WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT
Hey CVC, We have another perfect weekend for riding - overcast and cool in the 70s both days! It's high summer though, so hydrate and make sure to eat enough as you ride.
On Saturday, we have three fun AWAY rides starting in Ojai, including Rose Valley, Pine Mountain and Lake Casitas. We also have a couple local rides from the Landing. In Ojai, the Red Ride is heading right out of Ojai and up Rose Valley all the way to the newly-paved summit at Pine Mountain. The Orange ride is doing a loop around Ojai, then up Rose Valley to the first turn-around and back down before looping around Lake Casitas. The Gold ride is enjoying the Ojai bike path for a bit before heading up Rose Valley and ending with the smooth descent back to lunch. Beautiful area, epic routes, great lunch options. Join us. If you have a limited schedule on Saturday, we also have a local Orange ride heading for the Mulholland climb up from the coast, or a Gold ride heading for Grimes Canyon.
On Sunday the Red Ride is heading for Stunt, going through Lost Hills, up Stunt, over to the descent of Piuma and back over Mulholland. The G.O. Ride is riding out to Simi Valley to do the North side of the Valley up Tapo Canyon, before returning over Big Sky and up Long Canyon and back over Olsen. And the social ride is doing one of our favorite cruises out to the Hidden Valley Stables near Treasure Hill before returning around Lake Sherwood.
We've also got midweek rides on Tuesdays and Thursday, including the our famous Rock Store Race Ride (with moderat-paced options), the return of our Pub Rides on Thursday nights and challenging 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 the first weekend next month. We always cover group riding information and do a nice easy cruise locally. 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.
