Ride leader documents

Everything ride leaders use most, in one place: responsibilities, insurance forms and Ride with GPS instructions.

Posting a ride

Ride Post Builder

Fill in your ride once. Copy the ride title and description into the QuickEvent, then click Post to Rider Alerts to announce it. The new post opens with everything filled in, including the sign-up link.

Rider Alert format

After you post the ride, paste its web address into step 3 of the Ride Post Builder and click Post to Rider Alerts. Check the post and click Post Message: it is emailed to all active members. Every alert puts the sign-up link first so members can register in one tap.

Subject: Thu Nov 5 · 10 AM · Seafarers Memorial Park · 20.6 mi / 1,645 ft · Moderate & Social

▶ Sign up: [web address of the ride]

[Ride description, pasted from the ride listing]

Changes or cancellations will be posted in this thread by 8 AM on ride day.

To get the ride’s web address, open the ride on the Event Calendar and copy the address bar. If the post window doesn’t open, start a new thread on Rider Alert Quick Notice and paste the message from the builder. For a change or cancellation, reply in the same thread and add “CANCELED” to the front of the ride title.
