Sunday Social Ride Via Old Agoura and Dos Vientos
by dpssmith＠aol.com 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hi Fellow CVCers and Guests, Our Ride Director Norm has been at again and has perfected yet another Social Ride. Check out the link http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2279689 This ride is a little longer around 39 miles and should end around 12:30. We start out thru Old Agoura and back by way of Agoura Road heading around the lake and on our way thru Hidden Valley to Dos Vientos. Return via Lynn Rd. Surgical Ctr. Hillcrest and Old Conejo Rd. For those riders that prefer to ride at a faster pace than the Social Ride please have a route slip to avoid having the confusion we had last Sunday with missed turns and regroups. It is mandatory to have and ware a helmet and it is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is valid (check expiration on helmet inner tag, usually good for five years) and in good working condition. It is not a "no drop ride" but as always let's try to stick together and have a fun, safe ride. Things to have: Water to complete the ride or at least to reach the next water stop. Tools to perform minor repairs. Chain repair linkage. Inner-tube and inflated device. Cellular phone. Food to replenish energy. Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. After the ride, please join us at one of the many refueling options available at the finish such as Natural Cafe, Sea Casa, East Coast Bagel, Sprouts Market, etc.. Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Bl.(between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the Shops/Market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants, we could be asked to park elsewhere. See you Sunday, Dale

Wednesday Evening Beg/Int MTB ride, Sycamore Canyon, 6:00pm start
by Joan Sauber 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

CVC Wednesday evening Beginner/Intermediate MTB ride. *This ride is a mix of fire roads and technical single track ridden at a slower pace than the advanced ride.* Meet at Wendy & Potrero. Start time is 6:00pm. Hi Mountain Bikers, I'm starting up the Beg/Int MTB rides again but this time we'll meet Wednesday nights. Based on the demand for it, I'll schedule one Beginner ride every month. The rest will be more Adv. Beg./Int. rides. Mountain biking is great exercise and tons of fun. If you've ever considered it this is a good opportunity to try out this sport. Route to be determined. The goal is to ride from 1.5 - 2 hrs and travel about 8 - 12 miles. You don't have to have a mountain bike if you're new to the sport. A bike with wide tires and a little front suspension will do to get started. *Lights are recommended. Currently the sun sets at 7:15pm. * Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you there!
