HOW to: Use the ride email list
The ride email lists are the workhorse for scheduling BD group rides. Everyone is welcomed & encouraged to create rides available to the team, whether they’re one-off’s or you’d like to establish a weekly event. Here’s how to send out an email blast:
Choose your recipients
BD Team Only • groups.google.com > BD > “New Conversation”
Community/Public • ride@lists.brazendropouts.org
We also have the listserv as a backup for members-only communication: bd-members@lists.brazendropouts.org
include in your email
Time & Date • important!
Ride Starting Point • some common locations include
Route • here are a few options to build & save routes
Strava (must have public account to share)
Pace & Expectations
Estimate the average pace of the ride
Estimate the total amount of time, start-to-finish
Pre-determine if the group will be no-drop or drop
Set expectations & give advice, especially on longer routes (how much extra food/water? Gas station stops available?)
And, enjoy!
