Hi All,
Below is your recap of all things CVC for the week of 8-3-2013 ....be safe, and have a blast!!
*Don't Forget to mark you calenders for the Annual CVC Members BBQ on September 15th. I will be sending additional info in the next few weeks.*
*As a * * reminder: we made some changes to our Sunday Ride line-up. We added
t he GO (Gold-Orange) Ride. This ride is aimed at the riders that use Sunday as their main weekend ride and want to go at a faster pace than the Social Ride moves at. Dale Smith will be the Captain of the new GO Ride, and **Henry Montalvo will Captain the Social Ride.
* *
* * Also don't forget we still need Ride Captains for a few of our rides. If we don't fill those spots by the end of August, we will be forced to suspend the affected rides until the vacancies are filled. * *
