I think even better, would be a GCC Forum set up on the website. That
forum could contain categories for classified, equipment wanted,
training and health, misc discussions, and ride info etc.
Any member could access the forum and through their options subscribe
to whatever threads they desired. Email notifications as to thread
updates are than completely under each persons control ... or
optionally just checking the site for info and personal messages. I
participate in forums, this way, in different industries and it works
perfectly.

Hello everyone!
My name is Dale Gunnoe, and Im a new member to GCC. Although I haven't
made it out on a group ride yet, I feel that I should share a few
thoughts with you.
I recently moved here from NYC, but I am a Gainesville native. While
living in NYC, I was responsible for managing a list similar to what
GCC offers for a social group of about 700 members. I emailed weekly
updates and info, etc.
I would highly recommend changing to a program that emails all members
once daily or weekly, rather than multiple emails from every member. I
find that my inbox is cluttered and the emails have different formats
and are hard to read.
An option would be to consolidate want ads, tips, and ride schedules,
and this info could be emailed to one member weekly, who would be the
master of ceremonies of email. For example, if you have something to
post, send it to the elected member by a specific day each week to make
the mailing for the following week. I know that for certain rides, the
schedules change, but this would make it very simple. I used a program
called constant contact, which I found very user friendly and
inexpensive.
Thanks for reading this email, and Im anxious to get out on the road
with fellow bicycle enthusiasts!
