Great rides this last weekend everyone. Keep safe and on track. This week we will head toward the beach on Saturday and the mountains on Sunday.
The Tuesday night race ride is back on and midweek rides are available Wednesday and Thursday.
Let me know if I can help with anything ride related.
Updates for this week include:

Cruisin' the Conejo
Please help spread the word. 
Please indicate you are going on FB and mention the event, related rides, unrelated encouragement to come, etc. The more mentions we have, the bigger turnout we will have. HIT "share" on your facebook. Thanks for all your effort. Volunteer Spot Sign Ups will be posted next week. 

This is the last week to order your club jerseys and kits. Please see the link that was sent and place your orders by SUNDAY! After that, the store will be closed. This is open to current members only. See the CVC website for info on becoming a member. 

Safety Reminder
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...
I will always…
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 other to be safe
Be a bicycling ambassador

Upcoming Events

Please note the inclement weather policy below.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.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.
