CVC MTB rides for week of 9-1-14
by Kent Koral 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Hi All, Summer is waning and its time to start getting your lights ready. In fact, you should probably have one light on the rides now as it is getting dark at the end. I have been, and will continue riding the road on Tuesdays (and lately Thursdays also) for the summer ( a few more weeks a the most), but I am riding the dirt with the CMB crew my schedule permits. Its a great group, so get out and join in the fun either Tuesday or Thursday. Sorry for the spottiness in the announcement of the weekly MTB rides. The ride schedule for this week is as follows, per Ben Griffes with CMB: ** Tuesday we're riding in Chesebro. Meet in the front parking lot at 6:00 pm. Thursday we're riding in Dos Vientos. Meet at Wendy and Potrero at 6:00 pm ** Most of the rides are approximately 8-15 miles and last around 1.5-2 hours. Our rides are done jointly with the Conejo Mountain Bike club (CMB). It is an intermediate paced ride and not a no-drop ride. but,lets stay together within our groups, and have a fun safe time. Always make sure you have your approved helmet (mandatory),water, spares, and a light (in winter). See you soon on the road or trail! Kent Koral (818) 802-0826

CVC Ride Preview-August 28
by Cameron Young 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

CVC RIDE PREVIEW August 30-September 5 Ride Start Time for Saturday Because of the pending heat, all Saturday rides will start at 8am! This is just for this week. Hopefully we can finish before the weather finishes us! -UPCOMING EVENTS- Labor Day Ride 8:30am at The Landing parking lot. Have a holiday ride and wish Mitch Albo happy birthday. Help celebrate the semi-official end of Summer and Mitch's end to his 30's. Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5809536 Afterwards there is a no host B-day party at 12:00pm (or so) at the Public School 805: Restaurant & Bar in the Westlake Promenade Alley. Please RSVP to Jim Doane if you are planning on joining up for the party so that he can make reservations or at least alert them to our arrival. jdoane1175(a)msn.com Away Ride-Saturday, September 13 Ventura to Ojai and Santa Paula loop. This is a great ride with some wonderful views. So mark this date in your calendar. Routes for all levels. Details to come. Saddle Saturdays! “This seat is killing me!”. We’ve all said this at one time or another. Most of us have saddles we have purchased that worked for a while, and don’t now. Or, we’ve upgraded and now have extras just lying around. Yes, we can try a few from the local shop, but why not keep things “in the family”. So, we are going to try a bike seat co-op. Bring those bad boys to the ride start with your name and contact info on the underside of the saddle, I’ll hang onto them, keep track of who has what. Someone else can borrow and try it out. When someone decides it’s a keeper, the two parties can work out the deal. -THE RIDES- While in a group and riding in the bike lane solo, the cyclist must use the middle portion of the lane, not the white line separating the bike lane and traffic. This makes it safer for a cyclist to pass without endangering themselves by going into traffic or passing on the right which can endanger both riders. Saturday: 8:00am at The Landing parking lot (Note the start time!) Red/Orange Combo Leader: Jim Doane & Gary Silver Route link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5788568 Gold-We are starting a new sub-level of Gold, same route, same re-grouping stops, but with a faster pace.

CVC GO Thursday Ride - August 28 @ 5:30 p.m.
by Sherrie Felton 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

It looks like Ladyface will not be our post-ride venue for this Thursday's GO ride. It took several days (and contact attempts) to get a response from them. I found out late yesterday that they want me to sign a contract that guarantees $15/pp minimum, e.g., if we reserve for 20 people, we have to spend a minimum of $300, with any shortfall to be charged to my credit card. I don't feel comfortable with their requirements so let's go back to LAB Brewing this week. I am working on reserving a space at the back patio at LAB. The back patio is larger than the front patio and bikes are OK back there too. The route will be North Ranch, approximately 20 miles. I'll send out the announcement and details tomorrow.
