FAQ

Question: How do I start my ride from a different location from that which is shown in the ride when I select it?

Answer:  There are two ways to do this.
  1. You may add a note to the ride in the "Other Details" section titled.   Make the font bold and enlarged to catch the readers attention.
  2. You may submit a request for a new route with the new information.
Question:  In the past I submitted a ride request and could make the description whatever I wanted and more robust.  How do I do that now?

Answer:  In the past you typed in the full description of the ride and the detail you wanted.  That cannot be done now as the rides are stored in a data base and must have generic descriptions.  To add a more robust description of twists and turns enter these in the "Other Details" section when you request a ride.  So, if you're adding a stop at your favorite eatery along the way, this is where you would add that information.

Question:  I can't find the place on the calendar to suggest a ride. 

Answer:  You must be a member of the club to suggest a ride.  Also, did you forget to log in?

Question:  Do I have to be a club member to go on your rides? 

Answer:  No, you don't have to be a club member to ride with us, and there is no charge to do so.  You do have to be at least 18 years of age and understand you have to ride safely and obey traffic laws.  You must wear a helmet to ride with us.
