Ojai Valley Trail Clean Up Days
Ventura Velo has signed an agreement with County of Ventura's Parks Department to help maintain two sections of the Ojai Valley Trail and we will be holding monthly Ojai Valley Trail Clean Up Days. The last Ojai Valley Trail Clean Up Day was held on January 19, 2008. We pick up nine bags of trash and debris and disposed of them properly. The first Ventura Velo Cross Country Tour has started and will arrive in Key West, Florida, in early May, 2008. This tour will follow the Adventure Cycling Assocation's Southern Tier route from the west coast to the east coast and section 7 of the Atlantic Coast route to Key West. If you are intrested in checking on the status of this tour please check the Cross Country Tour webpage to find out more information on this tour event.

Ventura Velo wants to thank all the volunteers, members of Team Ventura Velo, and our Directors who helped in the clean up and provided support for the Ojai Valley Clean Up Days this past year because they could have been doing other things! Thank you, very much, and keep up the good work in making our community a better place! Ventura Velo's directors have determined that this year we will contribute funds to additional 501c3 charitable groups that assist in our fund raising events and trail maintenance activities. If your organization is interested in helping, please contact Ventura Velo for more informaion. The next clean up day will be held in February just before the 2008 The Mardi Gras Century. If you would like to join us and help, just email us and you will be sent infomration needed to join in our clean up event.
