Director. On behalf of CVC, Greg will attend our local community meetings to help ensure safety progress on our local roads. The City of Thousand Oaks has an Active Transportation Plan that maps out streets, recent improvements, and future improvements for sidewalks, bike lanes, and bike routes throughout the City. Stay tuned for information from Greg on this. Congratulations to these dedicated volunteers. I am so thrilled to have their leadership skills involved with Conejo Valley Cyclists. -- Sheri Leiken CVC President

Thankful Thursday Route 9:00-Camarillo
by Sheri L 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

Jerry had come up with a new route for the Thankful Thursday Group and it was so popular that we are doing it again. Here is the route. It will be a different start location... not too far... and cool in Camarillo. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40271691 We will be starting in Pleasant Valley Fields. Should be a nice little ride along the coast. See you at 9:00. -- Sheri
