-Important Additional Information about Ride Options-
Normal Ride start location is the parking lot at the back side of Mission Park between Santa Clara Street and Main Street in Ventura. On Sat. & Sun. there is a "Fast and Long" ride at 8 am. On Sat there is a moderate ride to Carpenteria at 8:30 am. On Sunday there is a ride @ 8:30 that goes to various locations. There is a "Show and Go" ride anytime there is a holiday. Show and Go's begin at 8:30am. There are also "Remote Rides" that start at a location out of the City of Ventura.
Helmets required on all rides. Please remember to bring spare tube, patch kit, pump, cell phone, route map, route slip, food and sufficient water. Always let club members know at the time you decide to alter the route, extend the route or shorten the route during the ride. Always ride with a club member, never alone. Bicycling is a naturally hazardous activity because we ride on roads that cars navigate. Please be aware, be alert and always look twice before turning or passing. And remember, cycling is always fun!
"Fast and Far"
For the more difficult Saturday rides,
This ride varies but generally leaves from the Mission parking lot at 8. You can find out at the end of the week what it will be by checking http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/cibc_altrides/ or by calling Kevin Moore at 805-649-3250. You should be able to sustain 16 - 20+ mph in a group or pace line on level ground and climb well to be comfortable with this group. Our average ride is 40 - 60 miles and could be longer.
The “Year-Rounder” Program
The CIBC Year-Rounder (Y-R) program provides a structure to motivate you throughout the season and to recognize your personal achievements. The Y-R is designed to showcase consistent performance in cycling throughout the year.
The Y-R has different divisions to recognize different goals. Rides are categorized by distance (Metric, Century or Long).
Year-Rounder Divisions
Rides are tallied in the following divisions, plus the combined mileage from those divisions, as well as the
consistency-based award. All rides should be completed in a 24-hour period. A ride extending beyond 24 hours or across day boundaries will count as a single, extended ride.
- Metric Division: Rides of 62-90 miles.
- Century Division: Rides of 90 - 149 miles.
- Long Division: Rides of 150 + miles
- Consistency-Based Award: Ride at least one of the above rides every month.
How to submit your Rides
There is an Excel sheet that you can fill in monthly. Kate F. can send the file to you.
Any questions should be e-mailed to Linda B. at bebotts AT hotmail DOT com
Happy riding!
