tuesday special morning
by Sheri L 06 Apr '25

06 Apr '25

Tuesday Riders, We will be starting off with a little twist on Tuesday morning. At the ride start, there will be a team of people from Acorn Bar, a protein, gluten free, vegan bar. They have a professional photographer coming and will be "using" us as "models" and tasters for this bar. See the info below: Acorn Bar (www.acornbar.com and @acornbar, #acornbar) As mentioned, we'll be taking lifestyle photos for this season to show how cyclists enjoy the bars (check out their IG and/or FB pages to see what types of images we've done in the past) to help them get the energy they need before or after a ride. Please let your riders know that for photography sake, it's best to not wear any gear with large logos - solids and subtle patterns work best. We're lucky to have Mendy Walsh as our photographer (photographybymendy.com) who makes everyone look amazing! We will arrive around 8:15 to ensure we don't miss anyone before they take off on their route, and will want to get a mix of shots of individual riders, group shots, and casual active shots; if you think of ways to maximize our time and get the shots we need please let me know. I've attached a photo release form for your review; we request that each person sign the form, but respect someone who may be hesitant to be a part of the experience and/or sign a form. I'll be sure to bring copies of the form to the event. We're looking forward to having fun and capturing some amazing moments of everyone enjoying the outdoors with an Acorn Bar. We can't thank you enough for agreeing to be a part of this day! Let's go ride 7 min. Hill out and back. Ride will leave at 9, but come early for the hoopla!!!!! -- Sheri

CVC CLOTHING-2 weeks only!
by Sheri L 31 Mar '25

31 Mar '25

Hi CVC, As promised, your club clothing store will reopen today. I know many of you missed ordering due to the fires and others wanted to see the kits first. They turned out wonderful! Be sure to look for *all pages* on the store site. We are offering many options including vests, jackets, longer pants, 3/4 bottoms, bibs, shorts, summer weight arm warmers, sleeveless jerseys for summer, and of course, the club jersey!!!! If you can just get one thing, I would highly suggest the jersey. And then again, if you want simplicity, the vest with arm warmers is also great! The orders take about 6-8 weeks to arrive at your home since they are custom made. If you did not get to try on, I would suggest the Volare Elite style as it seems to fit the majority of people very well. They run true to size. Here is the site: Your team store is live and ready for orders! Team Store Web Address: teamstore.agile-sportswear.com/store/conejo-valley-cyclists/ <https://sender3.zohoinsights.com/ck1/2d6f.327230a/82c54850-0e38-11f0-8d57-5…> *Members/Customers who wish to sign in to an account they created must go to the ABOVE link or directly to teamstore.agile-sportswear.com <https://sender3.zohoinsights.com/ck1/2d6f.327230a/82c54850-0e38-11f0-8d57-5…> . -- Sheri
