Bridge to bicyclists
by Sheri L 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

Notice to all bicyclists, Caltrans has a major, two-year project planned to replace the bridge/overpass at the south end of the Rincon Highway. This is obviously a very important connection for bicyclists traveling along the coast. Drivers and Rincon residents can hop on Highway 101 and exit at Seacliff (near the Rincon Fire Station) to access the Rincon Highway. Bicyclists can't ride on Highway 101. So, an alternate accommodation is needed to allow bicyclists (and pedestrians) to have 24/7 access to the Rincon Highway. My suggestion has been to build a temporary ramp and bridge for bikes and peds to walk over the railroad tracks. Maybe you have a better idea. This is your chance to hear what Caltrans is proposing and ask questions. Please share this notice with others. Kate Faulkner <kerfaulkner(a)gmail.com> CIBike Government Liaison *********************************** *If you wish to participate in Caltrans "virtual meeting"* Please contact Jim Medina <James.Medina(a)dot.ca.gov> at: mailto:James.Medina@dot.ca.gov <James.Medina(a)dot.ca.gov> -- Sheri

Thursday, biweekly MTB ride
by Kent Koral 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Hey CVC’rs, This Thursday is the bi-weekly CVC MTB ride. There are many of you out there that we have not seen in a while. Would love to get you back out on the ride! We will be taking a very gently paced ride through Sycamore. We are running the classic CVC loop. This is an easy, rolling route, that is mostly gravel roads and blacktop with two sections of pretty gentle single track that have all kinds of fun little weee spots (OK, to be fair, you have to climb that silly hill at the end… but we’ve got off-road gearing for that). This is also an excellent route for gravel bikes! If you have not ridden dirt with us in a while, or are just looking for a nice evening stroll out in the hills….this is it! We will meet at Wendy and Potrero and roll out around 5:30 PM. Come on out and enjoy the canyon at night…it’s gorgeous. As usual, we will enjoy a nice refreshment after the ride! If you have any questions, DM me and I’ll be glad to answer them! Keep in mind this is a night off road ride and you will need sufficient lighting on your bike (along with the usual safety gear required on all CVC rides). Looking forward to seeing you out there!! https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34842648 Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

Terry's 68th birthday ride, Tuesday 9am at the Landing https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45338380 68 miles 6800' elevation gain. For those who are not ready for the distance and the climbing, this ride has several options. We start out with 1 ¾ laps around the lake so you could just do lake laps. Next, we regroup at Cornell and Mulholland Terry's ride is then headed to King Gillette and Piuma. Some will want to head to the Old Place and up RockStore or perhaps Lobo Canyon. Other options are King Gillette and back, Stunt and back or 7-minute hill and back. Jerry Scott 805 404-8525
