Hey CVC,
The weather looks cooler again this weekend. We may get some rain and wind on Saturday, but Sunday should be sunny and perfect! We will send a cancellation email early Saturday morning in case of definite rain. Otherwise, routes may also be modified as we ride.
On Saturday, we have three rides all headed south. The Red Ride will head up Cornell to Mulholland and south to Old Topanga and Fernwood, before descending Stunt and back home over Mulholland. The Orange Ride will be heading south over Agoura and Mureau through Calabasas then over Old Topanga and Topanga all the way to the beach, then north up PCH and up Latigo Canyon. And the Gold ride will be rolling south to Calabasas and up Cardiac, then descending 7-Minute HIll and over Mulholland.
On Sunday, we've got two rides. The G.O. Ride will be heading for TO up Moorpark Road then over the Norwegian Grade to Santa Rosa Valley and West to Camarillo before looping up through Somis and coming over Bradley, Stockton and Championship Drive. The Social Ride is doing a nice loop around the lake, then up Reyes Adobe, over Kanan, around to Old Conejo and back to the lake.
We've also got midweek rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings. And the Wednesday afternoon ride with Sheri.
Always be more aware when riding with your group. You are the eyes of everyone behind you and the voice to point out obstacles, vehicles and other hazards. Keep your spacing generous and focus your efforts on the climbs.
Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra gear, supplies and my toolbox, pump, etc.
And let's ride!

SAFETY REMINDERS
If there is a marked bike lane, cyclists may ride shoulder to shoulder. Single file otherwise. There is no three or four abreast at any time while moving.If you are wearing a CVC kit, you represent the club, so please be sure to follow the rules of the road.
When riding with CVC, you agree to:
* Wear a helmet and ensure my bike is in good working order.
* Ride to the right, pass on the left.
* Ride in the bike lane (where available) and signal when moving into another lane.
* Ride no more than two abreast in the bike lane, single file on narrow roads, and avoid "Swarming" (bunching up and multiplying the chance of accidents)
* Call out and point if I see a traffic hazard
* Respect ALL traffic laws and the rights of all autos, bicycles, and pedestrians
* Ride predictably and remind other to be safe * Be a bicycling ambassador
PARKING
Please remember when parking at The Landing for any weekend morning rides to park and congregate towards the far end of the lot away from the street and use the middle row. Do not park next to the homes.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
The Purple ride is considered a no drop. Having said that, please note that if you are falling behind or slower than the average pace, you may be dropped. All rides not asterisked are considered a "drop ride" so please understand the route before you start (and how to get back). If you get to a regrouping spot and no one is there, consider yourself dropped. As always, we will try to stick together and have a fun, safe ride. We will regroup regularly to allow everyone a chance to ride together.
If for any reason you leave a group ride, please pass along the information to the ride leader.
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.
