About the Ride

As cyclists, our reasons for riding are many: beautiful scenery, managing stress, setting and achieving goals, staying fit, socializing, etc. On May 6th, at the Inaugural CVC Picnic Ride & Benefit, we will add the purpose of giving back to our reasons for riding by donating to the local community and the sport we all love. 

To that end we will: Limit ride participation to current CVC members only; plan to minimize the amount of "ride day" support required to provide a greater per rider donation amount; invite all club members to participate in the decision-making process; and keep CVC’s commitment to give back to the local community. 
I encourage you to visit each recipient website to learn more about their goals and how they make a difference in our local community. Read on for more details about the ride below. I look forward to seeing all of you on May 6th!

Ride Highlights

  • Two distances to choose from, 50 or 75 miles, following separate routes into Camarillo. The two routes merge after reaching Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). Both 50 and 75 milers will ride down PCH, up and over Encinal Canyon, down Decker/Westlake and back to the start. 
  • Shorter Option: The 50 mile ride may be shortened to a 25 mile ride through the West end of the Conejo Valley.
  • SAG support will be available to provide assistance if you need it.
  • Stocked rest stops along the way to keep you fueled and rolling at your optimum.

Picnic Celebration

  • Lunch served up by one of the L.A. area's famous gourmet food trucks.
  • Great music, beer garden, raffles and give-a-ways.
  • Celebrate your ride and the day with your family and your CVC brothers and sisters!
