WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT
Hey CVC, We have a great weekend forecast for riding, with temps in the 70's. It's high summer, though, so be sure to keep your hydration program on blast - double bottle, double drinks.
On Saturday we have four rides. The Red Ride is heading for up Westlake and down Encinal, then doing an out-n-back on Corral Canyon. The Orange Ride is heading up Westlake as well, then over Mulholland, down Latigo and back up Encinal. The Gold ride head south for Cornell and King Gillette before doing 7-Minute Hill and returning through Calabasas. And our Purple Newcomer ride will cover some Group riding dynamics before doing a nice loop through Oak Park.
On Sunday the Red Ride is doing a recovery ride through Ventu Park and Green Meadow. The G.O. Ride is going out Hidden Valley to Dos Vientos before dropping to the beach via SCU and returning back up Mulholland. And the social ride is cruising around the lake, heading up Reyes Adobe and through Oak Park via Fountainwood.
On the Fourth of July, we've got two rides. Everyone will head out Hidden Valley toward Dos Vientos and either return from there, or continue down to the coast and return back up Mulholland.
We've also got midweek rides on Tuesday and Thursday morning and evenings, including the our famous Rock Store Race Ride (with moderat-paced options), our wildly fun Thursday night Pub Ride and 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, July 1st. 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!

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.
