Wow, great rides all week everyone. We all got in plenty of time over Mullholland!
And with a number of "out" options, we were able to deal with mechanical issues and keep everyone on track.
Please remember to wear your CVC jersey out there. We are representing the club and it's easier to identify us.
Continue to communicate all road hazards and your intentions while riding ("right turn").
For a little variety, we've got beach (Latigo climb on Saturday) and inland options on Saturday, and some fun approaches to Simi Valley on Sunday (including the Box Canyon option - from the easier climb side).
The Tuesday night race ride is having a great turnout and Kent will be leading an earlier group out at a slower pace.
Keep the pace up but watch your speed coming down Decker!
Midweek rides are available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Let me know if I can help with anything ride-related.
Updates for this week include:
Cruisin' the Conejo

Safety Reminder
As the weather heats up, remember to hydrate. It is recommended to drink as much as a full bottle for each hour of riding!
If you notice another member with a full bottle, a little reminder can help out there too.
Debris in the roads continues to be a huge hazard. Keep your head on a swivel and call out everything.
One by One, Two by Two!
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.Please remember that when you are out there riding you are a cycling ambassador. And, if you are wearing a CVC kit, you represent the club, so please be sure to follow the rule of the road. Below are some reminders...Your agreement when riding with CVC: All members will:
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”. 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 others to be safe. Be a bicycling ambassadorUpcoming Events
