WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT
Hey CVC, We have another perfect weekend for riding - sunny and cool in the 70s or low 80s both days! It's high summer though, so hydrate and make sure to eat something as you ride.
On Saturday we have four rides. The Red Ride is heading out Hidden Valley to CSU, dropping to the coast, coming up Deer Creek, down Yerba and back up Encinal. The Orange Ride is heading for Calabasas to come up over Mulholland to do Cardiac Hill, the Rock Store and Encinal Canyon. The Gold ride is doing a Wood Ranch Loop out to the western end of Simi Valley. And we've got a purple ride heading up Reyes Adobe and through Oak Park and back down Fountainwood.
On Sunday the Red Ride is heading for Calabasas, up Old Topanga, descending to the Fernwood Climb and coming back over Stunt. The G.O. Ride is heading directly up Mulholland for an up-n-back route on Stunt. And the social ride is doing one of our favorite loops up Valley Spring to Westlake and Kanan, and descending back down through Oak Park.
We've also got midweek rides Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, including the our famous Rock Store Race Ride (with moderat-paced options), the return of our Pub Rides on Thursday nights and challenging destination rides Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
When riding with your groups, please be very verbal and watch for debris in the bike lanes. Always warn riders behind you of everything approaching! You are their eyes when you are on the front.
Our Purple and Newcomer rides are getting a good turn-out. Please help spread the word and bring friends! Our next Purple ride is scheduled for THIS SATURDAY. We will cover some information on group riding, then take a nice spin up through Oak Park. We can also put together a Purple ride anytime. Contact me or Sheri. Come join us and bring family and friends.
Let me know if I can help with anything bike or ride-related. I always have extra gear, nutrition, supplies and my toolbox, pump, etc. And let's ride!

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.
