WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT
Hey CVC,
With all the chaos this last week, we are going to postpone the Away Ride this weekend and host regular local rides Saturday and Sunday from The Landing.
The weather should be really nice, with temps in the low 80s. It might be a little overcast Saturday morning.
On Saturday, we have four rides going out. The Red Ride will be heading for Piuma, down Las Flores to the beach, Back up Las Flores and home over Stunt. The Orange ride is going out Hidden Valley and Potrero to the Beach, and back up Mulholland before dropping down Decker. The Gold ride is headed directly up Westlake and over Erbes, and out to Simi Valley to do a loop back up through Long Canyon. The purple ride is going doing a lake lap before cruising over Hillcrest and up through the Conejo Creek and back over Old Conejo School.
On Sunday, we've got three rides going out. The Red Group will be going over Norweigen Grade to Moorpark and Grimes Canyon. The G.O. Ride will head for Simi Valley and do both Long Canyon and Lang Canyon on the North side of the Valley. The Social ride is doing a fun climb up Mulholland to Gillett Ranch and back.
We've also got a midweek ride on Wednesday with Sheri, and usually Tuesday night mountain biking with Kent. The Big Tuesday night race ride is on hiatus now until the time change.
We are looking for temporary ride leaders for Tuesday and Thursday while Sheila heals up. Please let me know if you are available to help out.
As always, keep an eye out for debris in the lanes and always warn riders behind you of everything in the bike lanes! You are their eyes when you are on the front.
Our Purple and Newcomer courses are getting a fantastic response. Please help spread the word and bring friends! We now have regular purple rides every Saturday, and another Newcomer's class on the first weekend of every month. Come join us for the Monthly Newcomers Class, with lots of great info from bike checks, to riding strategies, to group dynamics.
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.
