CVC RIDE PREVIEW September 26 to October 1
-WEATHER UPDATE- It looks like another hot weekend. Please consider the temperature when choosing a route and keep an eye on what your body is telling you and whether it's just fatigue or heat exhaustion.
There are two types of heat exhaustion: Water depletion. Signs include excessive thirst, weakness, headache, and loss of consciousness. Salt depletion. Signs include nausea and vomiting, muscle cramps, and dizziness.
-THE WEEKLY RIDES-
It is the individual cyclist’s responsibility to know the route, either by printed out route slip, or downloaded to their GPS.
Head on a swivel! Always keep an eye on what's going on around you. Try to predict what a motorist may do, and ride accordingly. Don't assume unless you've made eye contact with them and are clear with their intentions.

---------------------------------
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.
** 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 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.
That’s all for now, folks. Have a great week!
