Hello SYVCC How about that wild swing in the weather last week. 80 Degrees on Wednesday to Snowing on the 154 Sunday. It was good to get some much needed rain though. Both Saturday groups road out to the Santa Barbara Road Race and back last Saturday. It sounded like it was a lot of fun riding out, and a lot of work riding back in the wind…. Thanks to all that showed up to ride on a cold and windy day. The Saturday Rides this week will be back to the Normal Routes. See below for some club news and our 2025 Winter all club group ride that we hope to get a large turnout for. - Save the Date: All Club Party Sat Feb 22nd 4p-7p at Firestone Brewery, Food and the 1st round of drinks will be provided . We will send out a dedicated email to RSVP for this event. Hope to see everyone there! This will be for all club members and their significant others.
- We will also have an all Club No Drop Ride that day that will be led by Frazer and Thompson Ogilvie. https://www.strava.com/clubs/1783/group_events/1902790 At the end of the ride we will be stopping at our Club Sponsor Zaca Coffee in Buellton, they will have complimentary drip coffee/cold brew for all riders that day. https://zacacoffee.com/
