Hi Everyone,

Well the Turkey Day ride is almost upon us and as usual it may rain. But in case we get lucky and have dry conditions, Lets plan a nice, social paced, 3 Lakes with North Ranch route. It gives us a ton of options to shorten for those that want to join but are limited on time.

For a detailed map and route slip, go to: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/678224

We will meet at the Citibank parking lot for a 9:00AM start.

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.

After the ride, please join us at one of the many refueling options available at the finish such as Natural Cafe, Sea Casa, East Coast Bagel, Sprouts Market, etc..

*ON SECOND THOUGHT...GO HOME BEFORE THEY REALLY GET MAD!*

Please remember to park in the area along Westlake Bl.(between the street and the first driveway aisle) and not in the area in front of the Shops/Market. If we don't respect the requests of the lease tenants, we could be asked to park elsewhere.

See you Thursday Kent Koral CVC Ride Director (818) 802-0826

Hey All CVC'rs

What happened to 2011! I just looked at the calender and realized we will be celebrating Thanksgiving in 8 days. And if you have been around for any amount of time, you know what that means... (drum roll please and cue booming voiced announcer)

*The Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Day Ride!*

That's right, here at the CVC you have to earn the right to plow through all that Thanksgiving culinary bliss. And a nice, social paced, pre-chow ride is just the ticket.

So, start working on those excuses to family, friends,visitors and loved ones as to why you will not be around on Thursday morning due to a need to ride your bike. Some of my personal favorites are: "But honey, If I ride, I'll be able to have a second helping of that vile, green, gelatinous desert substance that your mother always brings to dinner" or the the ever popular " You know riding puts me in a great mood, and helps me smile through Uncle Bob's riveting tales of glory as a professional broom ball player".

So mark your calenders for the morning of 11/24 and look for your CVC Ride Committee's formal announcement with start time and route in a few days.

See you on the road and trail!
