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.

Checking to see how many want to ride on tuesday morning? It looks like we should be without rain for at least a few hours. But temp will be about 48 to start! Still alittle messy out there, so I'll explore routes. If you're interested in coming, please send email back to confirm! Sheri

Saturday CVC All Level Zwift Ride-Kent
by Kent Koral 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

Hey CVC'rs, now that we have officially cancelled the rides for Saturday, here is the information you need for the Zwift virtual we are doing instead. Tomorrow we will be in Watopia riding the “Sand and Sequoias”. It will utilize the "meetup only view" function and also the “keep everyone together” function. This will also be a Teams meeting so we can chat. See further below for more MS Teams information. As I mentioned in my prior email, you will need to use the Zwift Companion app to *make sure you are following* Kent so that we can add you to the rides if you have not already done so. Please make sure you are following me by 7AM on The day of the ride (you only have to do this once) so that I can have everybody on the invite that wants to ride. for those that are newer to Zwift, you can start the ride up to 30 minutes late....but don't cut it too close. I will leave the ride open from 8:30 until 10:30 am. Also we will use the "keep everyone together" feature. you can google it to get more info, but it basically....keeps us together! As for the social side of this ride, we will utilize Microsoft Teams so we can chat. See the link below to use if you want to be part of the fun. No, you don't have to use video...no one wants to see me on the trainer in my Spiderman PJ's and riding shoes! Microsoft Teams meeting *Join on your computer, mobile app or room device* Click here to join the meeting <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NTkyNTMwMTgtMjI3My00…> Meeting ID: 213 098 087 491 Passcode: mMfNPT Download Teams <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app> | Join on the web <https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-teams/join-a-meeting> Learn More <https://aka.ms/JoinTeamsMeeting> | Meeting options <https://teams.microsoft.com/meetingOptions/?organizerId=215f4b89-6e35-4ac9-…> This may not be as good as the great outdoors....But it beats the couch all day!

CVC Zwift virtual ride
by Kent Koral 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

Hey CVC’rs, with tomorrow’s possibility of rain(and possible cancellation of rides-we are still analyzing it since those weather people are wrong sometimes) we are setting an option to having a single, all level Zwift meetup virtual ride for tomorrow morning. I will send out more information later on today. But In the meantime, If you are interested in joining, you need to be following me (Kent) on Zwift Companion so that I can add you to the meetup. If you have not used Zwift Companion in the past, it’s pretty easy, set it up on your phone via either the Google or Apple stores and get yourself signed in. Then do a search for other athletes and look for me under Kent Koral-CVC. Then just hit the follow button. I’ll do the rest. Look for more emails later today from myself and Jerry Scott. Y’all stay safe out there today. Talk soon! Kent. Kent Koral (818) 802-0826
