CVC RIDE PREVIEW May 17-May 22
A couple of events to put in your calendar:
-Ride of Silence - May 21, 2014 at 5:30 PM at The Lakes on Thousand Oaks Bl.
The Ride of Silence is a ride to honor fellow bicyclists who have been injured or killed by motorists. It allows us the opportunity to help raise awareness of bicyclist’s rights to the road, and to let motorists, the public, and bicyclists know they must SHARE the ROAD. http://www.cvcbike.org/ros/
-Bike to Work Day: Friday May 16th, The City of Thousand Oaks will be hosting a "Pit Stop" in front of the Civic Arts Plaza on T.O. Blvd from 7am-9am.
-THE RIDES- Please familiarize yourselves with a posted route beforehand. The ride leaders like to keep things fresh and may throw something new into routes that have been ridden countless times before.

**-This is considered a "no drop" ride. The ride leader will keep an eye on everyone. No one is left behind.
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 & 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.
It is mandatory to have & wear a helmet. It is the rider's responsibility to ensure that the helmet is in good condition (check expiration on helmet inner tag) and that your bike is in working condition as well.
That’s all for now, folks. Have a great week!
