For what it is worth, Facebook offers these options on-line.  If you like that sort of thing.

 

Happy holidays,

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!
