WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT
Hey CVC, We have a great weekend of riding - with temps at least ten degrees cooler than last weekend. But it's still going to get hot, so hydrate and don't push yourself too hard.
On Saturday we have three rides. The Red Ride is heading for up Westlake and down Decker, up Mulholland, down Encinal and up Latigo. The Orange Ride is heading for Calabasas to do a Topanga Canyon and Old Topanga loop before coming back down Cornell. The Gold ride is rolling out to Dos Vientos, then dropping to CSU and back through Santa Rosa Valley.
On Sunday we've got three ride options as well. The Red Ride will be looping around within Simi and Moorpark, with climbs including Long, Lost and Tapo Canyons. The G.O. Ride is doing a full Simi loop from the Chatsworth side, with options to go over Box Canyon or Santa Susanna. And the social ride is rolling up Westlake, over Valley Spring, and back through Oak Park.
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. When calling out, be loud, especially around vehicles.
Our Purple and Newcomer rides are getting a good turn-out. Please help spread the word and bring friends! Our Purple rides are scheduled for the first weekend of every month. 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.
