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.

Here is this weekend's club ride recap. Please refer to the individual ride announcement email for more specific ride details.
