I think it is a good idea to use the digest on the website as
Brian suggested; however the one thing I would suggest not posting there
are
ride notices. I think those should continue to be distributed by e-mail so
it
comes into everyone’s inbox and they get notice of it rather than
having
to log on to the website to find ride info. There’s my two cents on
the
subject.

Brian,
You have a good idea. It would be great for the mail to be in digest
form.

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!
Dale Gunnoe
