[RBW] Re: RBW Rides Calendar
How will it work as far as... do people specifically have to check the calendar to see what rides are coming up? If I post (or email one of the mods to post) a PDX Riv ride for the first Saturday in April, do PDX area Riv-sters who are on the list have to take the additional step of going to the calendar to find out about the ride? Will rides just end up getting duo-posted... to the list and to the calendar? I don't mean this as a complaint at all... just an observation... This seems like one of those situations where a forum format with different categories (Riding Partners, Riv Wrenching, Ride Reports, FS/WTB, etc) could be more user friendly. --Smitty On Thursday, February 21, 2013 12:00:10 PM UTC-8, Cyclofiend Jim wrote: The recent thread about the upcoming Ventura SoCal Riv Riders ride finally sparked something in my brain, and I realized that it might make some sense for a general calendar of RBW-Oriented rides which take place.

[RBW] Re: RBW Rides Calendar
Andy - Have no idea how this will work. ;^) I think it's reasonably malleable - for example, you can invite specific people (guests) via email, and then mention that the event is in the calendar to open it up. The tinyurl link - http://tinyurl.com/rbw-rides* *- should be permanent. (the google link is kinda clunky, but once you add it to your google calendar, it will appear with your other stuff. This is probably as good a place as any to state the obvious disclaimer - the Calendar and all listings are not associated with Rivendell Bicycle Works. It is only an unofficial listing of events that might be of interest to people in the Rivendell Owner's Bunch here on Google Groups. I'm sure we'll gain some efficiencies as we practice with this.

Oop - sorry - rizzirattin' frizzifrattin' trackmouse! Anyway, as I was saying - we'll gain efficiencies as we play with this. And Conventions as well. Off the top of my head (at the end of a longish day...): General Location/Type of Ride in Headline (e.g. SF-North Bay Mixed Terrain) Description of Route in Description - The Description field supports a goodly amount of text. In fact, I just played around with a test event for this weekend. The listings even support some mapping. Anyway - I'm sure this will take more form in the coming days. If you want to post some rides, email me at my gmail account (cyclofiend at gmail dot com) for fastest response. - J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
