No reason to re-invent the wheel. I did not have the URL. Thanks. I do have to say the current website maintainers are rather reluctant to completely change over the whole website. My approach has been to concentrate on just the bike bulletin/calendar. It turns out this may be the heart of the website so it's not so easy to surgically replace. But I keep trying.... Two things, the pdx.rb/app/models seem to want members and thresholds which I haven't seen required yet for a bike ride. The RSS feeds are attached to members. I wonder how the RSS could be attached to events in two different ways. Either as they are announced or published as they occur. The timing of the latter is the neat trick and would be cool in all cases. I'd like to abstract the .sql setup scripts into migrations so allow it to be deployed on postgres. Are any of the website shifties on this list? Lennon, I heard from Cate that you are doing the PDF conversion currently for the bike bulletin.

This is something I will be able to evaluate.
